High School Notes.

• The last week of the first semester will end with next week. The examinations will be held Wednesday, Thursday and Friday^Jan. 12, 13 and 14. The six weeks examinations will be held the first of the week. Mr. Wass announces that the local basketball team will meet the Remington squad here Friday night at 8 o'clock. The sophomore English classes have finished reading Sir Walter Scott's “Ivanhoe.” It has not yet been decided what they will take up next. Collateral reading will begin in the German department with the beginning of the second semester. The freshman English classes have started reading Cooper’s “The Deerslayer.” Much interest is evidenced in this story. Reports in collateral reading in English are very popular at present. This department requires 30 points a year. The Chdos staff met Monday evening with Mr. Knight M. Stemler representing the Canton Engraving Co. Mr. Stemler has a very fine proposition and a contract will probably be drawn up with him, although no action was taken at that time. The Chaos staff met again Wednesday evening and discussed plans for raising money to finance the book. It was decided to have a carnival in the high school building some time in February'. A committee composed of Miss Shedd, Robert Reeve and Robert Loy will assume entire responsibility and French Crooks will handle the business part of it. It was also decided to sell sandwiches at the basketball games, the first experiment being tried Friday night. It is hoped that the public will co-operate with the school in thebe plans so that the problem of finances will be a minor one in the production of this year's Chaos.
