School Notes.


(BY A PUPIL)
Several of the scholars were absent
last Thursday on account of the open
season on chickens. No one from any
of the different parties seems to have
stopped hunting because Of the limit on
25 birds day.
There are AZ pupils in high school now
This is the largest attendance that the
high school has ever had.
The high school boys have another
game of ball matched for Oct. 9, with
the first team of Holyoke.
Byron Akin has been absent from

Last Saturday former member of
our high school, Miss Ada Patmon, was
married at her home, to Mr.. Rex Rich

gratulations TO Mr.. and Mrs. Richmond.
Some of US had the pleasure of meeting
the bridegroom Saturday evening when
a charivari was given in honor Of the
happy couple.
Thursday evening the high school
turned out in body to enjoy the ia
nous trip around the world. Some of
our girls distinguished themselves as
Indians and Japs, but the boys all re-
NAMED straight Americans.
Friday afternoon Sept, 8. the SeCultu
Club Of the high school will give mu-
steal and literary program. All friends
Of the high school are cordially invited
to be present.
The seating capacity of the high
school room is now exhausted. We
hope that we will keep on increasing In
numbers. What are the people OF
Phillips county going to do about it if
we do?
The high school boys went to Wray
last Friday and Saturday 2:3O p. m.
crossed bats with the Wray high school
in two games of base ball. With our
boys to bat Ivan Cornell made the first
safe hit; this encouraged the boys and
with a home hit from Slagle made
scores in the first inning. Wray's sec
ond man up made score, then both
pitchers spurred up and neither side
scored until the last inning when viii
son made score for our boys and Wray
made one more score making the score
to 2 in favor Of Holyoke. Wray play
ed last years high school team; Z Of
che players have been playing all sum
mer.
George Wilcox and Ivan Correll were
the battery for Holyoke.
Lewis Mason and Earl Drummond for
Wray.. Wilcox and Mason each struck
out 10 men. Errors were few on both
sides and the game proved to be very
interesting one.
The second game started off well nei-
her side scored until the 4th inning
then the game began to go our way and
from then on the boys scored in every
inning which resulted in score Of II
TO 2 in favor Of Holyoke.
The trip WAS a long one but the bows
having won both games didn't mind the
long drive.
We hope to have line of games next
spring when the boys will not lose u
game.
The state legislature passed bill in
The last session making 1t compulsory
FOR every teacher to test each pupils
sight, hearing. breathing. mental and
physical activities etc. II is long
task but is good law and should be
enforced. Many pupil is kept back
in his studies and often misjudged be-
cause mis- sight or hearing is defective.
Such an examination is now being made
In our school which makes our regular
work very irregular. In case pupils are
found who need medical attention, by
law the parents must be notified who In
turn will send word back to the princi.
pal or county superintendent what they
have done.
