Typhoon Bess hitting Sagada this morning caused the suspension of classes today. There had been light continuous rain during the night, which became very heavy before 8:00 am, when schoolwork was supposed to start. Winds were light and caused little damage in Sagada.
The Council of Advice first meeting of the year was held on Tuesday, November 11th. Present were Bishop Wilner, Fr. Diman, Fr. Longid, Mrs. Diman, Miss Tomlin, Mr. Yodong, Mr. Piluden and Mr. Norton. Fr. Pekas was invited to attend in place of Fr. Masferre. Fr. Diman’s financial report showed a large deficit, chiefly due to Boy’s Dormitory and school fees not being paid. Among resolutions passed to meet their situation were these two:
Dormitory students beginning with January 1953 are not to be allowed to remain in the dormitory unless their fees have been paid on or before the first day of the month. (For January 1953, the first school day after the holidays is January 6th.)
School tuition fees must also be paid on or before the first day of the month. Students whose fees have not been paid will not be permitted to attend class.
The third faculty meeting of 1952-1953 will be held at Mr. Norton’s residence on Monday, November 17th. (This was wrongly announced for the 10th in the 1st issue of the Postboy.)
Four pigs are being fed in the pleasant yard between the basketball court and Mr. Tade’s cottage. Scraps from the Boys’ Dorm are used so no expense for food are involved. L. Mangusan, the well-liked senior student of the Boys’ Dorm is in charge. Across the path on unused rocky land of the Dormitory gardens, a small hen house and chicken yard is being built. The boys will start with one cock and four hens. With Lucien’s moderate and efficient management, the Dorm boys are living happily and peacefully and considering themselves as brothers. (Leonard Aclop, Chairman of Section 11B)

Agusto Cunning writes from Fort William McKinley, Rizal. "We have just finished infantry training and started real artillery training... it is very hard and needs geometry, physics, etc. We mountaineers are not behind, we are even ahead of others.
