Local School
Has Standards
of 10 States
Affords Entry To Other
Schools Without
Additional Tutoring

Maintaining standards scholastic
ally approved by education depart
ments Of nineteen states, Sank Gen.
tire has been placed on the list OF
secondary schools accepted by the
North Central Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools, Supt.
w. A. Kohl announced this week.
Action was taken at the 43rd an
nual meeting Of the Association in
Chicago April 6 to 9, and member
ship is dated from April 9th to
March 31st Of next year, the &C
companying certificate read.
Purpose Of the North Central as
ISOLATION, Mr.. Kohl explained, is to
maintain standards In college and
high schools education acceptable
over a wide area. Courses and cur
riculum in the local school meet the
standards setup in nineteen states.
Advantage to students for a sys-
tenn to maintain membership in the
association, Mr.. Kohl said, is that
ut affords opportunity for gradual
ing students to matriculate into
schools Of higher learning without
the additional process of tutoring.
Background of the local schools
membership in the organization
dates back to the first acceptance
in 1912. From that date on they
were accepted continuously until in
1880. In 1881 the school was drop
ped from the rolls in a readjust-
ment program which shunted cur
ricula about drastically. Member
ship Of the local school has been
maintained each year since then
and now has acceptance until 1889.
This North Central Association is
the same which recently ousted the
Agricultural College Of North Da-
kota from its lists, and Is even now
investigating the University Of that
state, it is reported.

Work Completed We'd
nesday-Under Sponsor
ship Of Legion

Under the sponsorship Of the
American Legion here, students OF
both Sank Centre schools were fin
ger-printed, with parental consent,
by men from the sheriff's Office of
Art McIntee, this week.
Working in connection with the
school health department, deputies
completed the work Wednesday.
Roughly 1t was estimated about six
hundred Of the near one thousand
local students were permitted fin
ger printing, Miss Alma Rehm,
school nurse, said.
Students In all grades and high
school submitted to the identified
ton. Students from st. Pauls Par
ochial school were printed Wednes-
day. Detailed reports Of the num-
Der Of students entailed in the worl.
will be available later.
According. to the deputies, prints
taken Of all fingers of both hands
win be sent to Washington for fill
ing. There they are entered in the
personal file for Identification pur-
poses only" they said. TITS a sep
arate setup entirely from the GRIM
inal file," they pointed out.
Oftentimes finger print records
have been the only means for iden-
tification, 1t was pointed out. In
case of serious injury, accident, or
death, when no other Identification
is available. the finger printing
files yield up an unfailing identifi-
cation.
From the rough estimates afford
ed, Sank Centre will fall short of
other schools conducting a like
practice. st. Cloud schools were
finger-printed one hundred percent.

Automobile Theft
Tuesday Night
Stolen Car Of Olivia and
Holdup Clue To Perpetra-
tons-POlice on Trail

George Berggreen's Oldsmobile
car was stoken Tuesday night at
about $50 o'clock, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Berggreen were guests In the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. III. F,
Schmidt, on Pine Street. The car
was parked in front Of the Schmidt
home, and discovery Of the theft
was made about ten o'clock.
Authorities were Immediately not
flied, and early Wednesday morning
a 1898 v-s Ford pickup, which had
been stolen at Olivia, was found
parked In front Of the home of
George O'Gara, on Pine Street, just
one block from where the Berg
green car was parked when stolen.
Local police called Olivia and
found the Ford pickup had been
taken from its owner, Fay Ellis,
by two men, both armed. This hold
up took place at about four o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. It Is thought
these same men took the Berggreen
car.
Mr.. Berggreen stated that he had
about enough gasoline in the car to
drive to st. Cloud, and holdup In
the Granite City similar to the Oil
via holdup led him to believe that
he would probably find his car in
the vicinity Of st. Cloud.
Local police officers, notified by
Mr.. OGera, Immediately gathered
data of the Olivia holdup, and in
formed highway patrolmen Of the
theft Of the Berggreen car. The
Bureau Of Apprehension was noti-
fled Wednesday morning. Mr.. FL
lis, owner Of the Ford pickup, came
to Sank Centre Wednesday morn
ing to get his car.

Excellent training, a well select

presentation Of the Senior class
play Friday night, May 8, as one
of the best shown at the local
school for sometime. A great deal
Of credit for the splendid perform
ance must be given to Miss Dor
othy Wilson, director, who has prov
en- herself adept in the direction Of
plays in the school.
For reasons, we shall not go in
to laudatory remarks Of each in
dividual member Of the cast, but It
Is true that every one Of them gave
an excellent portrayal Of his or her
role, making the play considerable
above par in the realm Of school
plays. About 400 people attended
the play.
Growing Palms." a three act
comedy, a story Of adolescent youth,
is particularly adaptable to high
school use, and 1t presents oppor-
tunity for good work by the stu
dents. The play was full Of laughs
and was enjoyable from start to
finish. The three acts are set in
five scenes.
The school orchestra, under the
direction Of Prof. Jack Sampson,
presented several selections before
the opening Of the play, and also
played between acts. The orches-
ira showed splendid improvement
and their offerings were enjoyed by
the audience.
The play, which depicts modern
family life, presents the problems
of youth today in a humorous way.
In it's presentation 1t seemed as
though It had been written espec-
tally for the members of the cast,
instead Of the cast being selected
for the play. The four leads were
taken by Faye Sprague, James
