Crowded out last week.

(CfOWded out laSt week.
The first division of the English III
class conducted a very interesting
storytelling hour and Easter party
for the First Graders on last Thurs
day morning. Each child found a nest
filled with Easter eggs and a little
rabbit on his desk when he came to
school. Five girls told stories and sew
en- others dramatized a story. Another
committee arranged for the entertain
ment. The party was held during the
regular English class period. Each
member of the class received a letter
from a first Grader thanking the class
for the party.
An unusual experiment has been
cerried out during the past two weeks
in the English ~ class. The request
came from members of the Class
that they be allowed to treat some
authors as they wished. The Class fl
nally agreed upon the Authors Byron,
Keats and Shelley. From a study of
the lives and works of these three
men a list of the important poems was
made and books were found which
contained the poems. No definite ques-
tions were to be answered. Each ru-
pill was to determine for himself what
was important. On several occasions
questions arose which needed explain
alton, and there was always scme pu-
pill who had mastered that particular
poem. The ersults were very satisfac-
tory. The motive no doubt, in many
cs SEES. was to get a mark but several
pupils expressed their appreciation Of
literature that they could choose for
themselves. Everyone reported on the
works that had been listed on the
board, and more than half Of the class
read the longer selections.
The American Problems class has
been discussing the relation of Pric.
Supply and Demand. 1t was agreed
that Economic Laws as a rule hold
true, but that in periods like the pres
ent, there are apt to be many artific-
ial regulators of these three import
| ant Economic Factors.
The whole school is turning to out
| door sports as the Spring seems to
have at last established itself. The
thing that is bothering the boys at
present is just where they can work
out for spring athletics. The field that
has been used in the past has been
plowed and put into crop since last
spring.
The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
grades were called together last week
fer the purpose of forming a kitten
bell league. Over eighty boys were at
the meeting and the matter was ex-
planned to them by Mr.. Sandlin and
Mr.. Stegner. Each Of the five rooms
was to select a member to act on the
committee for arranging teams and a
schedule. An opportunity was to be
given to play regular baseball for
those who desired on two nights a
week and Saturdays. AS a result OF
the meeting of representatives. from
the different grades, four teams were
organized and a schedule is being ar
ranged for a six weeks period. Cap
tains will be elected and position as
signed on Wednesday of this week. A
first and second place pennant will

having the highest percentage of
games won at the end of the schedule.
The teams were balanced as far as
possible so that the competition will
be keen and a real pennant race should
be the result.
Commencement Exercises will take
place on Tuesday evening, May 26.
