is only symbolic. Hut to them, that

Mr. Otto Boettcher, of the class

interesting talk to his former school
mates at the High School Friday

subject of preparation for college,
and the openings for students in the
various deparments of A. and M.

those students to stand who ex
pected to go to college next year

talk the vote was again taken and

expressed among the lliith School
boys and many felt that they had
gaiuid a clearer concept. on of what
to work for in their lilnlr school
course, and r, wider knowledge of
the Held of vocational education.
The principal or the High School

from the men, of the town and of
other towns who are connected with
