over the high score held by one of
their number, Marian Beadle. This
places the seventh grade again in the
lead. The fifth and sixth grades
have the same score for their first
rank. 1t will also be noticed by COM
pairing the above ranks that the
seventh grade has higher number of
points for the tenth place than is held
by any other grade.
Fifth and Sixth Grade Notes
The fifth and sixth grade girls
have again given their Clean Teeth
Contest Party. 1t was held Friday
evening after school. Grace Johnson,
sixth grade girl, whose birthday
was Monday, offered to treat the sixth
and fifth grade girls. Her mother
prepared some very nice ice cream
and cake which was enjoyed very
much by all the girls at the party.
Some interesting games were played
and all had a pleasant time.
In-srder to encourage the pupils to
bring back their report cards immedi-
ately after they receive them, the
four upper grades are competing TO
see which grade can get all their
cards back first. At the close of the
last six weeks period the fifth grade
was the first grade to get all of their
cards back. This makes the second
time the fifth grade has beaten the
other grades.
The sixth grade history class fin
ished their history work last Friday.
They will take up geography the rest
of the year. They received their new

COMMUNITY CLUB
LUNCHEON TO BE
MLD;EXT WEEK
do Things" In 1928
Year 1928 viii Be Record
Breaker In Community Club
Activities; Large Attendance
Urged For Luncheon, At
Which Ball Will Start Rolling

Alta Boy!
The year 1923 promises to be a rec
ord breaker in activities of the Jules
burg Community Club, if the plans
now being outlined by the officials
of the club are carried out, and all
that is needed to successfully carry
out these plans is for the progressive
citizens Of the community to give
their cooperation in community work.
The Community Club is an organi-
zation that should be kept very much
alive if it is to function for the best
interests of the citizens of Julesburg
and community, both in business and
social way. The Community Club is
one of the community's biggest as
sets, for it takes an organized effort
upon the part Of the citizens of the
community to accomplish results for
the betterment of eur town and the
surrounding territory.
At a meeting of the officers and
the board of directors of the Jules
burg Community Club held at the
First National Bank last Tuesday
evening, the keynote was "Do Things
in 1922 And by doing things is
meant organized action upon the part
of the members of the Julesburg
Community Club. At this meeting it
was decided to hold club luncheon
next Wednesday noon, at 1890 o'clock
at the Lincoln Cafe, and the business
men and. citizens of the community
are urged to attend. 1t is the plan
of the board of directors that these
luncheons be held each week, but this
matter will be decided at the lun-
cheon next Wednesday.
A large number of the business men
and citizens of the community Will re, re-,
member the weekly luncheons held
here three or four years ago, and VIII
agree that this feature proved to be
one avenue for keeping the Commune
ity Club s"live wire" organization,
one that was up and doing things
for the welfare of Julesburg and
community. At these luncheons the
business men and citizens gather
round the festive table for a social
and business hour together, and the
result is that there is better un-
derstanding of your fellow man.
