ing the eighth grade examinations

108 out of applicants in Douglas'
county were successful and will have
diplomas issued to them. Of these.
98 of the pupils wrote on physiology

June class to take examinations, over
preceding classes, and compares very
favorably with other years. Owing
to the fact that no student is allowed
to draw money from tho county high
school fund without an eighth grade
diploma, a greater number are en
couraged to complete the work in
the grades and enter the high school.
The following pupils of the Suth
orlin schools were successful In the
examinations: Elsie M. Klawisch,
Minnie O. Hlnkie, Linnie R. Hinkle,
Edna Ralston, Elslo It. Henderson.
