SCHOOL NOTES
THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
Frank Wills
The children who were going
to school Tuesday were Boh Lib
by, Leonard Bren wick, Graham
Trim, Janus Trim, Louise A lire
ns, Margaret Ahrens, Verna Wi
11s, Marion Wills, Deanie O’Neill
and Frank Wihs. All the child
ren were glad to get back in the
morning.
After we went to school 'Mrs
Harrais told Bob Libby and Fra
nu Wills to hoist the flag and
Leonard not to let it fall on the
ground. After we put up the
flag Mrs. Harrais and ah the ohi 1
dren came out to salute tin* flag. ;
After we had saluted the flag
we sang “My Country ’Tis Of
Thee”.
We got new books, pencils,
tablets, language readers, arith
metics, ink and a mirror.
Our ideals are to keep clean
our laces and fingers. We are
going to keep our desks and
floor clean. When we get our
faces dirty we must look in tin
glass and see how we look. We
all looked pretty untidy last year
This year the boys are going to
have their hair cut and clean
their feet on the near door mat.

It was the opening of school
today. There are ten children in
school now and they are all glad
to get back to school. We have
two new boys for school this
year. They are Bob Libby and
Graham Trim. Bob is in the
seventh and eighth grades and
Graham is in the first grade.
As soon as all the children
were in their seats, Bob, Frank,
and Leonard went out to hoist
the flag. Leonard held the flag
from touching the ground. After j
they had it fastened to the ropes 1
they called us out, and as the
flag went up we saluted and ,
gave oath of allegiance to the
flag. As soon as we had done
that we sang “America.”
We have new leaders, arith"
metics, library story boohs,
scissors, paints, crayons, and
different things.
We have a new mir ror to
keep ourselves neat by. M rs.
Hanais said that when anybody
lias a dirty face, neck or untidy
hair .she will invite them to go
and look in the mirror. Another
ideal is to keep our school room
neat and clean.
Bob Libby
The op niu" of school Sept
ember 8th is always a jolly day,
for it means the end of a long
and tiresome vacation It feels
good to be in a seat.
In the morning we trooped
in and greeted the teacher. Each
of us had our seats by nine o’clo.
ck. Then we boys raised the flag,
while »t!ie rest saluted. We then
sang our national song. After
we came inside we received our
oooks, pencils, tablets, scissors
and paint boxes.
Our teacher then gave us a
lecture on our .tear’s ideals, neat
ness, and pointing to a new mirr
or remarked “No one can miss
his neck or eat sin that surface.”
They then spoke a piece
worth remembrance, namely:
‘‘Build thee more stately
mansions O my soul,
| As the swift seasons roll!*
Leave thy low vaulted past!
i Let each new temple,
nobler than the rest,
; Shut thee from heaven with
a dome more vast,
; fill thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell
by life’s unresting sea."

Goodbye vacation, hello;
school days! vvt re our thoughts
as we entered our good old sch
! ool house this morning. All the
children were hurrying around
! getting books, buying tablets,
'and discussing the latest news
! at the same tim«. We were all
glad to begin school again and
were in our seats at nine o’clock. |
First we allj*at down; then;
Bob, Frank and Leonard got the
: flag out. Wc all went out in the
yard and took position. While
the flag wei?t up we saluted.
Then we pledged allegiance to
our flag and sang “America.’
After that we got our new
books and materials. There were
new readers, arithmetics, spell
ers, and histories. The eighth
! graders got some new literature
I
i
t
such as Evangeline and Julius
Caesar. We got paints, crayolas,
scissors, and other articles. We
also got a book called “The
Perfect Tribute,” a story about
Lincoln and containing his
famous Gettysburg address and
its effect upon the people.
We have resolved to do thin
gs better than we did last year.
We’re going to get our lessons
better, keep our faces, hands,
finger nails, and clothes clean.
Mrs. Hrrrais talked to us about
“Morals and Manners” and the
boys decided to keep their hair
cut We’ve got a new mirror to
view our faces and necks when
we’ve got a high water mark(
and I’m afraid we’ll wear that
mirror out the first few days
until we get used to washing
thoroughly.
