School Notes
Preparedness.
Be prepared to contribute as liber
ally as your means will allow to the
Cordova public school library fund.
You will find plenty of boys and girls
on Saturday and Sunday who will be
only too glad to receive your contri
butions and tie a tag in your button
hole. —Billy Field, sixth grade.

Flag Contest.
The different rooms in the school
are having a contest to see which
room can raise enough money first to
buy a flag. Each room will have a
flag for its own. The flag will be a
woolen one, because it wears longer
than a silk one, and will not fade
like cotton does. Each flag will prob
ably cost ten to twelve dollars. If
any money remains after the flags are
purchased we will spend it for library
books.
The money which was earned by
the sale of the mattress cover will
help buy one of the flags. According
to a statement made by Don Bollin
ger this money, which amounts to
two dollars, will go in with the eighth
grade and high school collection.
The pupils have been asked to buy
a little less candy and chewing gum
for a while and perhaps give the price
of admission to an occasional show
and contribute the money thus saved
to purchase a flag for each room.
Yesterday the various rooms had col
lected the following amounts for the
week:
First and second grades.$5.80
Third, fourth and fifth grades... 5.60
Sixth and seventh grades. 4.50
Eighth and high school. 8.00
We hope to have sufficient money
by the end of the week.
—Brooke Lamprey.

The third and fourth grades held a
very enjoyable language lesBon. The
children impersonated mice, brownies
and fairies. The fifth grade became
so interested that they forgot to study
their geography lesson. The follow
ing are some of the best stories:
A Brownie's Story—Naomi Robinson,
Third Grade.
One night 1 was up in a coat-hanger.
I saw two mice in the hall on the floor.
One was a great big mouse with a tail
about a foot long. He had a reddish
colored coat, with green eyes. The
little mouse was timid. He had a soft,
brown-colored coat, pink ears, and
kind eyes. He looked very cute in
deed. After awhile the little mouse
heard something like this: “r-r-r-r-r-r.”
“What is that horrible noise I hear?
I will teach that clock not to make
that terrible noise again, said the
big mouse. “I will run up his face and
slap him so hard that he won’t make
that noise again.” So the big mouse
ran up the old clock’s face. The old
clock was as angry as could be. So
he started the terrible, terrible, noise
again—“r-r-r-r-r-." As soon as the
mouse got up there, down to the floor
he ran and was soon away to his
home. Never in his life did he go
near that hall clock again. When
he reached home, he was running so
fast that he knocked his mother down
and just then the old cat came in and
ate them both up. That was the last
of them. At this time the little mouse
was in bed, with the door locked. And
that was the last I saw of the clock
and the two mice.
An Old Clock—Jessie Graham, Fourth
Grade.
Once I was in a great hall. I saw
two mice. One was small and the
other was a large one. Well, the little
one looked so funny that I laughed
out loud. I think that it frightened
him, but I do not know. The big
mouse said, “It is the old clock tick
ing.” The Wle one said, "I am afraid
let us be (Mng home.” But the big
mouse waB^hot afraid. "Just see m«
run over tfe old clock’s face,” Yes
he ran rig^jt over my face. I did noi
like it, and | struck r-r-r-r-r one.” Thai
mouse never came back that night
A .Clock Elizabeth. Foster—Fourth
|Fourth Grade.
It was *ry etill in the hall. There
was no soilpd but my ticking. Sud
denly I a** two mice. There was a
small one And a big one. The little
one had Might little eyes and pink
ears and a *oft brown coat. The big
mouse wa* *11 puffed up. I heard the
little mousB say, “What is that noise
that I heaf, I am afraid. Let us gc
home.” Then the big mouse said, “1
am not afr®td. Just see me run right
over that old clock’s face.” I did not
like it, so I struck “One.” The big
mouse ran down and never came near
me again.

This week we have had two fire
drills. Fire drills should be held at
least twice a month, but we have
missed some this year on account of
inclement weather. Certain boys have
been appointed to open the doors,
others to get the fire hose, etc. The
teachers superintend the children
getting out of the building and back
again. A little more practice and Cor
dova will be proud of the quiet, ord
erly way in which the pupils conduct
these drills, even though there is
always more or less excitement con
nected with a drill.

The four rooms of the Cordova

monthly report cards.

Owing to the good weather that has
prevailed the past week the school
flag has been hoiBted regularly.
Last week was the second succes- i
sive week that Miss Johnson’s room ,
had no absences nor tardies, and on !
Friday they obtained their fortieth
star, which should have given them a
quarter holiday, but they have agreed
to postpone it until the next Friday,
when the high school will also be able
to enjoy a quarter holiday.
Those making an average above
ninety for the past week in sixth
grade arithmetic are Celia FTeidman,
Ophelia Howard, William Fields and
Helen Downing.
A game of “tag” is on! Be sure to
wear a “tag” at the dance tonight or
else be well supplied with quarters,
for the high school girls are going to
be there and see to it that everyone
is properly decorated with the Cor
dova public school “tag.”
