GRAMMAR SCHOOL NOTESThe seventh and eighth grades of the Elko Grammar School gave a very attractive Holtove'en party last Friday evening In the form of a mas-querade. Some of the boys and girls came in costumes suggestive of the holiday celebrated while others were costumed after anything the mind might fancy. Nearly all characters were so well sustained that the identity tv.is concealed until time for unmasking. The merry frolic continued from the time the grand march was led by Prof. Welday and Miss Hansel until all adjourned to the gymnasium for the dainty refreshments that were prepared by the pupils. The gym was tastefully decorated with Hallowe'en ornaments and looked weired and spooky indeed, Braza Dubois. Laura Hunt. Dorothy Haigh. Jessie Stinson and Kathleen Stewart of the slith grade assisted In serving. One of the most pleasing features of the evening was the presence of so many parents and friends.

A great deal of extra work is necessary on the part of the teachers to help pupils make up back work. Hence the importance of having them enter at the beginning of the year and remain in school until It closes.There are now 151 of our pupils enrolled in the Junior Auxiliary of the American Red Cross here.
