J., visited the school on Thursday. He delivered a very teresting and instructive address during the assembly period of the igh school. The subject of his ad- dress was: “Why You Should Finish "High School.” His seven reasons \ were as follows: ~ 1. Happiness Reason. There is a ‘pride and joy in a completed task. 2. Social Reason. ‘diploma is your passport to the homes ‘of educated and refined people. 3. Appreciation Reason. Your arents and teachers have labored ‘hard that you might receive an edu- cation. ° 2 sid, - Character Reason. You despise a quitter. Don’t we one. You can’t “afford to stor, short of your goal. 5. Rivairy Reason. Keep ahead of the o owd. 0 i Economy Reason. Every day ‘spent in school is worth $9.25 to you in increased future earnings. Your diploma is worth $33,000. 7. Professional = Reason.

Lake Township CALVIN J. McHOSE, Supt. —i0i— A drama, entitled “He’s My Pal,” was presented by the Senior Class of Lake Township High School last night in the high school auditorium. The class wished very much to pre- sent the drama April 12 but due to the death of the mother of one of the We last night.
