This N That About Senior High
All incompletes had to be made
up by last Monday. OF course, there
was the last mad scramble to get
tests made up and long overdue
papers in.
Thursday morning there was a
short meeting Of the Senior High
in the study hall. Two new and
very good rules were given to us
about the use of the gym; and, you
must now have a very good excuse
If you have been absent or some
times unavoidably detained along
the way. Absences are quite fire.
quent about this time Of the year
you know.
The seniors are going toward
their big moment in their lives,
and the activity centering around
them is now more noticeable than
ever. They held a meeting this
week, and decided on their an
nouncements. From all reports the
voting was very close and the deci-
sions hard to make. Beginning on
Thursday they began trying on
caps and gowns, which will be
rented for one seventy-five. They
have decided to wear their caps
and gowns for both Baccalaureate
and Commencement this year. A
special committee has been ap-
pointed to pick out a motto, class
flower, and class colors which will
be put up for the seniors approval.
Mrs. Harris is now hard at work
trying to decide on a class play,
but she is in great need of more
people to go out for it.

Junior
For the past week we have used
books which were used last year
in geometry. They are a great
deal different than our own. When
a geometry student of last year
was asked to work a problem on
proportions for one of the students
he was rather ashamed of himself
to realize he had forgotten how
to do them. We are having a test
on theorems of proportions, con-
