Since the recent epidemic of colds
Is about over, all pupils are back in
school, except Emma Broylea.
KMing Is Here.
The birds are singing merrily
As across the sky they sail;
Soft white clouds float airily.
And one another seem to hall.
Flowers peep from field and hedge
Children Joyously shout and sing
Green bushes appear on hill and
ledge
And birdies shout " TIs here! Oh,
Spring!"
Peggy Peek, fiih grade
A Sunny Day Of Spring
Oh, Look! See there, a daffodil,
And there a crocus and narcissus,
too,
And see, up by the mill
A plot of violetB blue.
And do you not hear that sweet
song,
Of those Robins so gay?
Oh, they fear not of any wrong
On this warm and sunny day.
I.oree Caldwell, t'.tli grade.
The seventh grade English class
had an Interesting lesson Tuesday,
when each member wrote and read
his or her life history. For short
histories, their lives have been unite
full of events.
"Tulips" and "Dutch Children"
are much In evidence In our school
room. We are trying to bring about
spring weather as fast aB possible.
The eighth grade English class
has been writing telegrams, night
letters, and advertisements as part
of their English work this week. We
have had difficulty in confining our
VUtl to a few words.
I'art of each boys' school equip

BASEBALL
Talk about enthusiasm! Say, you
ought to see "Our High School
lioys" when it comes to baseball.
Each one has a mit bulging from his
pocket They are going into it
heavy this year. Let's get behind
them and help 'em out.
The first game of the season is
going to be played at Arlington
March 30. Come and Bee what B.
H. S. boys can do.
After this week there will only
be forty-five school days left. This
includes closing week, so there will
only be about forty days left for
drill on text book work. The teach
ers are all working hard to round
up the year's work and want the
pupils at school every day possible.
Sickness is the only legal excuse
and we trust that patrons will think
twice before keeping children out
for any other reason. The summing
UP of the year's work and the con
stant drill and review is what
counts and makes for thorough
work.. You want your children to
be as thorough as others and1 if
their seats are vacant, what can
the teachers do?
