Last School Dav June 20 High
School Commencement Probably
June Is.

II was announced on Tuesday at
the regular monthly meeting of the
Beard of County School Commiss ION
ers for Anne Arundel county that the
public schools in the county will close
on J1ne 27.
Commissioner Melvin, when inter-
viewed by The Capital this morning,
said the last school day would be Fri.
day, June 20 on which there would be
actual teaching and recitations, but
as the Maryland State Teachers AS
sociation Institute is to be held in An
napolis the week of June 2S, the
scho )ls are kept open that week in
order that those teachers who do not
attend the Institute may teach, other
wise they would lose their salary.
1t is expected that the High School
Commencement will be held on We'd
nesday, June Is, at the Colonial
Theatre, although this arrangeF ant
is only tentative, and may be changed
at any time by the Principal, Miss
Linthicum. or the School Board

ST. JOHNS AND NAVY
FIVES MEET SATURDAY
Lively Basketball Game is Looked
for at Academy.
BOTH TEAMS ARE STRONG.
But Middies Are Probably Shade
Beiter-WrestIiBg Gymnastics and
Fencing Also Scheduled.

Much local interest is manifest in
the basketball game to be played at
the Naval Academy on Saturday aft
ternoon, when the midshipmtn and
the FIVE of st. Johns College will
hook up in their annual contest. The
hour fixed tor the game is 2:SO
O'Clock, according to present arrange
ments.
Both institutions have s1roIg teams
this season, stronger than the quints
that represented them on the court
last year. The middies have not been
defeated so far this year, while the
Collegians have suffered only couple
Of defeats.
Not alone because OF the rivalry
between the schools will the middies
be eager to win, but also 20 maintain
their clean slate for the year. A
hard an aggressive game is antici-
pated, though prospects for victory
probably favor the sailor lads. Thu
middies will be somewhat heavier
than the collegians, and while being
probably bit faster, for aggressive
ness they have nothing on the cadets.
Another advantage to the middies
will be their familiarity with sur
rcundings of the Armory, for there is
no doubt that an indoor court is a
handicap to whiting teams.
Saturday will be another int crest
ing day in athletics at the Academy.
Three dual contests in as many
branches of indoor sport in addition
to the basketball game, are on the
card for the day. Immediately fol-
lowing the basketball contest, the
Naval Academy fencers will engage
in a series of bouts with the experts
of the New York Turnverein.
In the evening two college teams
will me asure their skill against the
midshipmen in gymnastics aud on the
wrestling mat. Both of these events
will take place ia the gymnasium, be-
ginning at o'clock. In gymnastics,
the middies will go up against the
team representing New York Univer-
sity, while the grapplers of Lehigh
will be the sailors opponents on the
mat
1t will be big day for the mid
dies, equaling in general interest the
series of contests pulled off last Sat-
urday
