Readers here is little poem we
came across. We think it is a good
beautitude for the school. Don't
you?
Happy is the school
That is filled with pleasant faces
With minds lighted by the glow of
truth
And hearts kindled by the energy
of love;
Such a school shall be an attraction
Amid all the changes of life,
And a tower of inspiration
From which to see the hills of.
It's power shall be known
In service to human need.
And its glory shall be revealed
In good will among men.

BY average taxpayers, we

a married man.
Let's follow our friend Joe

cult Judge Neil E. Reid.
A $4,000 cash price was
formally okayed by the court

Charles r. Walters, vice.
president and cashier of the
First National Bank, said today

plan for use of the structure but
it is generally understood that
the centrally located building
will. eventually, house the First
National Bank itself. Walters
indicated that more detailed
plans may be available on Tues
day.
