HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Fete Day at the high school Wednes-
day afternoon proved to be one of the
most beautiful sights ever witnessed
by the thousands of people who
gathered on the campus to view the
folk dances given by children from
the public schools throughout the
city. The great success of the affair
is due 20 the diligent efforts of Miss
Zellhoefer. She is deserving of I'M
due praise for the efficient manner in
which she managed the affair, in
structing the teachers as to the
numerous steps to be taught to the
children. To the teachers, too. also
belongs great deal of praise for
their untiring efforts in instructing
the children in the different dances.
The fete day celebration started
With grand march of all the chill
dren. The orchestra furnished de
lightful music and the May Queen,
Mrs. Painter, with her decorated
throne was escorted to the place of
honor, from which she witnessed the
march of the thousands of school
children. After the march the chill
dren took part in many different and
attractive dances which they executed
in very graceful and admirable man
ner. The final event of the afternoon
was the May pole dance and in which
the high school girls and many of the
grade schools participated. The grace
full and beautiful dancing of the
children in this event Won the hearty
applause of the crown and when
America was sung as closing num-
Der the thousands of people joined in
singing the natiop4l song.

successful and was a great source of
enjoyment for all the teams. 1t is
planned to renew the league next
year and to start earlier so as to in
sure more games. The standings of
the different teams at the close of

College Men Visit Us.

Clay city had "a rare treat IN
spiritual and moral addresses at
the three different churches fror'
Thursday till Sunday. The team
os colle.c bows that came here
are young men of the best APP
pearancc and manners. They
seem to have their whole soul in
the cause they represent. They
indeed have done much good by
coming to Clay City. Each one
of them seemed to us possessed
with every element of a devout
christian minister. In fact their
manner of action is far above the
average preacher that visits this
town. These young men have
the very hest wishes of the writ
or in their high calling and noble
purposes.
These youngmen. we fear, can
not say rs much for Clay City as
Clay City can say for them. We
are ashamed to say so hut we are

so ric; ~ deserve Should these
