afternoon, the other Saturday morn
ing. Central school took the first
game by score of to 3, Westmin-
ster took the second, score 8 to 5.
Both games were interesting and ex-
citing, especially the first. The sec
ond was played under difficulty, the

inning OH account of rain. Spain, in
the box, handled himself well for a
high school player. He would do
credit to a college team. Beaurgard,
catcher, lid fine work for Central.

On account of the addition of
tenth grade in the high school de-
pactment of the Westminster Graded
School, there will not be a gradual
ing class this year. We hope, to have
not less than seven In the 10th grade.
next year. For all the work done
in the tenth grade this next year,
those taking the course will get
credit for it in college when they
enter. In this way parents will save
at least the cost of a first year in col
lege %, course We don't intend to
convey the idea that we will give
from a first year course in college.
What we do will compare favorably
with any high school course in the
State. BY remaining in the high
school paplls can enter higher than
they otherwise would should they
leave out of the 9th grade. The
work done will be credited by our.
colleges in South Carolina.
Our commencement will not be
elaborate this time. We will have
an expression recital by the girls

ercises by the primary grades Tues
