THE HIGH SCHOOL
BULLETIN

The contest Friday night between the
Senior classes OF Brookville, Punxsu-
tawney and Reynoldsville was decided
success, from our standpoint. The con-
testants from the different schools came
here sanguine of success, but not being
previously aware of our ability they
have tasted the bitterness of defeat and
have gone home wiser but sadder lot.
We rejoice over our victory because
we have defeated so worthy opponents
Their worthiness was shown by their
splendid productions, and by the mag
nanimity with which they bore their
inability to win the prize. Truly, as
some one has said, "to smile in victory
is easy, in defeat heroic"
Our school has been working hard
and faithfully the last two weeks, for we
knew we had TO put forward every effort
to win. But before the contest was end
ed, 1t was a foregone conclusion that we
were going to win. 1t was only ques-
tion of how many more points we would
have than our nearest opponent as 1t
was, we had "a, Punxsutawney 2Si, and
Brookville %.
The judges are to be congratulated
on their wise decision, which has met
the approval of every just person who
heard the contest. We are glad to
state that our worthy County Superin-
tendent gave ecldt TO the occasion by
his presence. He opened the contest by
making few appropriate remarks con-
cerning applause and announcing that
there would be an informal reception
for the High Schools in the library inn
mediately following the decision of the
judges.
We wish to note some of the special
features OF the occasion.
The pupils of the preparatory and
high school had supplied themselves
with canes and pennauts which they
proudly and gracefully waved to the
music of the orchestra during the even
ing.
In order to add little spirit and en-
thusiasm to the occasion, the pupils OF
the upper grades were planning to have
some songs Introductory to the contest,
when In the midst of the preparations
decree was issued by the board which
forbade any applause, except by the APP
propriate use of the hands. or course
this included yelling, but with all due
respect to the directors and those in
authority over us, we could not restrain
our 'pent up" energies throughout the
evening.
The excitement during the absence OF
the judges was at fever heat, not only
in the rooters' corner but in every quar-
ter OF Assembly hall, and when the de-
cision was awarded us, our leader, Will
liam Reynolds, gallantly led us thro six
hearty yells, which gave expression to
our feelings and voiced the sentiments
OF every supporter in the room.

No one would have thought VIII
would have gone the wrong way after
leaving the balcony, but he did. How
ever he was gently 'collared" by one OF
the fair sex and sent spinning In the
right direction.
Who says the girls can't runY Why
the way they sprinted for the rostrum
would lead one to think they had been
practicing for hundred-yard dash.
The reception was not very we'll at
tended after the close Of the contest
owing to the fact that everybody was
excited and talking contest that Punx-
sutawney had to leave, as they couldn't
hold ~ their chartered car any longer (;
and lastly, that Brookville was trying
to charter a car to get out of town. But
few of the contestants did remain and
we were glad to meet them and con-
gratulate them on their efforts.
We were sorry to learn that some Of
the Freshman Glee Club forgot them
selves and hissed when the decision was
announced. And we are equally glad to
acknowledge that 1t did not meet the
approval of the four contestants of that
school. We realize that they 1.-THE
F'reshmen) are young and know not
what they do, hence we forgive them.
Admitting an honorable defeat Is
half the victory F.; and now Brookville
stands second.
Can any one say word against the
order on the left balcony Friday night?
No one had a thought OF disturbing any
speaker. In fact we we're quite sympa.
thetic and when some of the speakers
got lost our feelings went out to them.
You can trust the boys and girls when
you treat them right.

Anaconda, July a.-Following a serious
loran, wife of p. NJ. Halloran, of No. 4oI
West Third street, died this morning at
o'clock.
Mrs. Halloran leaves TO mourn her un-
timely death seven children under years
Of age, and the baby born but few days
ago, mother, Mrs. Hart, and a sister,
Miss Francis Hart.
The mother and sister are of Hamilton,
Ont, from whence they recently came.
The friends of the woman who will greve
at her taking away are numbered by the
hundred in whatever locality she has lived
during her lifetime, for Mrs. Halloran was
beloved, respected and admired in every
way by those who knew her.
Arrangements Not Completed.
The funeral arrangements have not as
yet been completed. Announcement will
be made later in that regard.
Mrs. IIalloran was the wife of p. NJ.
Halloran, treasurer and auditor of the
Butte Anaconda & Pacific Railway COM
pany. She has been, with her husband
and children, a resident of this city for
a number of years.
During her life in Anaconda her ac-
quantance has grown steadily and her
staunch friends are now of sufficient
number to make a small army within the
city.
A Home Woman.
Being strictly home woman, Mrs. Hal
loran enjoyed and appreciated the pleas
ures of a happy household, devoted hus-
band and family of most excellent child
gen.
Her death breaks into a circle which
can never be reunited. The sadness that
her taking off must bring will be of that
sort which can be relieved only by time.
The community at large grieves with the
relatives in their hour of bereavement.
Mrs. Halloran was born on May 5, 1866,
and was therefore 81 years of age.

known as slot machines. 1t takes a big
silver quarter to move the pin that re-
leases the wheel and gives the ''gamester"

Several had whiled away a few hours
playing the machine and all had lost
more or less.
Some few dollars were within the safe

in glee and with pencil and paper figured
up the profits which he might expect at
the end OF the first so days OF play.

There was a lul in the click of the
quarters and the buzz of the wheel. Then
the door of the cigar store opened and in
walked one of Anacondas legal lights.
He moved about for a few moments in
his usual deliberate manner. His eyes
fell on the slot machine The big pocket
was the attraction for him and in went his
quarter.
The wheel buzzed, then stopped, and
perfect torrent of two-bt pieces rolled
into the pocket below The legal light
grinned not. neither did he quit. Another
quarter went into the machine and once
more the wheel buzzed.
Once more the click indicated the Sss
mark. and once more out rolled the per-
feet torrent OF quarters. Forty-nine dol
lars and so cents to the good seemed fair
to the legal light.

80 days il this same legal light gets to
feeling good again and drops into his
machine another two quarters.
