STHOOI. NOTKS
The High School Senior Clasj is I
attempting something new this year
outside of their regular course, in
that they are taking up debating, j
Debating has always been an inter
esting side light to *iigh f.chool work,
but for some reason or other, it has j
been overlooked in the past year? in i
Nome. However, this year, there i
are promises of a resumption of th’s
work that look very favorable.
Already two debates have been
scheduled for the high school. The
questions to be debated aie: Resolv
ed that “Alaska Shor.id He Divided
Into Two Parts." and “Prance Is
Justified in Her Attitude Toward
Germany in Regard to the Paymert
1 of the Reparations.”
Last year Physics was again
taught in the High School. Much of !
the equipment has been broken or j
lost. Parts that were missing or be-1
yond repair were sent for last sum
mer so that now we have nearly as
complete a laboratory as in forme**!
Monday the first magazines ar- j
, rived overland for the school lib-,
rary. The school subscribes this
year for the following: Popular Set-1

' Pathfinder. Literary Digest and
Current Events.
During the past few weeks some
very interesting experiments nave
been worked out In the laboratory
ir both the General Science and
Physics c! ibst f.
Due to the inconvenience of the
| typewriters in the office on the
j reading table they have been moved
; mto the next room. A new table was
I Installed on which to place the type
writers. the plan was brought up
| by Mr. Rynning and has proved to
j he very successful.
i The school library has been ar
ranged conveniently, and books of
I various descriptions are obtainable,
j They may bo taken out providing
! they have been signed np for, and
' will be returned in due time. Inter
I es*!ag and spgtructive magazines are
! also available which are used fra
1 qaentty and greatly enjoyed by the
<t udents.
The highest Eighth Grade average
was made this past month by Walter
Cavey and the highest Seventh
Grade average by Helen Burnell.
Out of the 28 students in the
First. Second and Third Grade
room, 18 have neither been absent
nor tardy this month. This is the
best average that they have had yet.
