LIBRARY
This week is National Book
Week. This week was created to
stimulate the interest of everyone
in books; it Is to bring to their
minds that there is library from
which they can find books Of all
kinds. Book Week was originated
for this purpose so why don't you
use it as such?
In our library the Children's
Room has been completely redecor-
ated. There are many displays in
the library furnished by the grade
teachers, some representing books
either titles, characters, or scenes
from them. There is only one way
to get the real value from these and
that is to go to the library and see
them for yourself. Miss Finnegan
the librarian, is waiting to receive
you. And, surprise! A little white
rabbit will be there to open the
door for you, and thus, you will be
received into Bookland.

EDITORIAL
For five weeks now the Junior
Class play cast under the direction
of Miss Laughlin has been working
hard to give us good performance
of Tarkington's Play "Penrod." 1t
gives you a picture Of boy life and
that Of the typical American fam
lily. Harrington excells in the under
standing of adolescent boys and
girls as is made evident in his
treatment of the characters, Bob
and Margaret, Penrod, Sam, and
Marjorie in this play. He admires
the FRANKS Of real "he" boys, polk
ing a little fun at the sissy type
like George Bassett. The novel, al
though written about 1916 or
1920, makes a play which can be
current any year-one of the tests
of a good drama.
From all reports the play should
be very good. Let's every one be
there on Friday, November Id, to
see it. Help the Juniors to earn
their money for the Junior and
Senior Prom. There's still time to
buy ticket. Seniors, you should be
there in full force because you
want a good prom and it will be
your last. Well see you at the play

season by meeting st. Cloud Tech,
on their floor at st. Cloud on Dec
ember 8. This will be the fourth
consecutive year that Sank Centre

Word of the week-Webster un-
abridged dictionary gives defin-
ition for the word basketball as
follows:
Basketball-a game, usually play
ed indoors, in which each of the
two contesting teams endeavors to
toss an inflated ball into an elvat-
ed goal, defended by the opponents.
This word and definition will be
in almost constant usage in sports
circles from now on-at least at
