MCMILLAN NOTES.
(By Roselle Haskell)


The old saying is that they all come
back. 1t was true at Mcmillan last
Saturday morning when the bell rang
and an assembly called. who should
it be but our old Professor, f.. B.
Street, who is now principal of the
public schools at Independence, Mo.
Mr.. Street was well liked by the stu
dents of Mcmillan, who reluctantly
gave him up, and of course all were
delighted to see him.
Saturday afternoon when the one
fifteen bell rang another assembly
was called and two of our old McMil-
Ian boys, who helped Mcmillan win
the championship State Basket Ball
team last year, Johnny Kistler and
Sam Locke. Kistler is going to Cen
trail College this year He is one OF
Central's best foot ball players. Sam
Locke is attending the State Univer-
sity.
The students were entertained by
Miss Dennie Kelso and Robert Camp
bell. Miss Kelso is one of Mexico's
best singers, whose duets were most
pleasing to the students. She and Mr..
Campbell also sang some duets that
were greatly enjoyed.
