English tenth grade books arrived, priced at $1.25, with 90 pages advance for early study and a Monday deadline for ownership. A three-shelf wire basket for sophomores to seniors arrived, the graduating class to be small with five girls this year and about fifteen in 1919. The tenth graders begin Persian wars after finishing Greece, Ruthven students start Greece again, and a Hawkeye theatre showing is planned for October 17. A nurse’s note covers Miss Mable Anderson’s tonsil and adenoids removal and six-week test makeup opportunities.
