The senior class gave a splendid
assembly program on Thursday of
last week. This was n of the best
programs of the year. There are,
perhaps, more good singers in the
1924 class than in any other that
has graduated from the Wolf Point
high school. We shall miss these
people next year.
Twenty-four Graduates
Wolf Point will graduate the larg-
est class in its history. Twenty-Five
members enrolled as freshmen in the
fall of 1920. Twenty-one of these
people will graduate next Wednes-
day. Four of the others will grad
uate elsewhere in high schools. Three
other members will graduate. These
people Joined the class of '24 in '21
and '22. At present there are TWEEN
ty-four members of the 1924 class.
All but two or three will be given
diplomas. These two or three will
complete their work at Dillon this
summer.
Five Finish Normal Training
Five girls will graduate from the
Wolf Point high school normal train
ing course this year. This course
is four years long. These people who
complete it will be given second
grade teacher certificates in addi-
ton to their high school diplomas.
This will enable them to teach in
schools in Montana. Those who will
receive the certificates are Thelma
Anderson, who is now teaching the
Liberty school; Ernestine Warm
brod, who is primary assistant in the
town school; Mildred Kimmel, Will
ma Gorley and Lillian Hubbard.
This course is an opportunity for
our young people. Next year we ex-
pect to graduate from eight to IL
people. This is the only normal
training high school in eastern Mon
tana. Our rural schools are in
need of trained teachers and no
graduate needs to worry about a
position after he or she has complet-
ed the course. Irene Hanson who
is now teaching the Pershing school
is a graduate of our course.
Volt Field Meet
On Wednesday, May IA, the sec
ond annual rural school field meet

send a 100 per cent enrolment to
Volt. Parents, teachers, pupils, and
friends make a large gathering. The
first number on the program is an
old fashioned picnic dinner. Bask-
cts loaded with delicious edibles are
brought and no one goes away hun
CRY.
The Wolf Point high school band,
which is the best school band in east
ern Montana, furnishes plenty of
music for the occasion.
The early part of the afternoon
was taken up by sports. Track
events mixed with school numbers
