Itwas at this meeting that the Board awardedcontracts for the construction of the new Vocational Education Building. The contracts asawarded amount to about $85,000. This includes only the construction of the buildingand not the equipment and other incidentalswhich will probably bring the total to about$110,000.The general contract was awarded to theBedford Stone and Construction Company ofIndianapolis.

We have still to see the studentwho will omit a party, dance, or movie feature on that plea. Be honest with yourself,and if you love yourself, treat yourself to a lecture on Monday evening. All we ask of you isto come once, and if that is not sufficient tomake you regular in attendance we are neitherprophets nor the sons of prophets.Have you ever taken time to notice a certainclass of people in attendance at this school, whoseemingly take a pride in never knowing anything about the different school activities, the
