The declnmatory contestants are
practicing for the contest to be held
the latter part of April.
The Gam | Intruding" cast had a
party at the school house last We'd
nesday evening.
Mr.. Henry from the Billings Poly
technic Institute spoke to the Assem-
bly, on Wednesday afternoon. He
told about his adventures while trav-
cling in Europe in a very interesting
manner Not all speakers have the
power of personality that Mr.. Henry
has. The high school students wish
Mr.. Henry might visit again.
The Seniors have chosen 1.-THE Go
Getter" as their Senior class play to
be given May 3. The play has a
Spanish setting and deals with the
very modern question of oil wells,
but this doesn't fail. There are HUI
morous complications arising every
minute.
Do not forget the high school OPP
eretta on Friday evening, April 5.
1.-THE Gypsy Rover" roved until he
found what he wanted and then took
it. The music in this operetta is light
and melodious.
A literary map of the British Isles
has been bought and is now on dis
play on the bulletin board in room
5. The map is very interesting show
ing the locations of the settings Of
many of the pieces of literature that
are studied in high school.
Grade Notes

told about Easter eggs one day. Ar
yliss had a surprise for the first
grade on Thursday. She brought al
rabbit cookie for each one in her
grade. Carol brought Easter eggs
as her treat.
Second Grade: Susan Francisco
is a new pupil in our grade. An or
iginal Easter story by Frank Wig

in the mud. He got me all black

got home my mother gave me an
Easter surprise-a very hard pad

Third Grade: The third grade n.y.
giene class have started work on a
little health play called "The Hobby

The fourth graders have been
writing spring poems. The class vot-
ed this one the best:

Self Control and Cooperation

In school as in all walks Of life it
is necessary that we exercise self
control and practice cooperation. Our

do this one must control his desires

Skelligs List Survival
of Old Irish Custom

The Skelligs list is at once the
dread and the Joy of unmarried Irish
youths and maidens in Valencia, Ire
land, westermost point of Europe.
The list, the Kansas City Star In
forms us, is nothing more than sue
cession of names Of such young men
and women, but it is supposed to
bring them a wife or a husband with
in a year If their name is upon it.
The Skelligs list is the survival of
an ancient custom founded on the
Skelligs rocks, two huge rocks, $50
feet high, which protrude from the
ocean IA miles from the coast. When
young men and women, so ran the
legend, refused to marry, they were
taken to the rocks and left there for
a week. At the end Of the week they
were forced to marry other obstinate
young eligibles.
The great Skellig rock was once the
site of religious foundation dedi-
Gated to the archangel, st. Michael.
The remains of the cells and chapel
of the monastery are still we'll pre-
served. They are mostly of conical
shape, and are built of uncemented
stones.

Living Things Thrive
Under Canopy of Ice

Life proceeds calmly enough within
every pond and stream rooted over
with its CLASSY canopy like natural
dollhouse. Peer down through the clear
ice and you will see the plants are
green, though small, and that there
are fishes gliding about. Their scales.
however,, show that they grow but
little now. There is enough to eat,
but their appetite is poor.
The land snails spin storm doors
athwart the opening Of the shell, and.
creeping into some secure crevice, be-
come dormant; but the pond snails
move about as usual, but build no new
shells.
The small aquatic creatures still
creep laziIy over the fermenting mud
or ensconce themselves in its depths.
The water spider is wrapped in a
glistening bubble of the air he took
down with him.
All these tiny creatures of natures
underworld are at ease. There is no
need now for activity, little necessity
for hunting or fleeing. Hunger is
stilled, no energy need be expended in
producing eggs or in the distress Of
molting; and so, like the plants, the
animals lie still, recuperate from the
waste of one summer and gather
strength for the next.
