The Lamar register., 1915-10-27

The freshmen had delightful time
Friday evening at the semester party
at the high school building.
Football Game
The Savages went to Las Animas on
Saturday to play the Bent county high
school and were defeated by good
score in the first half of the game,
neither team scoring in the second
half This was the first league game
in which the team has been engaged
and their playing, especially their
ability to come back during the second
half gave promise of considerable
strength for the games to come. The
boys were pleasantly entertained at
the Zerbe home in Las Animas after
the game.
Trinidad Saturday
The Savages will play Trinidad on
the local field on Saturday afternoon
and expect to win. Two bits will ad
nit you. Come out and see the game.
Girls Club
The Girls club of the high school
this year has on its membership roll
the names of eighty girls interested
and taking an active part in the work
of the club. This organization aims
to help the girls in many ways. The
reed work, such as the making OF
mats and baskets, has been one fea-
ture of the work. Last night Tues
day. instead of on indoor meeting,
the club went on wild goose chase
to the fiume, where forty-fve girls
answered to roll call and held their
regular business meeting. Plans We're
made whereby Lamarites will see that
the Girls club have more than pass
ing interest in the high school athlet-
les. Lucy Yeates was elected yell lead
er for the girls on next Saturday when
the Lamar boys will meet Trinidad in
combat.
Later in the year, the club will I'M
dertake Indian club drills and dramat-
ic productions. The girls meet every
Tuesday evening and anyone who
cares to visit and see what they are
doing, will be most cordially well
coined.
Big School Book Sale
Lamar school books are being adopt
ed by practically all the school dis
tricts in Lamar trade territory, many
sales having been made in Kiowa,
Bent and Baca counties within the
past two weeks. The low prices and
the convenient arrangements for ex-
change are attractive features to the
school directors. By introducing the
Lamar texts the local schools are
rendering a worthwhile service. The
schools in these counties adopting
the Lamar books will be tied to Lamar
in several important ways. They will
come to Lamar for their school books
and will follow the Lamar school
course of study. The tendency will be
for patrons 10 trade in Lamar and to
move to Lamar whenever a change is
desired in schools. The school book
store is now delivering school books
to any postofiice or rural route adj
dress in these counties at an extra
charge of only one cent per book.
Schools Will BE Dismissed
The Lamar schools will close We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday, Novem-
Der 3, 4 and in order that the teach
ers may attend the Colorado State
Teachers Association in Denver on the
dates named. Schools will be up to
date only in so far as the teachers
are interested TO keep in touch with
the latest and best things in their
work. The State Association will be
attended by several thousand teachers
and addresses will be given by some
of the most noted educators in Amer
lea.
