The dedication ibf the high school service flag, which was to have been held Wednesday afternoon, was postponed until Friday afternoon. count of health conditions in Remington it was deemed inadvisable to have a public dedication, so only the high school pupils and faculty will be present at the. memorial services.

Basket Ball.—AdditaonaJ games are scheduled with Kentland, Goodiand, Earl Park and Brookston. Miss Gertrude Besse, who has been, ill for the past week, -was able to return to her work. - • Miss Hazel B. Gray substituted in the first grade Monday and Tuesday during the absence of Mass Lena Williamson. Miss Shand has taken up her residence at Henry Walker’s. :: Miss Lambert is rooming at the home of Miss Pearl Baxter. The girls’ basket ball team held its first practice Monday night. They weYe ably coached by Miss Kolb. The eighth grade giris also have a team. An attempt was made ,by some “well-meaning” citizen to have the basket ball games and practice declared a nuisance. Now that the war te over, some people find it difficult to rest easy. Try to help the boys instead of hindering them. Remember that you, tob, were young once. The- association has rented the second floor of the Townsend building and are moving iheir besket bal leqUipment from the Morin building to their new quarters. Teacher:-—Well, Louise, how many newly acquired words have you added to ybUr vocabulary? Louise Three. Teacher:—-Let's hear them. Louise:—Wait a minute. I’d! have to get my note book. Bob Stoudt visited school Tuesday. One of our restless Sophomores 'has .been assigned a front Seat this week. The decorations in the assembly room still retain memories of Miss Bonham. Patriotism is all right, but we would like to have a change of bunting once a year. All the Sophs., Juniors and Seniors were invited to English 7X class Monday. Some of them discovered that there were some things about pronunciation that they dad not know. Some classes are rather slam this week. Can any one explain why Tom, Jake, Charley and Lloyd seem to have lost al linterest in recesses? The “Argus” this week Was edited by .Cornelius Dexter. “Dexter” means right in Latin, so we think that Cornelius is “right” there as an editor, even though the reference to him did a ‘tyarn.” „
