HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL STENOGBAPHY NOTES. INTEREST in the Stenography department in- creases every term. Tbere are now twenty-six pupils in this department and not one can say that he does not thoroughly enjoy every minute of the time spent in this work. Of the members of the class of ' 06 there are four who hold good positions, and two other members are now studying with us. In the advance Phonography class there are seven of our graduates: — Byron Smith, Harold Harrison, Geraldine McNiece, Dow Johnson, Edna Summer, Leslie Lembke, and Andrew Case.- Miss Jones ' s work this year was brought to a sudden close bv her illness. She went south in January to re- cuperate, and she is steadily improving. Miss Imhoff took her place and has certainly done satisfactory work. In the short time she has been with us, she has won a way into the hearts of her pupils and is respected and loved by all of them. As to Miss Jones ' s work, everyone knows what she has done. She was always willing to help us with matters outside of school as well as those pertaining to school work. She was always ready to give us good advice, and shared our joys as well as our sorrows. In the years that are to come we will look back, and the thought of Miss Jones ' s kind words and actions will help us to do what we know is riglit. EDNA SUMMER.
