SCHOOL NOTES
Among events of common in- |
terest to all during the past week
are: Monday morning on the ar
rival of the biology class at school,
a great calamity had occurred
over the week-end. After a month
or more expectantly awaiting the
produce of our garden plots, zero
weather did succeed in vir'ually,
destroying their vitality. Percy's
bean plant and one of Walter's I
tomato plants were sole survi
vors. The real reason for Percy's
undernourished plant not freez
ing is merely that it did not have !
sufficient strength to shrivel up j
and die. Already a new crop is
in the process of being planted.
Tuesday the high school city elec
tion took place producing exactly
the same results as of the city
election, although keen competi
tion was evident between the two
candidates for school board mem
ber. Nels S'rand rceeived one vote
more than the other opponent, j
