BT MILDRED WEEKS.
FTTHE "di.yllght'saving" device., that of
JL beginning school at 8 and closing
at 12:30. has been installed and Is
meeting with success. At first some
students found it was difficult to get
up o early, but alarm clocks are now
regulated and everyone seems well sat
isfied with the experiment. It is a
long time between breakfast and lunch,
but a whole afternoon, a regular half
holiday Is the reward for hungry pangs.
A petition for the single session or
iginated with the pupils and teachers
of the school, and the matter has been
under discussion in school and has
been pending with the School Board for
some time. The snnouncement of the
decision of the Board was made by
Principal Herdman, In ' assembly,
Wednesday. The single session will
undoubtedly not be continued during
the Winter months unless new action
is taken on the matter, if this trial
proves successful.

Wednesday morning. It was marked
by three unusual features, the pres
ence of the students from Stephens'
Annex, the awarding of medals for .
track and field work, and the singing
of the class song by the members of
June, '18. The song was sung to the
tune of "Perfect Day." "Auld Lang
Syne" was sung as the'June. '16. final
farewell. The track medals were pre
sented by Mr. Hardman. and were
awarded the point winners In the re
cent interscholastic meet. There were
three types of medals, gold, silver and
bronze, end they were given according

which otherwise might Te given over
to the Rose Festival to school work
and review before examinations.
