The painters are painting the play-shed at the small
girls’ building.
The new electric line for the electric sterilizer at the
hospital is about completed.
Grain for re-seeding the crops injured by the frost
is being cleaned for planting.
The carpenters are gaining some valuable experience
in roof construction these days They have learned to
stick to a wet roof and that is no small accomplish
ment.
The Superintendent of Industries wishes to an
nounce that where boys find their detail changed it is
for their own good, as information concerning an
allied subject is sure to be of value to you later on.
Plans are in preparation for an outside bath and
toilet at Mitchell Hall to be erected by our own me
chanics some time this summer. When this work is
completed it will add materially to the available space
at Mitchell Hall and will greatly improve the sanitary
condition of the building.
Work has started on the enlargement of the surgery
at the hospital. The plumbers are removing piping
and fixtures and they will be followed by the masons,
who will remove a brick partition wall, and they in
turn will give way to the painters who will finish all
in white enamel. This work will enlarge the surgery
and give a great deal more light and room than was pos
sible before.
Scout Kendall Northrup and Scout Aaron Sookum
were appointed Troop Scribes.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES
Be economical with everything. Why? This is
Thrift week.
We have been trying to be thrifty in our department.
One way we have discovered is to keep a budget. That
is, we plan how our money should be spent before we
actually spend it. In this way we can check back over
our accounts and find where our money can be of most
use.
The ninth grade served a dinner made up of foods
suitable for children. We invited eight little Hawley
Hall girls to help eat the dinner. They were quiet
during the meal but before they went home became
very talkative. A change like this adds interest to
our work and gives practical experience.
The sixth grade served a very nice meal to the bas
ketball players from Washington Highschool.
Last week Agnes Kennedy made the best looking
cake that has been made this year. Those who were
fortunate enough to taste it said it was as good as it
looked.
This is our last week here so we will bid you fare
well and make way for the eighth grade.
As ever,
T he H appy J uniors .
JUNIOR NOTES
Mrs. Whelan told us a good bear story last week
during assembly. Everybody seemed to be interested,
even the small boys and girls.
Jacob Atkins, former captain of company B, is now
taking charge of company A. Edward Trust has
charge of company B at present.
William McMaster and Orsen George are trying out
for track. We hope to see our “dark horse” McMas
ter in action again in the inter-class track meet this
spring.
Robert Fielder, one of our prominent Juniors, is ill
at the hospital. Several of our boys have been sick
this year, and we haven’t had full attendance in school
for a while.
Last Sunday the commissioned officers of the boys’
battalion drilled company C in the gym after chapel.
Then after the drill Mr. Bent called them over for
eats. This Sunday the officers will have to set ’em up
