Dennis Howard and Ray Moses, two
popular high school pupils have turned
out to be bachelors. The boys report
fine time. They expect to keep it
up until school is out.
The Free Press printers have promis-
ed that the high school annual, "The
Prairie Nugget will be out either the
last of this week or the first of next
week. The ANIMALS are expected to sell
like hot cakes. Better get one.
On account of school being so near
to the summer vacation the local high
school base ball team has disbanded.
The team did have a game scheduled
with White Bird but it was called off
because some of the high school play
ers are on the town team which is 60
ing to Cottonwood Sunday.
The captains of the various athletic
branches have been elected for
the future year. he basket ball cap
tain for next year is Dugald Holsclaw.
The track and baseball captains have
not yet been elected but no doubt Jake
Briscoe will receive the track appoint
ment and Kabot the base ball position.
School will close next Thursday noon
much to the enjoyment of all. Exami-
nations will be taken the first of next
week. Pupils are studying hard so
that they may pass. Most of the teach
ers are holding reviews so the exams
will not be so hard for the pupils
There will be no school Tuesday, it be-
ing Decoration Day.
The Seniors and Juniors have chal-
lenged the Sophomores and Freshmen
to a baseball game to be played this
coming Friday. The upper classmen
feel sure of the victory but the lower
classmen have to be showed. A roaring
hot game is expected. The band will
play before the game. The game will
start at $3.50 sharp.
Next Friday evening in the high
school auditorium, from the hours of
1880 until 11:00, the Baconian Literary
Society will entertain the Delphian
Literary Society by swell party. An
excellent program has been prepared
by the Baconians and it is hoped that
the Delphians will leave their war
paint and jealousy at home and enjoy
themselves as this will be their last
chance.

of her base ball team as four of her
players play on the regular first team
of the city. Those playing for the
