THE OIQATO Page 31 THE SENIORS' GENEROSITY One of the most severe shocks that the student body ever got was when Mr. Smith announced be- fore assembly the official notice that Oconto High Eviipld not put a foot ball team on the g-rldiron this a . The possibility of this happening again next year is reduced to a minimum by the Seniors pay- ing outl of their treasurv the sum of 8179.75 that was incurred by foot-ball teams of the past. Reporter-Enterprise ........................ 322.75 Aimory Rent .........A....,,..,..,..-,,-.. 61,00 Church House Rent ........................ 96.00 The Seniors in doing this are rendering one of the best services possible to the school. Probably some work of alt would be a means whereby the class would longer be remembered but as the class was desirous of living up to their motto Service they thought that an act of this kind would be of more service to the school at this time than any thing else. All classes, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will get the benefft of this because it will allow the good old game of football to be played once again under the loyal blue and old gold banners. PROFITABLE YEAR FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION Since physical education was lntroaluceld into Oconto schools fur the first time this year. it has been interesting to note neactions regarding it. The sum-total of opinions 'has been strongtly for it. nl- way-1. Buys and girls feel that they lnxve had a most profitalhlc year guetting new niusel-es in-to play. learning new grunes. and lgettino' into a hetter spirit of fellowship. During the first and last of the school year. it Was W2l1'lll enough out-livie to have claw cs on the schorl grounds: otherwise f'..ey were held in the :yin a block from the school. In the out-ol'-doors, deep-lrieatliing and exercise made more re.'l-lwlooded pupils: in the gym. new apparatus got new muscles intf: condition and got old muscles into 'better con- nlitlon. 'l'here were few II'Ilgl'lllll'S all year. because at the moist only four or five people were slij.:'ltly lllll'l -amd many were benefited. I Physical education is on the ass-et side hy fl unanimous student vote! Community Community School Day proved to be the great- est success of the school year. Not only' was it the greatest success of this year, but for many years. Never before in the history of the Oconto Public Schools have they received the co-operation that was given on May lst. Approximately 2,000 people were present at the Armory. In the ast years, various means have been used to exhibit the work of the schools. Exhibits have been held in the individual buildings, and ac- tual class room teaching has been observed. There were ilisailvantaeros in lxoth systems-people having children in more than one building often found it ixmlpossible to see the work of all children. The ho ding of all exhibits at the Armory relieved this situation. Parents not only saw the work of one particular building, but of the accomplishments of the schools as a whole. The Armory was divided into booths-each booth displaying the work of a particular school. These booths were artistically decorated in the col- ors of the schools which the' represented. Test papers, essays, individual projects, and class proj- ects were displayeld. The work proved to be of the highest type and a credit to the' school system. The work of each grade or depalrtmcnt was judged and a prize was awarded to the hoy and To the girl Whose work received the highest merit. The piize-7 were generously donateal hy the husiness men of the City. Miss Eva Vansistene, a first grade critic of 1lwhk,osh Normal School. and Miss lqllpn lg, Mcllonald acted as jiidrzes. ' The following: program plrovezl of unusual inter- est to clvery one: Afternoon Program 1. Style Show hy Freslnnen Girls' tllrainatizedl. 2. lli-eh School Onchestra. Ji.

The selections by the High School Urchcstlra, an-d hy the Elk's Band wlere very muclh enjoyed.

This ln-oueht out what per cent of a dollar is spent on thc schools. lt was the concensus of opinion that Community School Day was n marked success. The Type of woirk shown. and the interc-1 d'ispliaye.d lend weight to the aneument to make the affair an annual event.
