The Athletic Club, with Miss
Vivion as manager, numbers
sixty. There will be two sets of
basket ball, several tennis courts
and a number of sets of croquet
on the campus.
Misses Wilkinson and Fer
guson are new arrivals at Whit
worth.
We are glad to welcome Miss
Tilley Katz in our midst again.
Much to the embarrassment of
Mrs. Lipscomb's solid Geometry
class, Bishop Wood carried off the
laurels on original PROPOSE
tions." Perhaps a part of this
chagrin is due to the fact that
Bishop" worked his proposition
to too many girls; but the old
adage holds good-"There is
safety in numbers. y
The only disappointment in the
Teachers Recital of last week was
the aftermath, which was not.
Therefore the long faces of the
young men and the college girls
who were not permitted the usual

ROLL OF HONOR.
BrOOkhaVen Graded School, lSt Month,
l9O3-4.

Second Grade - Jessie Greer,
Elizabeth McBee.
Third Grade-Leslie Anderson,
Ethel Boone, Katie Currie, Ola
Entrecan, Theodore Holbrook,
Ruth Jones, Fred Montgomery,
Bonnie Lee Smith, Edwin Smith,
Hoke Smith.
Fifth Grade = Mary Apple

Sixth Grade = Leo. Bolster,
Fannie Greer, Tia Kemp, Mona

Gladys McNair, Albert Powell,
Eva Rose.
Seventh Grade-Belle Atwood,
Willie Cassidy, Julia Van Hook.
The honor roll is smaller than
usual, but the work of the student
body, as whole, has been better
than ever before.
The enrolment for the first
month was 421; the largest enroll
ment for first month in the his
tory of the school.
The tenth grade prospective
graduating class) contains ten boys
and fourteen girls, and they are
doing fine work.
The new rule for unexcused
absence and tardy marks has kept
several off the honor roll and has
reduced the marks of quite a num-
ber. This rule provides that each
absence, except for sickness, shall
discount the grade in each subject
by four points, and that if pupil
is tardy more than once the same
week or three times the same
month, each tardy mark shall have
the effect Of an unexcused absence.
This has already reduced the
amount Of taldiness and irregu-
larity of attendance.
Respectfully,

Words Of Wisdom.

1t is short road that has not
pitfalls in it.
No one is poor but he who
thinks himself so.
The slow paying tenant is like
wise rapid mover.
Want of care does us more
damage than want of knowledge.
It is sometimes easier to live up
to reputation than to live it
down.
Truth crushed to earth will
rise again, but too. often it needs
crutches.
Scatter your flowers as you co.:
you will never go over the roa j
again
Don't make the mistake Of call
ing every little pebble in your
path your Waterloo.
Every cloud may have silver
lining, but it is poor consolation
TO the man who happens to be IN
der one.
Cheerfulness is like money we'll
|expensled in charity-the more
we dispense of it the greater our
possession, Answers.

HOffman..Staffler.

On Wednesday afternoon at 2
O'Clock there congregated in the
Catholic church, invited guests to
witness the nuptial ceremony of
Miss Angelica Marguerite Stafier
and Mr.. Andrew Hoffman, of New
Orleans. The handsome young
ushers, Messrs. Antony Staffler,
jr., and R. M. Nalty, received the
guests with pleasing grace; after
which, to the strains of Mendell-
sohn's Wedding March, the maid
of honor, Miss Genevieve Hoff-
man, approached the altar, follow
ed by the bride leaning upon the
arm of hel father. They we're
met at the altar by the groom and
his best man, Mr.. P. J. Cantoni.
Miss Staff1er wore an elegant
gown of gray silk etamine, with
picture hat to match, while Miss
Hoffman was lovely in a new blue
etamine.
Rev. James Kiernan, pastor of
St. Francis church, impressively
spoke the words that, indissolubly,
bound the two until death do
them part. y An effective feature
of this eloquent ceremony was a
dissertation, timely and true, on
"The Perpetuity of the Marriage
Tie" After the service, in the
elegant church, where the beauti-
full and tasteful decorations in
green and white made an appro-
pirate bridal scene, the bridal
party and relatives were charm
ingly entertained at the home of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Staffier, where an elaborate
collation. was served in their pref
ty home. The wedding gifts to
the fair young bride we're very
costly and beautiful and bespoke
the esteem in which she is held.
The party, consisting of the
groom's mother, Mrs. Hoffman,
her dauhgter, Miss GenevIeve,
and the newly made Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoffman, left on the evening train
for New Orleans, where a recep-
tion awaited them. 1t was mat
| ter of deep regret that the train
was so late it interfered, mate
rally, with the plans for the even
ing.
The Leader unites with the
Brookhaven friends of the bride,
who have known her from infancy,
in wishing for her the continuance
of a life made beautiful by kind
illness and love. Miss Angelica
was a ministering angel 10 her
home, where she was the only
daughter of the household. and
will be missed as few daughters
are. May Joy and prosperity ever
attend the happy pair.
