Public school notes highlight exams and activities
In the notes from our public schools, second graders practice as store clerks while others act as customers. Eighth graders took county exams in the seventh and eighth grade rooms as home economics fed lunch to country pupils. Medal winners included Helen Ruth Walhof for typing speed and Alvin Miller for accuracy. Reports cover field trips, a Geta on abolition, a livestock auction, upcoming debates, sports, a county tournament opener, and the high school annual progress.
