INTERESTING SCHOOL NOTES

ganized in October has proven the most de-
cided failure of any undertaking OF the past
years. This organization was first sug-
gested by Mr.. Richmond of the Business,
and he accordingly drew up a schedule OF
games, which, IL carried out, would have
made this foot ball season the most promi-
nent in the. history Of the High School
When everything was in readiness for the
initial games the Business team tried to
play enc of its teachers and, the other
teams Directing. subsequently withdrew
from tie league. thus making the hrst
move toward running a well-intended or
ganization. The other schools tried to mold
the matter up and the leaders drew up
another schedule, but then arose little
trouble between the Centrals and East
erns, which virtually did away with the
league Only two games had been played
Centrals against Westerns and Centrals
against Eastern. Central coming out vic
torious in both games.
Already there are a large number OF the
alumni in town who have come on for the
reunion and the high schools are being
visited daily by old students DESTROYS of
once again being associated witE their
former classmates.

An interesting and highly instructive talk
on the worlds fair was given at the Cen
trail High School Friday night by Miss Anna
Seaton Schmidt, who is very well known
to WashingtoniaEs through the delightful
lectures on France and Italy. which she
has delivered in this city. To illustrate her
remarks Miss Schmidt made use OF one
hundred very fine stereopticon views, which
had been selected especially for the occa-
sion. The lecture was listened to with the
closest attention by the fairly sized audi
ence that had assembled in the exhibition
! hall
Mr.. Brown has at last succeeded in bring

were decided to be the handsomest, most
graceful and most fearless couple in the
battle for the largest piece of cake. The
! "Philaiethea" has been in organization
now for three years and it is the intention
of the members to hold the club together
as far as possible in the future.
The military instructors have been silent

inclined to favor the second battalion. This
places the Central behind the other schools

be expected. The Central-Business game
