We are making booklets about dogs with pictures of dogs we have drawn, or cut out of a magazine. There were twenty-five children who masked for the Halloween party last Friday. We had a good time.

with our group again. Seventeen boys and girls have not been absent so far this year. Fifteen boys and girls got one hundred in spelling last week.

giving pictures are taking their place. In Nature .we study using the new World Book Encyclopedia for reference. They give interesting stories and pictures about the subjects we need. We have studied spiders, fleas, and snakes. D. H. S. SENIOR PLAY The seniors have finally decided on the date for their play, “The Phantom Bells,” by Robert St. Clair. It will be presented to the public on Tuesday, November 16, 1943. Everyone should plan to come and see this very interesting mystery. NEW BOOKS Two new sets of World Books, encyclopedias, were purchased by the school this week end. One set of these books was placed in the grade library and one set in the high school library. We’re sure the new books will help us in preparing our lessons. - RATION BOOKS On Wednesday and Thursday of last week, school was dismissed for the purpose of issuing ration book No. 4. There was a total of 1647 books issued. The teachers enjoyed the patrons of the school. D. H. S. NEW TEACHERS Mrs. Natalia Gidley has taken the place of Mrs. Bauman as the Seventh and Eighth grade teacher. She attended

the University of Indiana and Purdue for her degree. She has taught in the Lafayette City schools ahd the Hebron high school. D. H. S. LANDSCAPING SCHOOL GROUNDS Our school grounds are now being “remodeled.” Last summer new cement walks were laid and now there is going to be a lawn on the south side of the building as well as in the front. Black dirt has been used to fill in. Trees and shrubbery have been planted, the hedge is being extended and grass seed has been sown. We hope every student will cooperate and help to make our shool grounds neater and prettier.
