SCHOOL NOTES.

delegations OF students and teachers
began to arrive from Apex, Bald
Mountain. Russell, Black Hawk and
rural schools, and by 1880 O'CLOCK
the high school assembly room was
crowded and an overflow meeting had
filled the next largest room in the
building. The crowd was entirely toe
large for the present accommodations
at the high school and the high
school will be too big for the same
accommodations in another year. 1t
would seem that this meeting should
point the way to an enlargement of
the assembly room before another,
year has passed. Miss Annie Clan
Nllle, president of the senior class,
OF the high school, presided over the
meeting in the ass.Nnbly room and
the overflow meeting. The numbers
on the pnoglhm were given as lr
as possible in both rooms, each par
ticipant repeating his part on the.
program. The high school chorus
sang THE Kings Champion" Miss
Annie Glanville welcomed the visit
ing students and teacher, and re-
sponses to her address were made
by Beatrice Stevens for Bald Noun
tain, Ray Mellow for Russell Gulch,
Russell Taylor for Black Hawk, An
ME O'Neil for the Academy and Ruth
Wiley for Central Ernest Goldberg
was present to represent Apex but
unfortunately was unable to be pres.
ent for this part of the program. The
musical numbers by the different
cl1sses Of the high school ami by.
the Black Hawk and Central grades
were very good, the papers and talks
by members of the high school con-
greas describing the Denver triFY
were interesting to everyone and in
dicated that the boys had an interest.
ing and profitable time on their trip.
The class exercises, class will by
Mae Harrington, class prophecy by
school athletics by Laura Ayers and
Newton Rugg, and pleasant recollec-
'tions of high school days by Else
Teats were of much interest to pros
pective high school students. Mr..
Momyer spoke of the splendid pros
pect before the high school and pre-.
dicted that the high school next year
would be the biggest and best in the
history of the school. He mentioned
the need of a larger assembly room,
the proposal to establish a thorough
business course. and expressed ap-
probation Of the harmony and spirit
of cooperation that exists among the
schools Of the county in their reIa-
tion to the high school. Eighth grade
students were urged to confer with
the superintendent or with the prin-
cipnl OF the high school and, wer.,
sible to enter the high school and
continue their endeavor to secure an
education.
The program at the school build
ling was conceded by everyone to
be an improvement over the excel
ler. prog4am that was given last
year and the attendance by school
patrons shows a public inherent in
school affairs that is most gratifying.
After the program the school patrons
filled the reception room for several
hours viewing the exhibit of the work
OF the Central schools. Teachers
wehe ngrktulated on every hand
for the fine work displayed and for
the imprkYement of the work over
that OF last year. The exhibit will
be on display for the week endt.,y
May 22 for the benefit of those who
were unable to get in on account OF
the crowd and for any who were un-
able to be present Friday afternoon.
Be sure you see this exhibit. 1t is
worth while. While patrons were
inspecting the exhibits, practically all
the upper grnde school children OF
Gilpin county were gathering at City
park for the track meet. The wealth
er man was none too kind. but the
boys and girls were there Just the
same with more energy, and puifh.
and enthusiasm than has been shown
in Central for a long time.
The work of the track meet was
efficiently directed by Mr.. Wiedman
and by Newton Rugg.
After the track meet came the ball
game with Bald Mountain and Rus.
sell arrayed against Black Hawk. II
