Our school is progressing nicely with
Mr.. Earl and Mr.. Clyde Smith as
teachers.
All The pupils have settled down to
work since the second monthly exami-
nation Some of our grades were low,
because we lost some Of the first of
school We have set our aim higher
next month. Come along class mates
and join the top ranks "In study
there is power"
Mr.. Smith has been lecturing to the
fourth grade pupils how to study. Some
Of our advanced pupils might profit
from this.
We have organized our society. The
following officers were elected: Elvis
Johnson, president; Gladys Johnson,
secretary; Ona Smith, vice-president ;
Helma Jones, treasurer. The new Off
GERS and program committee are giving
service of first quality, which is al
ways demanded by our school.
When you want chorus just call
on our boys. They have adopted as
their standard, minute Men," for they
are prepared to sing on minutes no
tice.
For quick and efficient telephone ser
vice call on the fifth grade class. Aline
Mondy has won great favor as opera
tor.
The bad weather has taken charge
of our ball court Guess this week
must have been the girls week
Up to this time we have enrolled
eighty pupils.
We have some new pupils from
Skaggs in school now. They ought
not to be strangers as they spent two
terms under Mr.. Smith at Skaggs.
We think our school will produce n
Washington and Lincoln. The boys
that viii probably win this distinction
are George Chastain and Jewel Cox.
They have mastered one division of
their work this term.
Our Algebra class is doing some
splendid work. The work seems to he
more difficult. That means more mid
night oil.
We welcome to our class the boy or
girl who is willing to pay the price
10 become the leader in that class.
He or she must dig as men dig for con-
eeaIed gold.
Mr.. Smith was inquiring about
new pupil when he noticed in his file
a paper signed "Dink"
When asked why our iails ere filled
we point TO the vacant seats in the
school room. When we find someone
filling these undesirable places, think.
Did they spend as much time as they
should in the school room. Parents,
you are laying the foundation for the
future welfare of your children.
velpo Smith has been the leader of
his history class for the last two
Who will have this honor next
We are proud of our fifth grade
class. They are one of the best work
ing lunches we have in school, They
also held this distinction when they
were fourth graders Aline Mondy is
her way to the head of the
class in geography.
Mrs. Erva Buckley and daughter,
Elsie. Cecil johnson and Herbert Cook
were welcome visitors to our school
Friday.
Lois Mondy ought to feel proud of
the work she did in geography through
a series of difficult review questions.
Mr.. Smith announced IN class Friday
that she had made greater advance
ment than any of the seventh grade
pupils.
The seventh grade history class had
better watch Helma Jones or she win
be the leader in the class before they
know what they are about.
