sad, depending on the presence or
absence of "D's".
The Seventh Grade has been di-

ties give a program. Our first pro-
gram will be given by the Lone
Eagle Society, on March 16. This
will be an Irish program. We in

students. On Monday and Wednes-
day the girls report for work and
on Tuesday and Thursday the boys.
Friday is left open in order that
any exhibition games desired may
be staged.
The schedule for last week was
as follows: 5 minutes arm and
shoulder movement; 5 minutes body
bend exercises; Is minutes instruc-
ton in serving and receiving a vol

within the school building is to be
regretted. With gym facilities full
time instruction in physical educa-
ton could be arranged and the en-
tire school be benefited.
