Monday .morning marked a
mew epoch in the expansion of
our . high school. During; the
fshort vacation of the' past week
forty-eight fine, - mew," single1
.Beats were installed. Upon the
.arrival of the students Monday
morning a slight delay was ex
perienced in the seating arrang-;
ment, but these difficulties were
ssoon overcome. The principle
difficulty encountered wa3 the'
placing of classes where their1
work would not conflict with
that of .another class. v ,
The Aloha Huber school has
seen lit to disband its ninth grade
iand send five of its pupils to this
school. They will be a welcome
addition to our Freshmen class
.Another high school . student
--comes to as from District 108.
A few more additions and a
sdoubly crowded condition will
doubtless exist, as now we have
one more pupil than seats. . At
present, however, all the avail
able space ini.-the high school
room is used for desk space.
Twelve H.S. students from ad
joining districts are now in at
tendance. .. ,JS

highway, .conceded to be the

and scenie -beauty, in the world,
were very interesting and instruc

" Mr. Lancaster's wide, experi

l struction. : . .
