Junior High Notes At the opening of school September 1923, twenty-four pupils wen- enrolled in the Junior High room. Three of these left us but others were enrolled, keeping the average about the same throughout the year. We did our bit in the morning exercises, the carnival and in the pro- grams for Parent-Teachers Association meetings. Marked improvement has been made in penmanship and we hope that some will be able to secure Palmer diplomas next year. The seventh grade made some very unique health posters as a project in hygiene. Hilda Zabel shows unusual ability in drawing. The eighth grade did intensive work in History, Civics, Current Topics and Agriculture. They wrote some very good essays. On the whole we can report a very successful year. MISS J. WINSLOW (Reporter).

During the third week we were initiated, bought all the green rib- bon in town and fell into line behind the Sophs. The evening of February 1, we went for a sleigh ride and were entertained at the Watson Sisters’ home. A very good time was enjoyed by all. Two of the Freshman girls played on the basket ball first team, Elsie Strobel as jumping center and Laverne Doerr as running center. Rhea Watson and Ernestine Ling played on the second team.

Intermediate Room Notes The boys and girls of the intermediate room have tried to make this year one of the most successful years they have had. Our first good time was the Hallowe’en party. We all came dressed up as ghosts or witches, and played many games. Between the Holowe’en party and Christmas the room had many spelling matches, and tests in different subjects. On Christmas we had a program and invited our parents to hear it. Afterwards we had a lunch and went home for a vacation. About a month after our vacation we had some seats taken out so as to have more room. We bought a phonograph to march and exer- cise by. The parents enjoyed our exercises at the Parent-Teachers’ meeting and the children of our room have enjoyed the phonograph very much. With these enjoyments our school work has been interesting this year. MARY ELEANOR SHELTRAW.
