SCHOOLNOTES
(Continued from Page Three)
posters, the work of William Mc
Gowan, represented a schoolboy sa
luting the flag of Good English after
having climber the wall of Bad Eng
lish, this wall being made of bad
grammar and slang bricks.
The higher grades and high school
English classes wrote plays fitting for
the occasion. In these Good English
and his companions invariably defeat
ed and destroyed, or at least put to
flight, their enemies. One of these
plays, written by a pupil of the sev
enth grade, was acted on Friday after
noon by the sixth and seventh grades,
and was a complete success.
During the week those caught using
incorrect English or slang were fined
one cent. This money will be used
in the purchase of a book for the
library.
Original slogans for this movement
were suggested. Some slogans, such
as “Better Speech for Better Ameri
cans,” and “Speak the Language of
Your Flag,” were written on the black
boards at different times.
It is to be hoped that the effects of
♦his movement will last, and help the
pupils to use better English here
after.

Pupils’ Notes
(Leona Churchill, H. S.)
With the rain again conies the call
for slickers ami rubber boots and the
clinking lunch-pail. The rubber boots
are a handicap, However, when try
ing to cross our “Childs Glacier'’ that
extends from the steps of the school
house to the Windsor hotel.
Dear Teachers: The high school
girls do not fail to appreciate your
efforts to make the Episcopal bazaar
a success. We are exceedingly grate
ful for the short lessons you assigned
us this week, that might enable us
to have more time to practice for the
parts were are to take. Without your
help we doubt if we could ever have
succeeded, but we hope you will feel
repaid Friday night when you may
judge whether your kindness has been
• in vain. We hope you will not feel
it has.—Dec. 2.
Little murmurs of Christmas, Santa
Claus, Christmas trees and the big
doll with curls are already in the air,
while Miss Kolbenson devotes her
spare time to reading the various
stories about old St. Nicholas to her
class.
(Elizabeth O’Loughlen, H. S.l
Miss Margaret Foster was hostess
to the “Kill-Kare-Klub” members at
a gay party at her home last Friday
_ "i
evening. Dancing, games and music
were the popular diversions of the
evening, in addition to which some
mysterious tricks were performed by
Rev. Ziegler and Mr. Poster, who
/
proved to be excellent entertainers.
At a late hour a delightful luncheon
was served to the guests, among whom
were Almira McGowan, Katherine
Boyce, Elizabeth O’Loughlen, Sam
Smith, Harry Porter, Everett Moore,
Frank Angerinan, Rev. and Mrs.
Ziegler and Mr. and Mrs. Foster.
A late improvement in the school
house is a Victrola stand and record
case, placed in the commercial room.
A large table for miscellaneous uses
has also been added to the furnish
ings of the room.
A number of the younger school
girls have entered into the doll con
test conducted by the Cordova drug
store. We are all anxious to know
the names of the ten little girls to
whom these dolls will be given.
The bookkeeping class has had
work in connection with the furniture
business and the wholesale grain and
seed business, and is now dedaling in
hardware.
(Mildred Raber, Seventh Grade)
One of the sixth grade boys put on
his paper, “Prince Edward was our
guest. He is prince of Whales.”

(Ophelia Howard, seventh Grade)
All pupils in our school were given
a sample tube of dental tooth paste
this week. Before we could have the
tubes we were asked to sign a pledge
as follows:
“Reminder Card
“Taking ‘Good teeth and good
health’ as my motto, I will try to
care for my teeth daily.”
(Elaine Bollinger, Sixth Grade)
For “Good Speech Week” the pupils
in Grades 6 and 7 had to write a play
about good and bad English. After
all of us had read our plays we voted
to see whose was best, and Ruth Don
ohoe had the most votes, so her play
was given by the pupils on Friday.
Ruth chose the actors and we planned
our costumes and rehearsed the play
all by ourselves, and then gave it at
our reading time. This is the cast of
characters:
Lucile, a schoolgirl....Ophelia Howard
Good English Queen. Genevieve Dyson
Bad English Queen.Celia Friedman
Lucile’s mother.Wilma Claveau

and the use of the
following rules will
wreck any church:
1. Never try to bring anyone to
church. John 1:41.
2. Don’t give to missions, benevo
lences, and see that the pastor’s sal
ary is always behind. 1 Cor. 9:14.
3. Try to run the church. Mark
10:44, 45.
4. If you see anyone willing to
help in the church work, be sure to
find fault and accuse them of being
bold and forward. Ecc. 19:10.
5. Don’t keep the Sabbath holy;
keep it for all your odd jobs, your
business and your amusements. Ex.
20:8-11.
6. Don’t speak to another about
Christ; your pastor should do all that
ikind of work. Jas. 5:20. Don’t speak
to a stranger after services.
7. Insist on your views being
adopted on all questions brought ud
before the church, and don’t give in
for the majority. Matt. 13:12.
8. Don’t join any church society.
Mai. 3:16.
9. When sick, don’t tell your pas
tor; he is supposed to find out him
self. But tell your neighbors how he
neglected you during your illness.
John 11:3.
Don’t be a wrecker; be a builder.
Don’t be a hinderer; be a
helper and attend the
