HIGH SCHOOL
Today is the firty-fifth anni
versary of the first successful air
plane flight. It wa son Dec. 17,
1903, when Wilbur and Orville
Wright made thirty miles an hour
over a lonely spot in North Caro
lina called Kitty Hawk. It was not
until 1905, that they learned to
avoid a “tail spin” when making
short turns. The invention was
not appreciated at home until after
its success abroad.
We are sorry that two of our
popular students, Glenn Mazen
and Joanne Wells, left on the PA A
last Wednesday for the States.
They will be greatly missed and
our best wishes go with them on
their journey and future school
work.

Christmas present from her par

brother. Erick, who is a student at
Pullman State College.
A very successful high school
Christmas party was held yester
day evening. After an interesting
program of amusements, a deli
cious lunch was served.
We are all looking forward to
the Community Christmas Tree
program commencing tonight at
eight o'clock. A large Christmas
tree that has been improved by
drilling holes and inserting of
branches will be a great attrac
tion.
