What everybody has been waiting
for and expecting came quite unex-
pectedly Wednesday, February /,
when snow vacation was declared.
All roads were piled high with drifts
resulting from Wednesdays blizzard,
making it impossible for the buses
to make their routes for the remainder
of the week.
The photographers on the annual
staff are busy taking pictures of the
seniors. The pictures this year are
being taken informally and pertain
to some activity in which the pupil
has participated.
After a months vacation the girls
glee club has resumed practices.
This year the spring music festival
is to be held at Pine City April %,
with schools from the entire district
participating. An instructive and en-
Pertaining program for both partici-
pants and audience has been planned.
The school will enter both inStru-
mental and vocal groups, with COM
petent critics acting as directors of
the massed groups.
An order has been placed for $110
worth of new library books. Each
teacher selected a number of books
pertaining to his or her own field, and
in addition, several fiction books for
recreational reading were included.
1t is hoped that these books will
arrive soon so that the students will
have the opportunity to become &C
quainted with more up-to-date litera-
ture.
Friday evening the scheduled game
with Willow River was called off at
their request as some of their play
ers were unable to get in to town
for the game on account of the snow
storm. Negotiations are under way
for another date for these two teams
to meet. This Friday the Askov
boys meet McGrath on their floor.

While thumbing through the first
furry of seed catalogues recently, !
came upon selection of IL best an
nuals for cut flowers which appealed
to me. Of course, it's hazardous to
say that any group of flowers is
"beSt." Such a statement. always
invites argument. However, the ques-
ton of suitable ANIMALS for cutting
is common one which is a little
puzzling to answer off-hand, so 1 pass
on this list with the suggestion that
those of you who grow ANIMALS pri-
marily for cutting use it as the base
from which to add or subtract.
The selection follows: Aster, Vick's

PLANTING A TREE
By Alfred NoyeS

BY Alfred NoyeS
Plant here, for other eyes, that king
ly tree
Whose reign we shall not see.
Choose well the spot, that other eyes
may bless
It's natural loneliness.
Let them not guess what loving pains
we took,
Or how we paused to look
From every knoll, and every van
tage ground
In all the landscape round,
That one invisible tree one day should
Its place upon the hill,
Give to our vanished thought its
perfect form,
And stand against the storm,
Playing its own true part when we
are gone,
For you, my little son.

for the relief of hardship and des-
