NEW EQUIPMENT FOR OFFICE
The carpenters from the mainten¬ance shop hsve been at work building a new book shelf and storage cabinet on the west wail of the office. The book shelf will be used to hold alhavee hooks used in the office and also the new ones that publishers send uswallm time to time. In the cabinet will be placed the material used in the office, such as enrollment cards, assignment cards and other record. This promises to be a good addition to our office equipment and a great labor saver.
SECTION 7.7 MAKES
PRESENTATION
Last week during our assembly pe-riod, Edna Yacobian, in behalf of sec-tion 7.7 presented to Mr. Thompson two p7-7ed palms to grace the new cabinet that has recently been built in the office on the west wall. L7-7 year nearly every section in school made a useful presentation to the school. We hope that 7.7 has set a preced ent this year which the other classes will see fit to follow.
Roberta Barnett wins Prize
Cheschool-s glad to anno7-7e that Roberta Barnett 's essay on,"TheTeech in Relation to the General Health," which was chosen to represent Cher¬okee at Miami won first prize which was $5. Cherokon,"TheTeethto have a student who can do so well.

The tfifteChristmas-ils grades as follows: seven¬th grade, 184 pupils; eighth grade, 164 pupils; ninth grade, 142 pupils, making a total cf 490. The average daily at¬tendance during the month was 450; this means that 94% of all the pupils enrolled attended school every day during last month. The number of girls was 3o per cent greater than the boys; there being almost a full section more of girls than boys.
ATTENTIONmonth-YBODY
The annual meeting of the Florida Educatioal Association will be held in Orlando on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. While the meet¬ings will not be held in Cherokee, the building will be open for inspection, since this is one of the most modern and up-to-date junior high schools in the state of Florida. We wish to make a plea to the students and teach¬ers to leave their rooms as clean and attractive as possible on leaving next Wednesday, so that we will make a favorable impression on the visiting teachers from all parts of the state.

A DIALOGUE
"Goodness, I, have to take all of my books home this afternoon."
"So do I, that horrid Bobby Jones who sits right behind me insisted on tapping lightly on his desk all during study period, and it worried me so that I could not get my mind on my work.
"I did succeed in getting my math during study period today but as I was going through the corridors someone bumped against me so hard, that I drop ped my paper. Before I could pick it up, it had been trampled on by a dozen people."
"Such people who always interfere with the right of others are not generally liked, are they?"
No, nobody admires them or even thinks them smart. they only get themselves in had with the entire school. were these students talking about you?

JACK KLINE HAS A
BIRTHDAY PARTY
Jack Kline has had a birthday—and a party! And such a party as you
have never seen! You see, it was giv¬en to him by Student Council, and that organization has a way of doing things to perfection. So, of course, Jack Kline's birthday could not be passed by lightly. He was successfully trans-ported to Olivia Park under the camo¬flage of a weiner roast. Imagine Jack's surprise when he found out `twas all for him. Imagine his eyes growing round with wonder when a big brown frosted birthday cake was brought forth. But the wonder grew when he tried to cut the cake, for somehow it prooved too much of a struggle for Jack's delicate physique. After tug¬ging determinedly for a while, Jack grew snspicious. He scraped off the luscious looking icing and found—a wooden cake! Then, 'tis said, that Howard Davis made a grab for some of the icing, and discovered it was soap suds flavored with chocolate. After a good laugh at the joke, the Council brough forth a real birthday cake, and Jack's birthday was celedrated in an honest-to-goodnese way.

AN INDIAN LEGEND (Written Mr-the meter of Hiawatha by Lawson Cox, sectionMr-5.) Once three fair Indian maidens, Daughters of Chief Watosa, Wandered from their tribal village, Wandered far into the fores:.
So 7-5-)wandered, gathering flowers, Laughing gaily as they wandered, Miles away from their dominion, All unheeding of the disforest.
Suddenly from behind a boulder Rushed three hears, huge. ferocious, While with screams loud and piercing Fled the maidens with their flowers.
Then the maidens swiftly fleeing Saw a rock before them towering. Quickly climbed they to its summit; But the bears climbed, never pausing.
In despair the maidens halted,
Watched the bears come ever closer, Fell upon their knees in terror,
And t he spirits heard them pleading t'
When the bears neared the summit, Then the spirits showed t•wir power—Made the rocks swell, grow hher Till they towered o'er the tree tops.
Then the three bears in their climbing Weaker grew, their ever weaker, Till exhausted by their struggle Fell they on the rocks beneath them
So the maids with great rejoicing Made long ropes from their flowers. Holding to them, reached earth safely, Hastened to their tribal village.
