The grade school at C.V.S. has taken
on a spirit of competition. In the face
of the high school 11scuttlebutt”, they,
the eighth grade, have started to publish
their own paper, the ”Bonjour” •
The listed objectives of the paper are
to give the grade school news, activities,
poems, ”a bit of French”, serial stories,
and quizes. Grade Eight is putting the
paper out for the enjoyment of the grade
school and the parents of the day students.
It is not generally admitted, but, the
staff of ”Scuttlebutt” has the opinion
that they are trying to run the high school
off the scene as editors of the school

The ” Bon jour” staff' changes with each
issue of the paper and, so far, they have
done'an excellent job. •
