FAIR OAKS SCHOOL NOTES.

December 10, 1920. The Intermediate room has already been decorated forthe holidays, in such a pleasing way that we all are in the habit of going to the door to peep in and be cheered up a bit. Those having perfect deportment last month, in the Intermediate room were Essie Stahl, Helen Barger, Helen Abell, Harvey Warne, Virginia Campbell, Alice Swanson, Verah Warne, Florence Barger, Louise Cedarwall and Helen Erwin. The following were banner pupils ’ in' spelling: Helen Barger, Ruby Winslpw, Luella Netzell, Alice Swanson, Florence Barger, Edward Stahl, Louise Cedarwall, Howard Rude and Helen Erwin, > There seems tp be more books being read in the grade rooms this year than during - any previous year. We seem to be having too much r tardiness in the primary room and the High School, this seemingly due either to a misunderstanding as to time of beginning or, Jo clocks at home being too slow. School starts at 8:30 Standard Time. > • The next number of our Lyceum course, The Liberty Duo, is due Dec. 16. We are expecting a large crowd at this program as this number is sure to be a good one and the girls are going to serve oysters and other refreshments, after the program. “Mutt”! (in deep; and serious study)—“Will some one please tell me the square root of one?” Did you know—-That, Tip is getting very little sleep these nights; that, Ruby is. an artistic gum Viewer; that, we should all be dreadfully frightened if Millie should suddenly become as noisy as some people we know; that, the Wheatfield boys nearly captured Miss Hanson, think-, ing she was Freshman girl; that? we are all glad £o see the splendid ; school spirit that prevails in the school? * . , . • The basketball team journeyed to Remington last Friday night and were handed a lacing by that qnin- • tet; b*ing 27 to 12.
