of roses, verbenas, caiadiums,
geraniums, shrubs and roses.
At the Elmwood school two large
lower beds were put beside the front
entrance OF the building. AIT Lincoln
one large bed 100x25 feet was spaded
and each class at the school plant ID
flowers in the space. At the CARR

beds were nut in and the lawn was
grassed between Walnut street and

OF For Dexter.
The G. Fl. S. baseball team left on
early Iron Mountain train this morn
ing for Dexter. Mo, where they play |
the crack high schoA- Team of that |
city this afternoon.
On account Of. the rainy weather |
all week the local team has had very |
little practice and as that counts for
everything the game may not come
out in their favor. However Dexter
claims to have - best baseball dia
mond in Southeast Missouri 80 the
G. Fl. S. fellows will probably put up
d better exhibition of ball playing
than they unfortunately did here last
Saturday.
Mr.. Midkiff went along with the
boys and the following made the
trip: Mcnamara. Gadbois, Colp, Ire
and. Hill, Mattingly, McDaniels,
Quellmatz, Brown and Hofheinz. The
.eam will return this evening.

The Senior class had a meeting yes.
erday to decide upon a motto. The
that was appointed to sub

we're voted upon and the majority

Flag Pole Damaged.
The heavy wind that accompanied
he terrific rain storm of Thursday
light played havoc with the flag pole
hat adorns the front yard of the C.
/. S. grounds. The pole which
lands considerably higher that the I
Ugh school building was bent into A
n arch shape the top lying on the y
round.
The mast was left as a memorial /
y the class of 1909 and is one of the A
lost expensive ever bequeathod to Q
he high school, 1t is incased in a Z
rm cement foundation and is made +
heavy steel material At the time
purchase it was guaranteed by the Z
takers to withstand the elements r
ithout the use Of guy ropes or A
races of any kind. The pole can be .
xed and the 1909 class viii attend q
} this but they may MAKE use OF the ,
uarantee they were given and Sc g
are a new pole
Bad Condition.
Since Walnut street has been torn n
, and with so much rain lately C. r.
I. s. students coming from Washing
IN avenue or along Walnut street on r.
Their side have found it almost inn m
1ssible to get over to the high a
Hiding without walking through al I'M
ost impossible mud. Whether this .
the fault OF the contractor who Is In
wing the street. city authorities or n
lie school board Is not knowus but T.,
e matter should be attended to by =
HON ever its jurisdiction comes a
lder.
