Lethbridge Aces vs Magrath Hi School - ¡CHOOL NEWS Kitty, Kitty, KittyI On Wednesday, November 23, a strange visitor o'ame to the Gradé 10 Heme Economics class. ' It vas small, thin and gray, and took the shrpe of a poorly-fod‘ tabby kitten. As it did its best to feed ttsdlf from the food on the tables, the girl's took turns putting'it cut. It persisted in dashing in unobserved every time the door was open a crack, Finally, after a great many des­perate attempts to keep tho poc'r feline in the hall, two of the girls gave it a small amount of salmon on a saucer and hoped for peace’. But no J that was! not to be, for suddenly, the door opened from the out­side and the kitten, this time bearing a large broto paper tag secured to its back with a strip of orange crepe prpor, was dumped in« It was quickly secured by Miss Helen Low who read the following, aloud: "Please give me some milk or grub," The tag was quickly reversed, and on the other- side the giitls wrote, "I'vé juet had some salmon," and prepared to take it to the shop, from whence it had so recently come. But, to our surprise the culprits were awaiting 'us outside the door. With a laugh they accepted it and left, 'When school was dismissed at four o'clock, the kitten was peacefully sleeping in the hall garbage can, and the tag, which was tied to the doorknob, read, "I ambontent," FLASH. — WATCH EXPLODES Early Friday morning .an_explosion rocked the school as classes started. When the smoke had cleared away and the first two periods had passed, Charlie Lloyd's watch lay in ruine. The process of disintegration began either late in the first period or early in the second. During the early stages of the disease it is believed that the patient was under Charlie's care, but it soon became the property of Dari Turner. In h$s expert hands, and with the able assistance of Mary Margaret1 Ririe, Blanche Wyman and Company, the dismembering process was soon complete. The watch is now a total wreck, and in spite of the efforts of the finest watchmakers of the Eligh School, it is fearod that it will never run again. We shall all- miss its loud and- cheery tick.
