NEWS OF THE SCHOOLS ? AS TOLD BY STUDENTS ? ******* * Editor in C.hirf Margaret Gordon * * * * * * * ? * Assistant Editor * * * * Annie Miller Seeley * * * tai TO WHOM IT MAY ?'ON?'KllX There have come to my ears many comments concerning two of the editorials published by the editor of the Advance, criticising the news of the school pupils. 1 do not think that the editor was actuated by a wrong motive in doing this; but Just by a wish to urge the reporters to do their best. You know, as well as I do, that this criticism was well deserved, for you do not do your best. I think that the ones rtho write do fine, for Ju?t remember that many ot the articles that are published are writ te by pupils who are in the Gram mar School, from the fourth grade cm"up through the seventh. You needn't expect these to be finished writers. It is not only the older people who criticise us, but many of the pupils do It. also. This is a wrong thing for the pupils to do, for in tfead of saying what the news should consist of and how different ly it should have been written, they j should write something themselves, . thus showing the others what inter esting news may consist of. Many of the sjocial incidents which , happen every day. ft written, would ! make fine news which would be en- ! Joyed by everyone. Furthermore, there should be a| whole page of news each week from | the school. The Grammar School,! as I have already said, are doing , fine, but it is the reporters from the! High School that should get on the 1 Job tfnd get off sorme good material j each week. Do not be discouraged if the arti-i cle you write fails to get published. This may be for several reasons: j not well gotten up, not enough room, or not suitable for School I News. You should try Just that much harder. I wish that whenever the teachers! have an InterestinK composition or j story they would hand it in. This' would help us out right much. Let every one try to do his part; [ for I cannot do it all and neither J can any other single one, then I ' think and then only, we will have a] School News that no one will be ' able to say a word against, but will be very eager to see Saturday come in order to read an enjoyable ' page. GOOD BASKETBALL PRACTICE GOES ON | By Klgiu Wliito The series of games of basket ball between the different teams of this school has start (.-(I. We are practic-| ing every day.

GIKLS' GLEE CLUB HAS BEEN DISBANDED By Mildred Dozlrr The Girl's Glee Club has disband ' ed. because those who Joined would i not come out to practice. The rea son for this was that many had to practice basket ball in the after-* noons when they announced the Glee Club practice. This was no fault of our capable' leaders. Miss Sykes and Miss Spear man. who did all they could to make; 1 it a success. Doth took much in terest in it. ordering enough music! , for all the girls in the Glee Club. ! Now this is left on their hands, be-, . lug unable to return it to the pub lishers. * There will be another Glee Club | when there is a demand for it, and : the girls decide that they will come j out to every practice they can, for jit is impossible to have a Glee Club1 I without working continually at it.

THE SNOWSTORM By Margant Simpson The snow, the snow, oh! you beauti ful snow: Where do you come from and where do you go? You dance so merrily orver hill and i dale But whither thou feoest none can i tell. The snow is falling oh! so fast, j Aud beats upon the window glass; ! The children stand at the window j and peep: Only wishing the snow would fall knee deep. Some ure glad tcr see the snow. While others ure very sad you know; To see boys and girls out at play: I On this snowy winter's glorious day. Oh! how pretty is the snow drift As the wind sweeps up the rifts; It covers the trees and covers the ground As it falls silently without a sound. The snow is falling from the sky And it drifts in piles so high. How 1 wish that I could play With the little snow flakes gay. I, A SXOWY I)AY By Julia Skinner . The air is filled with snow flakes, Fluttering from the sky, As Mother Goose drops her feathers From the geese on high. Tlje sun hid her smiling face, Hehlnd the cloud so gray, The children dance and sing with glee, To see a Hiiowy day. The trees and bushes look like! ^ gllOStS, In flowing robes of white. And scare the people passing by, In the silent night. Hut soon tho snow will melt away, And sink into the ground, Then comes the spring and summer, And so the year goes round.
