Hitting The
High Spots
Stories Aside From the News
By s. p. s.

How cold is it out your way?" were
salutations exchanged between Ely citi-
zens last week. Many with theroneters,

temperatures ranging from 20 to so de-
grees below zero. But the coolest spot
in town was near the Pioneer school
where housewife reported that she
had placed a kettle of boiling water
outside the door and it froze SO fast
that when she took it in the ice was
still hot!
Numerous changes have been inaug-
urated in the high school in recent
years, especially in administration,
methods of teaching, addition of sub
jects, wider range of physical and in
dustrial education, and We noted the
other day, even to the marking of re-
port cards. When We attended high
school here the much coveted mark was
CO. which meant excellent and top
honors "U'' was the lowest and meant
unsatisfactory and failure and when
this mark appeared on the report card

prompted many students to relieve their
parents of the irksome task of signing
the report card and SO they signed for
them without bringing the card home.
Through the steps of progress in the
schools the "E" has graduated to "a"
and that is the acme of the monthly
worry. But the lowly ''U' has not pro-
crossed step and still bears the
penalties and significance of yore. One
student, however, is hmping this week
for alleged misrepresentation of the
mark to his mother. She discovered his
deceitfulness when she remarked to a
neighbor that she was SO happy her boy
was doing well in school as he received
two marks for the University" last
month.
