Senior Notes
The snow fall caused a number of
vacancies in the assembly on Monday
as the BUSES were unable to get
through.
Two more members of the Senior
high school have parted with their
tresses; they are Beatrice Martyr
and Rose Costello. Who is the next
one?
Last Wednesday Carol Coons the
winner of the sub-district oratorical
contest went to ST. Cloud as a con-
testant for the district championship.
Glenwood won first, St. Cloud sec
ond, and Sank Centre third.
Jerome Johnson who has been ill
from pneumonia for the past seven
weeks is expected to be back to
school this week.

The public speaking class has just
finished writing an original twenty
minute play, and, to cap the climax,
Mrs. Richards told them they had to
memorize it. No wonder the class is
looking so "glum'' with that PROPOSE
ton confronting them.
-
The snow fall has rather enlivened
the periods before school. 1t keeps
the students lodging snow particles,
which have mean habit of sliding
down the back of ones neck, where
they release a sub-zero temperature.
-
The Chemistry classes are going to
make mirrors this week. Just what
the girls have been praying for for a
long time.
The Public Speaking class enjoyed
the presence of Ted Lewis and Harriet
Sweetman during their Monday
morning session. They seemed to be
rather amused by recitations made
by the class, especially at Carols
Walter: "What is H o?
Octavia: (Perpleved) "Why I'm
sure don't know"
Walter: 81 though everybody knew
that. H O is for drinking and gem
eral cleansing purposes"
