l fhe VVhizzer, Coburg, Oregon-You have a very nice little monthly, considering the size of your school. Your Liter- ary department is good, but the paper is ruined by so many silly Squibbs. Judging from the contents itThe Kisserli would be a much more appropriate name. We are also in receipt of the December llCardinalli L. H. Se The contents are good, but it seems too small for such a large school. ltThe News? Eugene, Oregon, is one of our regular exchang- es. An occasional cut would add greatly to the attractiveness of the paper. ilThe Whirlwind? Albany High School. An excellent paper throughout. One of our best exchanges. The February llCardiualii contains some good stories, espe- cially KiThe Triumph of Labor? Which is above the average. The Lincoln quintette is also very funny. liThe Umpquaf Roseburg High School, is an excellent paper abounding in good cuts throughout. The bum cover demgu and poor paper used ruin the attractiveness of the annual.

Toast to the Senior Girls. Herels to those that love me, Herels to those who donlt; A tear for those that do, A frown for those who went. tThe girls know whOJ The girls all wear rats to school From September until May; I wonder what the Prof. would do If the rats should get away ?-A. J. F913. I saw Miss Thomson in the hall- I saw her hat and that was all.aE. H.313. My name is Wilbur Reetzu Folks say Pm rather tall; And every time I try to rtm, They say they fear llll fall.-E. H.314. H There was a young teacher in Junction He went to Eugene to each function-e One morning at school He was indeed very cruel, Hannah should have been filled with compunction. K. S. 85 I. C. Freshmen all try to help the school, Ready to work, and not, to rule, Eager to learn and willing to work, Still stepping along and will not shirk; Hesitating never to do what they may, Making fun of all who try to play, Each trying to make up the study they lack, Never taking chances of going back.-W. 5.314.

GRADE DEPARTM EN'T. A description of the Junction City High School would be incomplete without the grade department, for much of the suc-- i cess of the high school is dependent on the kind of foundation laid in the elementary courses. Realizing that many of our pupils will never get beyond this department, the aim of the Board has always been to make it the best. None but experienced teachers are employed. Last year the interior of the Central school building was re- modeled, the two upstairs rooms. being divided into three class ' rooms, thus giving eight grade rooms including the three rooms on the lower floor of the Washburn building. , Realizing the importance of accuracy and thoroughness in preparation, the aim has been to hold pupils in each grade until they are well qualified before passing them on. With one grade in each room and- classes ranging from twenty-three to thirty- five to each teacher we believe that pupils from any department will Compare favorably with those from any other school in the state. Daily supervision is maintained, the aim being to have the essentials presented in such order as to develop each sub- ject in its logical sequence. A greater per centsof our eighth grade graduates have enterh ed the high school than is reported in any other school in the valley. Twenty-two out of the tw'enty-four of last year,s class entered High School last fall while the other two intend to take up advanced work during the coming year. The Grade Teachers. The teachers in this department are, with the exception of the fourth grade, the same corps as that of last year. The whole teaching force last year being re-employed, but as Mr. Baker, principal of the high school, accepted the positiOn of principal of the Creswell schools, his wife, 3.: teacher of the fourth grade re- s1gned also. The Board chose as her successor, M'iss Lucile Roe, who came well recommended as a teacher from Minnesota. She has fnlfilled our expectations as teacher in this grade. The whole teaching force in the grades as it now stands has been re-em- ployed for the coming year as follows: Eighth grade, Maude Mlckey: seventh grade, Mae Tracer; sixth grade, Edith Ors- well; fifth grade, Ethel Shupe; fourth grade, Lucile Roe; third grade, Mary B. Underwood; second grade, Mabel Hays; first grade, Maude Hays. i
