No More Midyear Examina
tions For Students at
High School
Miss Edna Bowers was elected sec
retary of the senior class.
Professor Clarence Zorger will have
charge of the cheer leader applicants
this year. Many members of the two
upper classes have applied for these
offices.
Advertising will not be permitted
in the Argus, the school paper, this
year because of orders issued by thu
school board. This will reduce the
funds of the paper very inUterlally
and It will be issued only every two
months instead of every month as in
previous years. The price will be
the same, due to the" "high cost ot
paper, labor, etc."
Principal Dibble announced that
many midyear examinations will be
omitted this year, due to the con-
Jested condition existing in school.
It is practically impossible to stage
examinations for every student In
