Colnmliiis Elgii Sctioul Classes Organize.
The organization of the Colum
bus High School was, perfected
one afternoon this week when
the "respective classes met and
elected their officers.
There are three classes repre
sented in the school, viz: the 1st
year class, VIII. grade, with 27
members. Elected Otho Head,
pres, Ethel Jackson, vice-pres.,
Edgar Newman,' secy. The class
selected as its motto, "Semper
fldelis," and as its colors, laven
der and yellow.
The 2nd year class or IX.grade
with 12 members, elected Roon
Arledge, pres., Lizzie Page, vice
pres.. and Cora Ld wards, secy.
Class colors, old gold and black,
arid the motto, "Labor omnia
vincit."
Myrtle Hampton was elected
president of the Junior class, or
X. grade, with William Cunning
ham, vice-pres., and Blanche
Newman, secy. This classj-has
eight members. Colors, yellow
and black;, class motto,' 'Lav ertus
est la simile noblisse." ,
There are now more students
enrolled in the high school de
partment than at any time last
year. But the school has by no
means reached its limit, and we
trust that those who have not yet
seen what we have to offer free
of charge will do so early. Con
tinuous delay on your part means
educational death.
