Principal F T Deci deemed It a pleasure to welcome all the stu- donts this year, especially all the new members who, he feels, that within but a short time will find the student body and the faculty most friendly and helpful. He announced that the high school classes would organize to the following schedule, each meet ing being held in the music room at 4-00 o'clock on the appointed days: The. Seniors were to organ ize on Wednesday, the Juniors on Thursday, the Sophomores on Fri day, and the Freshmen on the fol lowing Monday.

How do^f go about it?” According to Milton O. Loysen Executive Director of the Division of Placement and Unemployment Insurance, this query is received many times a day by the Division's headquarters, despite the fact that the Unemployment Insurance Law is explicit on the subject. \There is nothing complex about the procedure involved in filing an application to cease to be subject to the Unemployment Insurance Law,” said Mr. Loysen. “If, in the entire calendar year, an employer does not employ four or more perspns on each of fifteen or more days, he is eligible to ask to be dropped from our lists. Thi3 application must be filed with the Division between January 1 and March 31 of the year following that in which he did\ not employ four or more persons for the statu tory period. The Division supplies the ap propriate forms, and if the em ployed is correct in his statements, he is released from coverage as of January 1 of the year in which the application is~filed,\ continued Mr. -Loysen. \Employers should bear jn mind, however, that if they fail to file their application with in the statutory \period—January ■Wtfarch—31—they continue—liable-] and must make contributions on all wages paid during that year, even though they have fewer than four employees on fhsir payroll. They can, of course, file a new ap plication between January 1 and 'Karch 31 of the next y«ar.
