MANY IMPROVEMENTS SEEN AT R. H.S. This fall, upon entering the school building, we found quite a few changes. On going up- stairs, we saw our excuse to get a drink of water go fluttering out the window, since a new wa- ter fountain had been installed in the hallway; and when lunch tine came we saw a lot of shiny faces in line. We wondered why, and after inquiring we found that hot water pipes had been connected in both restrooms. When the third and fourth graders went into their room their eyes shone with amazement and excitement. They had been the lucky ones to receive a third of the series of new desks that are being installed in the various rooms of the building. On entering the office, we found that a new ditto machine had been installed. This ma- chine helps the teachers make many copies of tests in just a few moments. Early in the fall Mr. Lyman purchased several dressers with large mirrors, to be put in both restrooms. In these are kept supplies. He also purchased several large desks for use in various rooms throughout the school building. One day, while coming out the front door, several of the kids were shot--no, not by a gun, but by Mr. Lyman, who was armed with a flash camera, which in its own right is just as deadly. One day Mr. Lyman set up the screen and the recently purchased slide projector. He showed us the pictures he had taken and we were quite surprised with the results.

He is now the clerk of our board of administration. Mr. Paulus, treasurer of the board, was bom and raised in this town, except for four years which he spent in Montana.
