The Cameron student body showed strong spirit as a circus visit prompted a parade and a school holiday for the remainder of the day. The event reflected a festive atmosphere and collective participation.
Formation delayed the parade until 12 30 P M while pupils carried on as usual. Two percent of the high school could not withstand the pressure of the dog and pony show and left school at morning recess. The piece urges sympathy and urges proper authorities to excuse students with real reasons. It notes freshmen could urge seniors to drop childish behavior.
The eleventh grade studies Canterbury Tales but faces a shortage of copies. The board of education proposes annual student gifts of 50 cents per pupil to fund history reference books parallel readings and supplementary readers, boosting the library by about one hundred dollars yearly.
The passage notes well cared for books will grow into a valuable public library asset over a few years. It reports two hundred high school pupils and payment rates by grade: eighth 81 percent, ninth 87 percent, tenth 78 percent, eleventh 84 percent.

The school’s rival classes push hard to keep pace.
