HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Last Thursday afternoon mass
meeting of students anu citizens was
held. The meeting was the same as
that of three weeks ago but all in all
there seemed to be more of the school
spirit brought out at this gathering.
Some fine speeches were rendered by
the various speakers. NJ. B. Rosen-
berry opened the afternoon by a short
talk on team work in the school, and
in the community. He urged that
the students get behind this work
and help to boost it. e. N. Branden-
burg then took the floor to give talk
on the School Spirit. He said that
the girls were the standbys of the
team and of all school work, at which
the feminine hands could be heard
making small noise, but this was
absolutely true and we are glad that
Earl stated these facts. Rev. James
M. Buer concluded the talks by citi-
zens and he talked on team work and
also on the athletic phase of school
life. In his talk Rev. Duer spoke of
the various Eastern schools and col
leges and that the reason certain ones
of these schools win was because the
entire student body stands behind
them. Now the eleven men of the first
team lined up on the rostrum. Talbot
Montgomery, captain of the first
team, urged to turn out to see the
game Saturday. He said they didn't
care about the money although they
could make use of it, but we think
the school needs the money. The
boys have been doing all they have
been able to toward Installing new
lockers but they are not all in yet,
but are sadly needed.
