HIGH SCHOOL GET
Ting Up TO DATE
Debating Societies and Ath-
IetiCS to the Front.
Girls Are All Busy Making Class Pen
nantS and the Boys Are Preparing
to Put AmeFlCuS on the Map So
far as School Sports Are Concerned

Making class pennants is the fad 1T
the High SchoC, new Every girl
who is handy with the scissors and
needle is atwork manufacturing one
for herself, and perhl,ps Others for her
boy friends.
No UP to date school now but must
have its pannant. The High School,
thougE, has gone one better than this.
1t is having a special pennant for
every class. Inasmuch as every class
is trying to rival the Others in the
why of beautiful combinations of COL
ors the outcome will doubtless be four
pennants that will lay in the shade
anything Georgia has ever yet known.
Not only in this respect, though, S
the High School dining itself up with
the spirit that prevails i'm other isimila&
institution and gives tone to them IN
the eyes of the boys and girls. De-
batting societies have been organized,
one for the boys and che for the girls.
and the latent oratorical powers Of
both sexes are soon to be nnder devel-
0pment Then athletics are also COM
ing in for a fun share of attention.
Nothing endears a school to the youth
full masculine quite so much as the de-
velopment of the athletic spirit. Al
ready the boys of the High School,
classes are at work On a track in
Rees park, doing some good running
stunts. A relay race, to cover four
miles, is being arranged for, with
couriers located at each mile post to
take up the message to Garcia or some
other person and carry it on safely
and speedily.
Basket ball is also to be encouraged
this winter and rattling good team
is likely to be tAe result. A series of
games with the Y. NJ C. A. is project
ed. This class enthusiasm is being
brought up to a high pitch and the
rivalry between the Americus High
School and those of other towns of this
SecIlohl is apt 10 result IN some pretty
contests before the season is over.
1t has been found in all towns
and cities that a reasonable encour-
lagement of athletics promotes the
general welfare of the High School,
1t attaches the Boys to the schoo
keeps tklem in good physical condition,
and gives the teachers more sway
over them in their actual studies.
There is no reason to believe that it
will be otherwise in Americus. A
greater attachment for the school will
undoubtedly be one of the immed-
late results, and ON that basis the in
stitution will undoubtedly become one
of greater usefulness and power to
the Americas of the future.
