of the faculty of the several high schools,
and that number of the teachers will
accompany the boys to Virginia Beach.
Among these the names of Mr.. w. r.
Eastman of the Eastern. and Mr.. Harry

officer of the National Guard.
To raise funds for defraying expenses
incidental to the outing THE Rivals" will
shortly be produced by a dramatic club
made up of High School students under
the direction OF NJ. ]. Harry Bean.
The expectation is that the largest repre-
sentatton IN the provisional regiment will
be from the Central High School, from
which two companies, it is hoped will be
secured One company in the provisional
regiment. it is thought, will represent the
Eastern High School and another company
will represent the Business and Western
High Schools combined. Former members
of the High School Regiment who might
desire to go to camp with the boys may
obtain necessary information by Communi-
eating with any of those interested in the
project.
