Schocjl Notes
(Contributed.)
After a week's vacation, when the
principal and corps of teachers at
tended the session of the institute at
Pendleton for the first three days,
spending the last three in Thanksgiv
ing vacation, school activities have
begun with renewed interest.
The High school took the Standard
Courtis "13" test Monday morning
without a winner. Thelma Kretzer
and Enid Cartano made best records
with credits of 28 correct answers in
thnee minutes.
'vThe present line-up for the first
tealu in basket ball is: Robert Ko
privaSand Herman Geissel, forwards;
Leon Kretzer, center; Claud Snider
and Dorvan Phillips, guards.
Joyce Johnston, who recently ar
rived with her parents from Metolius,
Oregon, is a new student in the High
school.
As announced in Miss Nason's re
port at the institute last week, Asa
Arbogast of the sixth grade in the
Athena school bears the clistinction
of being the first and only scnodl atu
dent in Umatilla county to be grant
ed the Home Reading certificate by
the county librarian. In order to be
entitled to receive this certificate, ten
books must be read and a written re
port made on each book.
Leroy Johnston is a new student,
having enrolled in the eighth grade.
His brother, Ray, is in the fifth
grade.
A Christmas program is in course
of preparation to be gvien on the af
ternoon of Wednesday. Christmas
Eve, in the school auditorium. All
the grades, from first to eighth, will
participate.
Honor roll, third and fourth grades
Mary Berlin, Hollis Dennis, Ches
ter Dugger, Gertrude Eaton, Areta

Emma Ringel, Maxine Thompson,
Merritt Cook, Dorothy Geissel, Helen
Hansell, George Pambrun, Kathleen
Radtke, Thena Russell, Doris Schu
bert, Merle Thompson, Annie Messenger.
With the enrollment of Geneva
Staggs in the third grade this week,
the enrollment of the third and
fourth grade room reaches 45.
Great interest in the better health
movement is being taken by the pu
pils of the lower grades. Captains
of divisions are appointed in the dif
ferent rooms, and it is the office of
these captains to maintain strict ob
servance of health and cleanliness
rules. It is gratifying "to note the
earnestness with which the leaders
enforce the rules, and the improve
ment in personal appearance of the
little folks. The move is the direct
result of the recent visit of the coun
ty health nurse to the schools, and
will doubtless bear good results.
With the enrollment of Glen Barton
into the first grade this week, the
enrollment of the primary room has
been raised to 38.
Leonore Reeder and Beryl Taylor
were operated on last week for the
removal of adenoids and tonsils, but
arc not yet well enough to return to
school.
A game of basket ball between the
respective teams of Athena and Helix
high schools is announced for Friday
evening, December 12, in the local
court.
