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. Maybe it
is because of the hefty looking
paddles they see the seniors car
rying. Probably the hardest rule
for the freshie boys to keep is to
eat lunch at noon with a fresh
man girl. 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.

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.

Boys physical education class
will take up speedball when the

boys have turned out to practice
