More Explanation.
The article outlining the plan for
| securing place on the Honor Roll
which appeared in the Tamarack last
week needs some further explanation
and correction.
High School pupils ordinarily carry
four subjects. An average of B e
points, in each of these studies plus
as much in department would make
the ten points necessary to appear on
the Honor Roll. An A 6 points,, Of
course, would balance c (1 point)
in some other course. Now the Junior
High pupils carry from six to eight
subjects and to make the requirements
equally high for them, they are re-
quired to carry an average Of B in all
their subjects or in other words to
make total Of two points for each
subject This is correction Is the
previous article made it appear that
only ten points were required for the
Junior High as well as the Senior
High). In each case pupils maintain
an average of B in all their studies,
the only difference being that the
Juniors carry more subjects than the
advanced grades.
That there is great deal of inter
est in the Honor Roll among par
ents as we'll as pupils is evident from
the number of inquiries that have
come in regarding the matter. 1t is
unfortunate that any misleading in
formation should be given as all rules
applying to scholarship should be def
mite and easily understood. The quail
fications now in force are substantial
ly the same as last year but they are
reckoned now ON the point system for
convenience.
Any pupil whose name does not ap-
pear on the Honor Roll and who be-
lieves that he is entitled to that honor
should consult his teacher at once.
Christmas Spirit.
Most everyone is thinking, dream
ing and planning for the future holt
days of Christmas. At home that fes-
tive air is everywhere and it is also
in the church and just any place, no
matter wherever you may go.
The teachers are planning and their
decorations are on the way. They are

any person to look into those rooms.
One decoration that | noticed in
Central caught my eye. It was the
Three Wise Men approaching Beth
lehem. 1t YVES beautiful and attrac-
tive. Done in the light and dark COM
binations it w1s marvellous.
Most Of those busy teachers in Cen
trail building have not completed their
decorating, but I am sure that it will
all be as striking as this piece. Just
plan YOUR time and come and visit
these rooms, for it will certainly not
be regretted.

Last Wednesday afternoon in the
junior high auditorium the fifth and
sixth grades were host and hostess
to the junior high and Miss Liebe's
room at program Their first num-
Der was Dance of Cornfield," which
was done in very cunning manner
by group dressed as cornstalks. The
shuffling of the paper made a person
think perhaps he was in cornfield
and not in school room on cold sf
ternoon in November. ~
No Thanksgiving. program could be
a true success without some songs. "A
group contributed this to the program
which certainly gave it a touch Of
that festive air.
The third act was a play, "New
Fashioned Thanksgiving" which was
composed Of cast from the fifth
and sixth grades Each character
played his part with a clever under
standing of it.
The Harvest Song was played in
pantonime style which was fascinat-
ing to eye and ear. The little farmer
boys working and the farmer maidens
singing to them was certainly effec-
tive.
An Indian dance concluded the pro-
gram. 1t was an appropriate ending
and good piece of work by a group
of supposedly little savages.
