Saturday, April 24.
The election of Student Body
officers for the coming year fail
ed to fulfill its promise of an ex
citing campaign. Nominations
Monday afternoon resulted in
Harry Lewis, Ann Walsh, and
Vesta Poison being unanimously
elected for the offices of Presi
dent, vice-president, and treasur
er, respectively. In the election
of the remaining officers, hald
Friday afternoon, Charles Lewis
was elected Business Manager,
Mary Hood Chapman, secretary,
and Lincoln Ost. Sargeant-at
arms, by overwhelming odds.
Just contrast this to last year's
turbulent politics: the building
was plastered with campaign
signs; closed meetings for the sup
porters of the two candidates
were held; campaign speeches
promised more parties, more com
mittees.more everything; the bat
tle finally resolved itself into a
war between the boys and the
girls, the feminine slogan being
“Down with masculine tyranny,”
while the boys shouted “Down
with petticoat rule.” And this
year—the president unanimously
elected, with no otheT nominee.
Verily, I think old N. H. S. is los
ing its pep!
The game last night between the
High School and the Nome Team
ended with a 26-18 defeat for the
High School. The game was
cleanly played. At the end of
first half the score was 9-18 in
Nome’s favor, but in the second
half the High School speeded up,
forced the going, and at one time
succeeded in tying the score, but
King and O’Leary broke loose to
secure a final lead of 8 points.
With the end of the six-weeks,
the High School has exceeded
even its usual studiousness. The
typewriters were seeing hard us
age, as back work was made up
at break-neck speed, and text
books showed evidence of exten
sive study for the much-loved
six-weeks tests.
A medicine-cabinet and an end
table for the teacher's room have
been constructed by the Manual
Training boys. A rather over
grown dust pan made for the jan
itor was an interesting piece of
tin work. A table for the Home
Ec. room is being refinished. Fri
day afternoon the boys took a
written test dealing with the
kinds and uses of tools, types of
wood and suitable uses of each,
etc.
The Home-Making Girls are
working out booklets showing
their ideals in a home. Material
gathered from women’s maga
zines is being put into booklet
form, and some very attractive
ones are under way.
GRADE NEWS

and the others have toy money to
spend at the circus. It must be
lots of fun.
