HIGH SCHOOL
NEWS NOTES

Unique and practical was the key
note Of the assembly period Monday
last--unique from the standpoint Of
entertainment, and practical because
it involved n money-making scheme;
II scheme whereby every class in tho
high schools was enabled to take ad-
vantage of the same and use it to
their own benefit. The scheme
seemed similar to the pot of gold at
the rainbow's end, but after few
explanatory sentences and some very
practical demonstrations the scheme
became very feasible one. Mr..
Watson Of the Curtis Publishing
company cxpounded the idea. or plan,
of selling the Country Gentleman, =
magazine which needs no praise, for
1t stands on its own merits, at . 80
per cent profit to tho individual OF
class selling the magazine. Every
subscription is worth 81 per year,
and 80 cents Of this amount goes to
the class which secures the subxcrip-
ton; thus goodly amount may bs
derived from the sale Of this maga-
zine. The race has been on for
week, and il many remain without
this magazine for the next year, or
years to come, we shall have greatly
overestimatcd the ability Of our
youthful statesmen.
One of the most soul-stirring and
inspiring talks was given to eager
ears "Wednesday morning in AZ
scmbly. 1t has often been said and
noticed that persons deprived Of
their cycsight have visions which fur
surpnss those of persons normal In
that respect. This same was true Of
l.. d. Meyer. II painter contractor Of
Denver. who. although without sight,
spoke in such u forciblc manner that
no person was conscious OF his do
feet. In II beautiful way he likcned
our lives to "a garden. which may bo
lovely or ugly according to the
thoughts, aspirations and ideals
which we plant therein. The Scnti-
ment Of his talk reminds one Of
Edgar A. Guests little poem:
RESULTS AND ROSES
The man who wants garden fair.
Or small or very big.
| ustk r.~nsutu., knr nd tkAeN
Must bend his bnck and dig.
The things are mighty few on earth
That wishes can attain;
Whstc'r we wnnt OF any worth
We've got to work to gain.
II matters not what goal you seek,
Its secret here reposcs-
You've got TO dig from week to week
To get results or roses.
The third trial, or time. in often q
charm. and 30 Il proved in the case
Of the PIT. A. The last two sched-
ulcd meetings Of the Parent Teacher
association were forced to be post
poncd, due to inclcmcnt weather.
The meeting WINS finally held last
Wednesday,. with many members
present. No special program had
been prepared, but much in the why
Of business was accomplished. Tho
PIT. A. has IA quiet and unassuming
way Of making plans and accomplish
ing works of worth M n result. Due
to the combined efforts of this organ
iza,ion and the domestic science de-
paftmcnt II supply Of china and sil-
ycrwnrc has been purchased for
school needs. The PIT. A. showed
~ sincere school interest by purchns-
inp n page in the high school annual,
n deed which was greatly apprc-
cia,cd. Plans for gardens among the
school children and prizes for same
were discussed.
This week marks period Of rest
and relief for Mrs. Cattcrson and
members of the senior clnss. who
have been working steadily that the
