Price 5 Cents High School News Of General Interest This week the freshmen are going through their annual tor ture of initiation. All freshies are required to wear a green bib. Miss Connell is also being initiat ed by wearing a bib. No fresh men are to be seen in front of the building, so they are making good use of the back doors.

This seems to worry the boys a great deal. Friday, will be dress up day for the be ginners. Friday night will end the initiation with more stunts and a dance. —o— Miss Connell had try outs for a Girls Glee club Monday after noon. The purpose was to find out the range of each girls voice for part singing. —o— Boys physical education class will take up speedball when the weather is favorable.
