W - ____ I Pauline Wuertele.. j CIOSING OF EVENTFUL TERM OF HIGH SCHOOL Advanced work in all lines lias been taken up so that, the standard for graduation now is much higher than I it was. The scholars have united in the formation of a student body and have organized' debating teams', ath ; letic teams and published a High SchooJ Magazine. These latter, while not pre i scribed high school work, are of vast jbenefi^for the scholar. The pupil who gives his time only to school instruc | tion is but half taught. The excellence of the students in forensic and athletic | contests with other schools has this j year been most pleaingly demontrated. The Winnemucea debating team de feated the Keno high school debating team and the local basket ball team gave the Elko young ladies a terrible drubbing after the latter had defeated the Heno high school. From an editorial standpoint thu "Sage Brush Echoes,” the high selioo* publication, compares favorably with the exchanges from most of the, school* , j in tin* west. j Credit for the bringing up of the ! standard in this manner is due to tti j instructors of the high school, and mve particularly to Prof. x. A. Brandon, principal of the high school, and Miss 1. A. Thompson, assistant principal, and I Miss Bell, teacher of the eighth gradtn ■ Their efforts have been devoted not. only to the mental training of the pu j l»ils in text book work, but also to the development of athletic prowess and tin* promotion of a spirit of love b? \ the pupils fur the school" Small wonder is it then that with unusually bright pupils to work with that instruction of this sort should make of the Winnemucea high school the foremost institution of its kind in the State.
