HOIbrOOk Plays Its First
 Basket Ball Game Today

04CACS4C OOA4AA0O1 A4C40 PO61- tion of librarian in the interme- diate room for the month of Octo. Der and the manner in which she performed the work proves hel efficiency in this line. Ester Dun. ming with MiIlie Lee as assistant IS holding down the coveted posi- tion this month and promises to make good.
 Our first athletic contest is slat- ed at last, On Saturday of this week both girls and boys basket ball teams will go to Woodruff via automobile and meet like ag- gregations from the inland met ropolis. Besides the basketball games there will be several field events followed by a big dance at night. This IS just the starting of supplementary school activi- ties which we hope will remove the taste of drudgery which stu dents are often wont to feel after being in school for a few months.
 Map drawing of the countries of the Eastern Hemisphere toget- her with a short history of the respective races is furnishing an agreeable as well as instructive exercise for the intermediate pu- pills this week. The interest talk en even by the fourth grade pu- pills is truly encouraging.
 While playing in the common before the South School Juan Garcla and Henry Anzures chanc- ed to find a ten dollar bill and checks amounting up into the thousands of dollars. The boys promptly gave their find to Mrs. TrammeI, their teacher. who re- ported the fact to Wm. Morgan who had lost the little sum-. MT. Morgan felt so elated over the recovery of his lost wealth that he set up treats to the entire South School. If any sickness should break out in this school don't lay the blame to scarlet fever, We anticipate several sick boys and girls from the effects of MT. Morgans liberality.
 Helen Purcel is back in school after a weeks absence caused by the scarlet fever scare. We hope the worst is over and as soon as | the quarantine regulations are complied with, that our schools may go on without interruption. Anything that interferes with school work is always deplorable.

 Miss Margaret ConwelI will have charge of these items next week. Watch for her express lons on some of the vital school matters of the day. We feel cer- tain that she will have something good to offer as she is a teacher of long experience and broad edu- cational training.
