The total for thia year 685. The highest enrollment for high school, according to records for the entire year, waa 237. This makes a present report of one under the grand total and ten over the total in high school. So much for our registration re port. We do understand, however, that there are a few high school stu dents coming in a little later. We are very pleased with the continued spirit and the increasing desire and pur pose of students, teachers, and par- enta to make this school year a very progressive and beneficial one. The detailed organizations of the high school are beginning to function in order.

Coach Hartley has a foot ball report on another page of thia issue. Mr. Osika is preparing to meet and advise with alt high school boys. Mr. Cunning is getting ready for the County Fair and is very busy with stock judging teams and displays. It is a policy of the administration that every building have a fire drill once a week. Another policy of the administration is to do away with night practices for sll school setivities. Chester L. Ward, Superintendent.
