Investigate Meat
Lockers For City,
Creamery Board Voted To
Ascertain Sentiment of
Prospective Locker Renters

Pressed by prospective renters to
investigate, the board of directors
of the Sauk Lake Cooperative
Creamery Association voted at the
last meeting to find how much fav-
orable sentiment there is regard
ing the installation of meat lock-
ers, it was announced, by Secre-
,, tary George Strauss.
1t was carefully explained, the
secretary said, that the board took
no direct action to install meat
storage lockers, but since "the di-
rectors had been approached so Of
ten and sentiment semed to be
getting strongly in favor of the
move, the directors agreed to start
signing those in favor of the sys-
tenn"
Anyone interested from eth
er the city or the rural sec
tiOns, he said, in seeing a meat
storage system installed should
see either the directors or the
management at the creamery.
Signatures of those in favor of
the plan or those who wish to
rent a locker will be received.
Because of quite large invest
ment," he said, I'VE would have to
have start with not less than
$50 lockers rented"
Only preliminary action to find
an expression of sentiment has
been taken by the directors, it was
said, and unless sentiment does
strongly favor the proposal, it will
be dropped Immediately. It was
explained that only through sign
ers can the board gain a picture
of how large a group does favor
the plan.

Moving Day
For School
Students
Monday Saw Trek To
Senior High Building
Recently Completed
STUDY CHANGES
Modified Home Room
System Will Be
Employed, Said Principal

It was moving day Monday and
one Of the biggest concerted treks
this city has seen, for about 225
senior high school pupils and their
teachers settled down to perman-
ent quarters in the revamped SEN
ior high building.
1t had been moving day once be-
fore when in December of last year
students evacuated the building in
just such a wholesale exodus and
preliminary work began on the
buildings 125-foot ride to the north
west corner of the lot.
To the students it looked like a
picnic then; and Monday when
classes so far as book learning was
concerned were virtually suspend
ed, it took a similar flavor. Teach
ers generally regarded the moves
as headaches, but welcomed relief
from the strain of temporary set
ups.
1t was a big time moving
job, but classes dispersed to aid
and over two hundred pairs of
hands that lugged books, chairs,
tables, and equipment soon
brought semblance to order and
school was underway in the
classroOms.
While the building isn't definite
ly equipped, it was announced that
the building is suitably finished to
house classes. Lockers for book
storage and personal effects of the
students will be installed in the
halls, other minor competitions will
be attended.
Worst phase Of the moving day
activities was the sudden turn OF
cold weather that broke too quick
ly to allow adequate steam up from
the cold, new boiler units. Unable
to care for the load in the first
hours, the senior high building was
without heat for the morning. So
students and teachers welcomed
the moving about settling class.

no avail. The bereaved family has
the sympathy Of the entire COM

Edgar Priest Memorial Organ
Dedicated at Cathedral

Paying tribute to the late organist,
Edgar Priest, as "a man who
devoted his life to the ministry of
music" the Right Rev. James E.

Pointing out Mr.. Priest was
accustomed to open each choir re-

man said an organist's position in
church services approaches that of
a clergyman, and Mr.. Priests rever-
ence should serve as an example for
his successors at the console.
