SCHOOL NOTES.
ijy PROF. R. ir. V.-ATSOX.
Mr. and Mrs. Watson and the
class of 190S were highly gratified
at the number of the alumni who
called upon them on New Years
Day.
'From one who was present we
learn thatL. C. Sparks delivered
one of the very best speeches given
at the Junior ; Normal banquet at
Lincoln , , on Dec. 2T.
State Supt. J. L. McBrien sends
bis congratulations on the result
of the election and says that this
move will indbed fit us out well
for the 12th grade and normal
training work.
Mr. Jackson says he believes
Grace Hobson is the best teacher
they ever had in his district but
tie sees that it is impossible for
any teacher to handle both pri
mary and tenth grade work at the
same time.
Mrs. Mabel Merriss and Misses
Ora Hooper and Anna Halm made
us a pleasant call on Jan. 2. They
regretted very much that they
ould not have been present one
day earlier and met many of their
former school-mates.
Cupid played one of his little
} ricks among the high school stu
dents during the holidays and left
us two vacant seats in the high
school room on Monday morning.
While we wish cupid had shot his
darts at other hearts , ' we wish
these young people a pleasant and
lappy life.
Florence Jackson arrived Mon
day morning to claim the seat left-
vacant by Sadie Kector. If Miss
Anderson , from south of Cody , ar
rives this week she may have the
seat left vacant by Charley Clark-
son. If she does not arrive we
will allow some one else to have
; he seat.
As was stated last week the
chool bonds carried by an over
whelming majority. While many
were not able to see how great a
; alamity it would be to have the
jonds defeated , nearly all were
unwilling to see our school take a
jack ward step while the schools
around us are moving forward.
The proposed addition will make
t possible to add at least three
more teachers and still have one
corn left for school books , sup
plies and records. It is not prob
able that more room will be iieed-
e 1 within the next eight < y ten
years.
Most of the alumni of the V. H.
o. who were at home for vacation
lave returned to their work , lluth
and Carrie Stetter and Oliver
