SCHOOL IN THE CHURCHES. , On account of the Toulon Township High School not being finished from the ruins done by the fire, we had to go to school in the churches. The Toulon High School students and faculty appreciated the fact that we could attend school there this fall instead of having to go to school next spring in the school building. The farmers appreciated it very much be- cause they need the boys to help with the spring work. Mr. McCullough's classes were the only classes, however, that were handicapped to any extent because they did not have any laboratory in which to do experiments. But they could take field trips on which they studied nature. It was a little hard to write because we had no desks. We had to carry our books to and from the churches because there was no place to leave them. We had to go from church to church to our different classes, but at that, it was a great advantage. We went to -school in the churches from September 19 to October 29. On October 31 we started school in the school building, using Miss Co9ley's room as a study hall, for the study hall was not yet completed. We can hardly express how much we appreciated the kindness the church people showed in permitting us to use the churches for school. We are sure that we did no damage tothe churches. We were very careful and we are sure you will agree with us. ' , I Ralph Gerard.

December, Nineteen Twenty-Seven 5 CHEWING GUM. The same old worn-out rule-has been made again this year. No gum chewing is allowed in the school building between 8 a. m. and 4 p. m. This rule was posted on the door at the north entrance so everyone would see it. It was put there for two reasons. It was put there to re- mind. those that have gum in their mouths to get rid of it before they en- ter the building. It was put there for those that are not chewing gum as well. They are to warn those that are chewing gum and help them out. Some people have the habit of never reading a sign or anything that will warn them. Some people get in trouble for not obeying the stop sig- nal. They also get in trouble for not obeying this gum chewing rule. They have to write a five hundred word theme, which is not a pleasant thing to do. When they are chewing gum, they are not only disobe-ying one of the school laws but they are also showing ill-manners. So if you want to show good manners, don't chew gum. e 4 y If you see anyone chewing gum, feel as though it is your duty to tell them that they are doing an ill-mannered thing and also disobeying a school law. 1 - .
