School Out for Week
Starling on Friday
Old Building Nearly Down
.   and Grading to Start
Very Soon.
Geography; Lesson Given
At Rotary On Thursday
All Businessmen to Meet With Club
This Noon to Talk Over
—     Civic Projects.
Many Activities  Scheduled for Last
Lap of School Year Says
Supt. Kalder.
Saline schools will be closed for one
week; commencing Friday afternoon
with the last class, according to Superintendent A. A. Kalder. The recess
is the annual spring vacation, affording students and teachers alike an
opportunity to revive their interest
in being educated and educating.
During the week a number of
plans have been laid for rehabilitating the school building, which has
seen some hard usage during the past
few months with entertainments,
basketball games; carnivals and exhibitions going on almost nightly, as
well as regular classes in the daytime. Will Dell and his corps of assistants will clean the building; from
top to bottom in preparation for the
final stretch of the school year.
The old building has been leveled
and only a pile of debris stands -where
the old institution was a landmark
for sixty years. The contract of the
wrecker states that the whole bundling must be down by April 1 and it
would appear that such will be the
case, although there is considerable
work to be done in clearing away old
brick and mortar before that time.
When the old building- is entirely
razed work on the grading of the
grounds will commence, says Mr.
Kalder. Nothing can be done until
that is accomplished, however. An
extensive plan of landscaping is being considered which will include the
planting of shrubbery and grass seed
all around the building, and the grading of the plot back of the structure
for a parking ground.
Various other plans have been suggested for the use of the space behind'
the building for athletic and playground purposes with modern appliances, although no dtefinite action "has
been taken. In his speech at the dedication ceremony last December, former siuiperintend'ent Thomas Nurn-
berger stated that the one need of
the school system at present was adequate playground facilities'and that
such should be the next move after
getting the new building.
Following vacation a. program of
•spring sports is to be carried out for
the high school.-Both track and basie
ball teams will be organized this year
says-Mr. Kalder. Ray Shaw and Mr.
Kalder wil carry the burden of coaching the two outfits, with help from
Robert Starring.
Practices for the baseball team
-have already been held in the gymnasium, where the boys have been
wanning up their throwing arms, but
the regular outdoor -program of activity will not be started until after
school reopens. There seems to be
some good material available in both
•lines and much is expected from the
boys during the season.
"CHET" LEONARD INJURED
WHILE CHANGING A THtE
Superintendent A. A. Kalder ha3
charge of the Rotary meeting Thursday which was in the form of a
geography lesson. Mimeographed
examinations were handed out to be
filled in 'by each member. The batting average of the group is reputed
to be -considerably under what the
sixth graders hit regularly.
The members divided up into two-
teams and the number two team defeated number one aggregation by
one point. Both sides seemed) about
equally ignorant. -Some of the questions on the test were "What is thr
second largest island of the Philli-
pine group?" "What large island
does the United States own in the
West Indies. ?" "What is the largest
state east of the Mississippi river?"

NEW SASHLESS "WINDOWS
House windows without sashes and
of plate glass have been developed by
Allie Hulbert of Napoleon who v has
been conferring with outside interests .concerning the possibility of
commerically utilizing his invention.
The windows work "similarly^, to
automobile windows and have the advantages over regulation windows of
giving more light, being sashless, allowing for clearer vision and costing
no more than the other type of
window. '
The glass moves up arid down in
felt runways in the window frame
and a slight touch is all that is
necessary to "move it-up or down. No
inside cords or" weights are used.
