When the Right Little Girl
Loves You''-has been the inspira-
ition of the greatest and grandest
acts in the lives Of most men, and
Mr.. Joe Bren, the popular compos-
Ter and song writer, is no exception
to the rule, as his latest song hit
proves.
There is very pretty romance
connected with his courtship and
jrecent marriage One day, while
lstrolling along the beach, in tow of
Dan Cupid you may be sure, drink
| ing in the pure ozone, finding new
chords and themes in the beating OF
the waves upon the sand, in the
whistling of the wind and never
ceasing cries of sea birds he met
1.-THE right little girl
Dan Cupid always has one eye
open for just sthe right little girl
for some fellow. or sudden, Dan
Cupid spied, under the depths of a
big parasol, the mischevious blue
|eyes of 'sjust the right little girl,
land he tugged and tugged at his
companion sleeve until he, too,
stopped, looked and discovered those
same blue eyes and promptly deeid-
led that Dan Cupid was the right
man on the right job at the right
time
Then followed pretty romance
friends lovers engaged -papa's
stern refusal-the quiet marriage
winning fathers forgiveness-then
that complete happiness that comes
from the union of two souls. That
the happy bride is exceptionally
pretty and an heiress only adds
heart interest to the story.
With his dainty bride as muse,
Mr.. Bren has portrayed the romance
of his life in the words of his latest
beautiful catchy song, when the
Right Little Girl Loves YOU" which
is rapidly proving itself one of the
big popular musical hits of the sea-
son, both with the profession and
the public. This song, as well as Mr..
Bren's popular hits, Just One
Word from YOU" and ''If You But
Knew is published by the ]. w.

SCHOOL NOTES

For the second month the en- rollment in the grammar room vas 28,sm the intermediate 34, nd in the primary 51, making
 e total 113.
 There were 9 tardy in the gram -af room, 1oin the intermediate, and 13 in the primary. In the grammar room there were 15 pu- 3ils who were neither tardy or =bsent while ill the intermediate IT and in the primary 20 pupils nave the same good record. The percent of attendance for the school is 95 which is not so good as last month, due to the weather somewhat.
 The grammar room had the quarterly test on Thursday and Friday. Examinations are not ab- ;olute gauges of knowledge but hey are interesting in results, and often painfully surprising. The five who made the highest lverage grades were Florence Smith, Helen Smith, Lois Riggs, Willie Woods and Annie Thomas. in arithmetic Helen Smith, Hen ry and Lorraine Lopez made 100. in spelling Helen Sapp, Helen Smith and Annie Thomas. In his tory Helen Sapp.
 The spelling contest in the grammar room stands for the second month 8th grade II words missed, Eth grade 35 words missed and 5th grade 8 missed. This makes the 9th grade victor for both months.
 The Halloween program in the lnCermeQlaCe room was mucn en- joyed by pupils and patrons. Mir. and Mrs. W. B. Woods visited all the rooms, while Mesdames Buck, Sharp, Glaze, Biggs, Divelbess, Rencher, Gardner and others visited only tn the intermediate.
 The grammar room returns thanks for a new stove which was put in place Monday.
 Next week we will give the names of the pupils who were neither absent or tardy during the month.
