HIGH SCHOOL NEWS
Bob Hamilton, SHS junior, had an accident in the Monticola class recently. He was sitting at his desk with a typewriter propped up on its arm. Upon rising to get an eraser, the typewriter tipped forward, landing on the floor. He just did not “keep up his end of the deal,” according to Miss Marianne Brown, yearbook adviser.
“Can I bring my kitty cat?” was one of the questions asked in Mr. Tom Dryden’s accelerated biology class when he announced a “show and tell” day. When it appeared that the class would become a menagerie, discussion items were limited to magazine articles.

TO HONOR SERVICE MEN OF SANDPOINT HIGH
A group representing the principal and the senior class of the local high school, the two previous classes and the American legion, selected a bronze memorial tablet, to be funded by balances left by the several classes, to preserve the memory of former instructors and students who served in the world war. The tablet is ample for the present list of 75 names and for any others that may be found before the tablet is ordered. It will arrive next spring and will be placed on an easel in the halls of the present high school, until it is placed permanently in the new building to be built next year.
