One of these will be to con struct a new Pigville. They have recently laid 1,800 feet of water main. Club organizations are in the process of organ izing, with plans of having at least one and not more than two business sessions a month. These clubs are in nature of hobbies or avocational inter ests. So far, students have been given the oppor tunity to express their choice as to which club they might wish to join. Further progress of the clubs will be reported in a future issue. First Aid classes have organized with Mrs. Busick, of Salem, as the instructor. Girls’ classes are on Wednesday and Thursday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Boys’ classes meet from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. on the same days. These classes are the standard Red Cross First Aid Classes. Each student successfully completing the course will receive a Red Cross certificate. One hundred and sixty-nine new fiction books are available in the library to upper classmen, the Freshmen being limited to older books, due to the great demand for the new ones.

Students have taken a notiecable increase of interest in reading, from figures which show that 200 more books were checked out by both boys and girls this September.
