High School Bulletins:


S~eventy-fve new books, investment
of part receipts from last years Lii
brary Campaign, were thrown open
to an eager and expectant body of
students for the first time yesterday.
Hereafter on each Friday a librarian
will be on duty, ready to hand out
the coveted volumes. With what gen
uine pleasure these few books have
been received! How willingly the
students have ~catalogued and labeled
them-frequently unable to resist a
momentary peep within the fascinat-
ing covers.
If the citizens who cheerfully conz
tributed to this fund last year could
but see the enthusiasm called forth
by the mere sight of this tiny IL
brary, they would feel richly repaid.
After all, is there anything more sat
isfying to the person of mature years
than the feeling that he has added to
ure-perhaps a stimulus that may
give an onward impetus for years?
Health Officers.
Health Officers, appointed from
each class for periods of a week, are
showing how much students can aid
in keeping rooms and school ground
clean and attractive. The hearty CO.
operation of the students in this mat
ter is most complimentary to them.
Athletics.
If the intensity with which the
students engage in play is an indica-
ton of their possibilities for work,
then the present High School corps
will surely give us reason to be proud
of them in the future. The girls
take part in their games of basket
ball, captain ball, tennis, ETC., with a
zest that stirs the pulse of the LATEST
onlooker.
And as for the boys-don't say that
the new football contributed by Mr..
Sinner and Mr.. Matlack isn't being
appreciated. No one who saw our
team tussling with Bartlett A. C. will
deny us honorable mention. The way
Pleasantville, one and all, buckled
down to work during the last half
showed a grit and determination that,
coupled with a weeks more practice,

Glees.
Under the direction of Miss North,
thirty-two girls have organized them
selves as the P. H. S. Glee Club. The
student body looks forward to at
least one concert from them.
Prize Awarded.
The new High School Paper is at
present exciting great interest among
all the classes. The advertisement
department, so necessary to financial
success, is being %patronized by bust
ness men with a truly admirable
town spirit.
Lewis Adams, Business Manager,
reports that he has scarcely had a
rebuff.
Apropos of his good work in this
connection, we were all delighted to
have him receive the t~wo-dollar prize
offered by Mr.. Sinner for the best
name for the new publication. Lo-
Gated as we are on the bay shore, next
to one of the most famous health re-
sorts along the coast, what could be
more fitting appellation than "The
Breeze? 1t also has the merit of
being exclusively our own.
Literary Society.
Rich colored autumn leaves franz
ing a typical woodland scene-tent,
canoe, t~all-trunked trees and shadow
waters-made a pleasing background
for the students who took part in the
last Literary. Always agreeable &C.
casions, the students were especially
glad to resume their meetings again

A short business meeting preceded.
