in the gymnasium. There will be
separate displays from each of the
lower six grades. Junior high is
making several contributions. The
geography class is making special
booklets over the work that they
have covered, and if all the history
note books are as interesting as
few which have been examined, we
are sure the affair will be a success.
These boys and girls have also been
working quite persistently on Eng
lish note books. Displays are also
coming from the various depart
ments in high school. The manual
training boys have quite an array
of articles to contribute-cedar
chests, writing desk, etc. The home
economics girls are displaying part
of their years handiwork We
still have pupils who can master
difficult problems in algebra. There
will be several note book exhibits in
this branch. The English depart
ment will also exhibit note books
from the different classes. The high
school geography class has been
working the entire second semester
on maps and other units. The BIZ
ology class will have an exhibit and
when they are. all combined, just
see what we will have-a school
fair; certainly this will be worth
your coming to see. There will also
be the election of officers for the
coming year, and talks by the teach
