ror last week Miss Ruth Mueller.
fourth grade teacher, was overlooked
in the list of grade school teachers
continuing their positions here. It
is interesting to note that from the
teaching angle, instructors who were
replaced have, for the most part
moved on to better positions; and
this is considered an excellent rec
concentration to a school system.
Among those who secured better
positions were Betty Howard to the
Walla Walla high school, e. A. Nc
Dowell to Portland, Viola Sykes and
Mary Wommack to Yakima and
Hazel Belle POINTER to Kent.

appearance at the close of school

Spotty p. Linn, five-months-old
pointer pup belonging to Mr.. and
