SENIOR NOTES.

The noble Seniors, after much gravt
elaboration have decided to honor thu
city of Butler by giving play for Com
mencement. just what the play shall
be, as yet has not been permanently
decided, but, be that as it may you may
rest assured that what ever shall be
decided on will be conducted with al
honor and glory to the Senior class Of
1914, B: H. S. Tennyson's Princess,
and Gam of Old Salem, are both be.
ing seriously thought of. The latter,
probably will be chosen. 1t is a vivid
tale of the Puritan days, and would re-
quire far simpler setting and costum-
ing than would 1.-THE Princess, and
most important of all is the fact that
the cast of the parts tallies nicely with
the number~of Seniors. Miss Catron
has been chosen by the class to direct
the play and we are sure that she will
help to make it a big success.
The Physics class ran out of ink the
other day and were kindly advised by
Prof. Coonrod to take up a collection
among themselves and to purchase q
new supply. After short consultation,
several worthy young gentlemen de-
tached themselves from the group and
hurried towards town and soon return

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Chapel, April 2, was unusually long.
Quite number of visitors were pres
ent There was DR.. Foster who wish
ed to announce the medical lecture, and
Clyde Sellswho in behalf of the Bates
county club presented the High School
with picture of the Agriculture build
ing at Columbia, and Mr.. A. H. Culver
who after encouraging US to take an
interest in the Brighten Up, crusade
going on in our city. gave US some very
interesting and Instructive observations
of the State Penitentiary. Miss Goldie
Newsome also rendered one of her
beautiful solos and was given hearty
encore. Miss Doris Wyatt was her ac-
companist. Other visitors present were
Misses Linda Nix, Media Denton and
Alice Smith.
Miss Gramesly, the state librarian,
spent several days last week at the
High SahQql cataloguing and arranging
our library. For this privilege we are
indebted to, last years graduating class,
for it was to. this purpose that they de-
voted the money received from their
play. Our librarp, is now in better
condition than it has ever been in the
history Of the school, but even in it's
best condition it is poor enough. Truth
to tell we are not very proud of our IL
brary. With the exception of the
Teachers Training course and Agricul-
tural students the various departments
of the school are are able to derive lit
tie information from the library. The
English Department especially has
been hindered by this lack of reference
books and has been able to do scarcely
any research work.
After very pleasing piano duet by
Cora Allen and Ruby Hart, last Thurs
day, Major Crowell addressed the stud
ent body on the subject, "Light Houses
and Light Ships" 1t was one of the
most interesting talks of the year and
we certainly hope Major Crowell may
be persuaded to address us soon, again.
Mrs. Armstrong, Sam Armstrong
and Miss Virginia hampton were chapel
visitors.
Miss Smith, together with some of
her students, made some very interest

altho rather formidable array of sta

The Senioral dignity had terrible
shock, last week when Miss Fenton sent
the class to the board and dealt knock
out blows from Carlyle's essay on

to spell the words and to give either
synonyms or definition. Some rather
amusing results were obtained.
