Oakland High School Notes.

In the words of one of the teachers,
Monday was a rich day for our school. AS
was announced, we honored Lincoln and
Washington in a joint celebration of
their birth, the forenoon being devoted
to the former and the afternoon to the
latter. Mr. f. A Thayer delivered the
address of the morning to a highly
interested and attentive audience, and
in addition to this, Ross lsenberg played
two piano solos, and Frederick Thayer
recited Lincoln Gettysburg Address.
When the time came for the after
noon exercises, large crowd gathered,
the entire audience packing the AS
sembly Room to its fullest capacity.
Mr.. j. L. Harmed addressed the school
on the subject of Washington, illustrat-
ing his lecture with beautiful colored
lantern slides. The orchestra of the
Methodist Sunday School was present,
and played some excellent selections,
in addition to which Ada Glotfelty play
eb a piano solo. The school sang
several numbers both in the morning
and the afternoon.
We wish to heartily thank Messrs.
Harmed and Thayer for their excellent
lectures, and the orchestra for its
splendid music.
For the school month of February,
the following students have made not
less than 80 per cent. in each subject
studied and not less than 95 per cent. in
conduct: Freshman, Mildred Dixon,
Marie Finzel, Mary Garrett, Carrie
Mann, Lloyd Casteel, Otis Harris, Felix
Robinson; Sophomores, Mabel Falken-

This world is full of sorrow,
But it's full of sunshine, too:
If you want to have = real good laugh,
Here s all you have to do
Look up the Friendsviile High school Notes.
In last weeks Democrat,
And read poem written there
Then laugh and grow real fat.
1t says that Friendsville has the best
High Scoool in this good state.
And yet they wouldn't even try,
When we asked them to debate
1t says, in basket BAN they've ne'er
Been Whipped by us: We fear
That all the team has left their school,
That we licked twice last year!
Their athltes are not quite the best
That Maryland can produce;
And speakers in their finest" school
Do not seem so profuse
Their school may be the best around,
But Oakland doesn't know 1t
Unless they base their statements on
The merits OF their poet.
