The SHS Ski Club is planning a ski fair Nov. 18. There will be a ski swap, fashion show, ski movies and a drawing for a Schweitzer season ticket.
Selling carmeled (sic) apples will be another money-raising project by the Sophomores. There is a work night Wednesday at the home of Bev Wright to make the apples. Involved are Janet Snedden, Judy Moon, Patricia Davis, Lea Sammons and Hanna Munson.
The study of U.S. government at SHS has a new dimension. About 220 seniors study the Sandpoint News-Bulletin each Thursday, its day of publication. Merle Parsley teaches five classes, Terry Iverson, three, and Dick Curtis, one. Richard Frymire, a Clark Fork man, is student-teaching in Iverson’s room.
Mr. Leroy Anderson’s commercial art class is working on skills of lettering ancient manuscripts. The students first find a saying from the Bible and then they freehand letter it in old English or Gothic letters, illuminating the first letter of the paragraphs.
Miss Marianne Brown’s sophomore classes are working on short stories, vocabulary and spelling.

Pend d’Oreille Review
Oct. 31, 1921 – CITY BREVITIES
Dr. O.F. Page removed Peter Johnson’s tonsils Monday at City hospital.
H.S. Remer, “Dad” Hartman and O.L. Peavey are back from a week’s hunting on the far side of the Granite creek divide. Game was abundant, but the weather was so miserable they didn’t get in much time afield and so got “only wet and back.”
The state rural school supervisor visited some of the county schools with County Supt. Mrs. Tuck. Among those visited was the Thornton school, near Hope, where 40 pupils attend in crowded conditions.

NIMRODS GET BIG BEAR
On Sunday, Chas. Tigglebeck, county engineer, George Buchanan and Wm. Keller went to upper Lightning creek on a hunting expedition and brought home the carcass of a 450-pound black bear, one of the biggest bears killed in this section for some time. “It almost broke my back to help Buck and Charley lug that bear out,” said Keller. “I haven’t been able to wear a necktie since, my shoulders are so sore.”
