The Good
Desert

The average monthly rainfall IN
the Imperial Valley is less than
a third of an inch: about one-half
of the time no rain at all occurs.
The entire annual precipitation
about equals a good sized summer
rain storm of the middle states. AS
to temperature, it is interesting TO
note that beginning with Septem-
Der the temperature drops ten de-
grees each month, so there are even
steps in the decrease in summer
heat, for example, September aver
age temperature, 83; October 73;
November 81; December 50. Novem-
Der is neither too hot nor too cold
it is just right. During some years
the thermometer has reached the
ninety mark, SO degrees being the
maximum for November. The aver
age daytime temperature for the
desert in the vicinity of Ell Centre
is so degrees, and the night temper
ature extreme is 46. In other words
it is warm enough during the day
TO luxuriate IN the sunshine with
out discomfort and at night an
overcoat is necessary and couple
OF extra blankets for bed covering.
In November the sun shines near
ly as steadily as during the pre-
ceeding months, being per cent
less than in September or October,
or 80 per cent of the possible. The
average noon relative humidity is
26 per cent, increasing to a maxi
mum for the twenty four hour per-
iod of 81 per cent. 1t is great mis-
take TO conclude that the desert
Is always dry and the air always
desSicating. There are times when
the air is nearly saturated or 100
per cent There is more wind dur
ing November than during the pre-
ceeding or succeeding month. No.
vember is one of the pleasantest
months of the year; it ushers in
that never to be forgotten cycle
OF months - November, December,
January, February, and March. With
the gradual adoption of air condi-
tioning for homes, stores and Of
fices as well as public auditoriums.
1t will be possible to simulate No.
vember weather throughout even
the spring and summer months on
the desert.

Coolidge Union High School
Given North Central Rating

The highest rating obtainable by
an Arizona high school has been
given Coolidge Union high school
by the North Central Association
of colleges and Secondary schools.
This means that in a few months
more than two years after its or
ganization Coolidge High school has
attained standards on par with the
best high schools of the state.
In 1885, when Coolidge high
school opened its doors for the first
time, in it's temporary quarters,
it looked like a long, slow pull to
full recognition. However, before
the end of the first school year it
was given Class B rating by the
State High School Inspector. This
admitted its graduates to Arizona
colleges upon recommendation OF
the principal. Last year, upon com
pletion of the new building, the
high school was given Glass A rat
ing which admitted all gradutes TO
Arizona colleges without question.
Now that Coolidge high school is
accredited by the North Central AS
ISOLATION, its graduates will be &C
cepted throughout the United States
and students transferring from one
high school to another will have no
difficulty in getting their credits
accepted by other high schools.
The North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools is
the largest of six such associations
in the United States. Two thousand
five hundred and forty (2540) high
schools and two hundred and nine
ty (290) colleges are members of
this association. Its territory takes
in eighteen (1S) states and reaches
from Texas to Canada and Arizona
.tc West Virginia.
At the present time thirty-eight
1881 high schools in Arizona are
fully accredited by the North Cent
raj Association.

Spring Concert Was

The band played six selections
and one duet, "Son of India a
clarinet duet featuring Elsie Will
Jams and Francis Money accomp-
anied by Della Lou Ware.
About one hundred and fifty peo-
pie were present to enjoy this con-
cert, and they received it very en-
Enthusiastically. The two organiza-
tions showed much improvement
both in size and ability, and in
variety of selections over any pre-
vious concert. Mr.. Mccullough is
to be congratulated upon his work
in the music department.
