believed in God and the best things. He
believed in home, in country, in church, in

High School Notes.

At the b. II. S. Literary Club meeting
last Friday night the usual order of
exercises was followed. The minutes of
of the last meeting were read by Miss Buck
lin, the secretary, and after they were ap-
proved an interesting program was given.
The exercises were opened by singing
"When the Swallows homeward Fly" by the
club. Miss Lillian Jones read very inter-
esting paper on Washington, and Miss
Florida Carrow sang prettily and with much
expression. Miss Alma Colby read in a
very pleasing manner extracts from recent
magazine article on a visitto Mount Vernon
a hundred years ago. Miss Evelyn Woods
piano solo received such continued applause
that she was obliged to repeat part of it as
an encore. Mr. Frank Twombly presented
an extremely interesting article on Marconi
and his Message. The program was closed
by Miss Helen Dilworth's song "Fleeting
Days." which received an encore. At the
suggestion of Principal Howard some
familiar songs were sung before the meeting
adjourned. The program prepared by the
committee underwent some changes on
account of the illness of those assigned
parts, and while some of those who enter
tanned the club Friday evening had the dis
advantage of short notice and hasty pre-
paration, all acquitted themselves very
creditably.
