HONOR ROLL.
The honor roll for the last six
weeks was larger than that of ' the
first six weeks. There were less in
completes, but a larger 'number of
failures than in the first six weeks,
states Mr. Johnson.
In regard to this, Mr, Johnson be
neves that the failures and incom
pletes are due to the failure of male
ing proper preparations for daily as
signments, and not enough home
study.
"In this regard," Mr. Johnson said,
"I urge the parents to insist that
the home study receive much more
attention than heretofore. In plan
ning for the home study each pupil
should have a definite schedule to
follow. It is also a poor policy for
any students to be loitering about
the streets on week nights, and the
parents are again urged to help in
this matter. Cooperation spells suc
cess in any school system."
The honor roll for this six weeks
is: first honor roll, no grades below
A, Mary White; second honor roll,
with three A's and one B, Fletcher
Walker; third honor roll with two
A's and two B's, Margaret Notson,
Mary Beamer, Evelyn Swindig and
Katherine Bisbee; fourth honor roll
with one A and three B's, Kenneth
Oviatt; fifth honor roll with four B's,
Letha Hiatt, Harriet Morgan and No
lan Turner.

Endorsement
THERE COMES a time in almost
every man's life when it will mean
a good deal to him to have the rec
ommendation or endorsement of a
good bank.
IF HE IS FAVORABLY KNOWN
at the bank, he has a distinct advant
age over the man who is not.
YOUR REPUTATION is what you
have made it through years of hon

meet your obligations promptly.
