Fair Oaks School Notes.

The new school building will soon be ready for the roof. Arrangements are already being made for dedication exercises in thd spring. It is possible that State Superintendent Ellis or State High School Inspector Williams will deliver the dedicatory address. The high school record was misplaced, but has been found so that a better classification of the high school pupils could be made at the opening of the second semester. James McKay has enrolled in junior English and Commercial Geography and dropped second year Latin and English with the sophomores. Paul Barker has enrolled in Commercial Geography. Attempts are being made to save time for many of the sophomores who are well advanced in years so that their course may be shortened at least a semester. Several of the second year high schpoi boys are eighteen and better. ~‘~- Carl Smith and Herbert Rude each kept clean “Interest and Deportment” pages last month and also secured a few per cent merits to open, the next month. Carrol Burroughs was exempt in all subjects last month. His name was omitted last week. The first music lesson of the second semester, was given last Friday.
