GRADUAL
CHANGES
AROUND
BUILDING

Every week sees a few changes
both inside and outside of the school
building. Last week a low, wooden
fence, painted red for danger, made
its appearance around the shrubbery
at the side entrances of the school,
These were put in place after some
of the trees had been broken off by
the carelessness of someone on a
bicycle During the week the grad
ing of the athletic field was contin-
ned and the brush and bushes on
the boundary towards the l.. d.
Caulk COmpany's plant was cleared
away.
Inside the building a big improve
ment was made by the hOuse-clean-
ing process which went on over the
weekend. The ianitors must have
been busy with soap and water over
Saturday and Sunday for many of
the walls that were covered with
finger marks are now spOtleSs Once
more. II seems so good TO have ev-
erything spick and span once more
that il would be worth the effort to
keep it that way.

Buy Your Ticket From A
Senior.

The tickets that have been given
out for the Senior movie benefit
have been selling very well, so far.
The movie featuring Harold Lloyd
in Feet First" is scheduled for Feb
ruary and 10. Yet there should be
a still greater sale of these tickets
for the Seniors to make much profit
from the movie benefit. We would
greatly appreciate all the towns

In the second half Milford took
the offensive and started a shooting

The new Anglo French italian naval

be started tomorrow, but neither Mr..
Morrow nor any other representative Of
the United States will be present OFF,

The naval agreement will be made
effective after its drafting by an in

identical statements by the three gov

agreement, but it was understood this
was merely to have him present If the
United States participated. Since the

it is understood Japan will also stand
