BEING snowbound must have given
a number of grammar school grad
uates an opportunity of considering fe
riuusly a continuance of their educa
tions in ii.feii .-.IkoI, for Uiioa the rc
suriipt'on of school Monday the at
tendance was materially increased.
From present indications a conserva
tive estimate of the total enrollment at
Jefferson for the Spring: term will be
180.
The three days' forced vacation has
delayed the usual hurry on the pert of
tho organizations to elect new officers
for the present term. In many in
stances the staffs are depleted by (grad
uation and must accordingly be failed.
This is especially noticeable in the fire
squid, wiivr three new battalion chiefs
have bun appointed. The chief and
assistant chlet remain intact.
The present staff, which is intent
uiKin repeating its feat of last term and
retaining the cup. Is composed of Wil
bur Carl, chief: Carl Appelgren. n
sisinm chief John Kennedy, chief first
battalion: Kenneth Hastings, second
battalion chief: Ioyd Carter, third bat
talion chief, and Mae Ilrfcwn, fourth
battalion chief.

colors and the question was taken up
with the girls, who were in favor o
the movement. After some time de

girls came to the conclusion that they;
wanted burnt orange and green, while
the boys wanted burnt orange and

team has taken a rest during the last
two weeks. Due to. the weather con

the .schedule has not been arranged,
due to the fact that Benson Tech has
to play when there is a vacancy on the
schedule card of the league. This Is
due to the fact that Benson was taken
into the Interscholastic League after
the official schedule was made up.
