The first issue of the F. H. S. News
was issued January 31st. It is the first
paper of the kind ever published here
and is the outcome of a course in Eng
lish laid down by the State Board of Ed
ucation. The course demands that each
senior in order that he or she might
graduate, shall develop a project repre-
senting a years work. In order to gain
more school spirit in the school and to
encourage more cooperation between
the school and the people Of the town.
four of the members of the senior class
have collaberated and as their projects
will publish the F. H. S. News once a
month until the end of the school year.
This means there will be four more is
sues after this one. we sincerely hope
that the paper will have the hearty sup
port of the community. If, at the end OF
the school term, through the help OF ad-
vertisements and subscriptions, there is
any money left, it will go toward fund
to obtain a good speaker for the COM
