Columbus Day falls on the 12th of October. On that account the school observed Monday, the 13th brief programs being given.

The pupils of the school purchased on Tuesday 25 thrift and one war savings stamp, making a total of 78 thrift stamps and 8 was savings stamps for the first half of the month.

We were glad to receive two shipments of books on Monday, for several of the high school classes are in need of more texts, and each shipment helps.

The high school program has been changed to make it easier for pupils who formerly recited in three or four subjects in succession. While the change may inconvenience one or two pupils it brings the greatest good to the greatest number.
