******** * * * *; * * * * Editor in (!hif( H NEWS OF THE SCHOOLS * Assistant Editor * ? Marpar?'t (Gordon * _ ^ TQLD gy STUDENTS ~ * ^ *** I ******** ******* -t It U very interesting ta note some ol tin* unusual percentage* made by the High School classes in different things. The boys in t Me eighth grade, section A. havu the best record for attendance during the first four months of High School. For three months their attendance was ono hundred per cent, not a single boy being absent. The fourth month their attendance was per cent. This is a record which has not been surpassed many times ev en In preceding years. The number of cases of tardiness each month is enormous, more than there should be. The ones that are tardy are not always the ones that live the /"farthest by any means, but often times pupils who live near the school. There were S3 tardies the fourth month. Thut is the most that has been In (/ne single month, still the other mt/nths were bad enough. The eighth grude. section A. has the distinction of having only one tardy during the four months and thr.t was a girl. The -boys in this class must be pretty gornl ones for it is generally the boys who are tar dy the most. Another interesting thing is the way the ages run in the different sections. It is found by comparison that the younger pupils generally take up Latin while the older ones udopt the science course. In the ca?e of the Freshman the pupils in the Latin sections average generally a year younger than the ones In the sconce sections. The Sophomore A and B, the Lat in sections, average a little over a year younger than those in sections C and 1). In Junior A. which is a Latin sec tion. the pupils ages average 15 1-2 yea^s, but in sections B and C, the pupils have an average of 16 2-5 years. Last o*.' all comes the Seniors. Though aP the pupils in the A class do not take Latin, they are the ones who were originally supposed to take It hut who dropped it the last year. Their ages average 17 years, wherein the pupils in the B class have an average of 17 1-2 yearn. These cases are only a few, out of the many Instances, which are good to know as they show each class how they stand in their rela tions to other classes.

We play on the streets, in our yards ! aud most everywhere. My, how our j mothers do scold us because we wear holes in our stockings and get our hands so dirty. Our teacher scolds us too because the marbles roll on the floor and besides she keeps them. To keep them from rolling on the floor we put them in a little bag and Just as soon as we come in from out doors we put them on her desk. We like for her to ? keep them this way for us.

Besides this, it looks very bad from the street and people coming along say that we have very dirty school grounds. If everyone wcruld play in the back of school instead of front, then grass wou'd grow in front. I wish every boy and girl would think about this for we should try to make lawns look as attractive as possible.
