SCHOOL NOTES
(By d. H.

Hard study is being manifested by
the high school pupils this week be-
cause exams will occur in another
week.
In the annual spelling contest which
ended last Friday, Hazel Miller took
first with an average of 99.S, the next
five highest were James Yates, Nina
Decker, Homers Eimers, Elsie Stanbery,
and Charles Hurley.
Last Friday evening a party was
given by Esther Telcher at her home.
A number of high school and grade
friends were present. The evening was
spent in playing games and everyone
present reports an excellent time.
The members of the high school can
hardly wait for the completion of the
'sPrairie Nugget the high school
annual. The printers have announced
that the annual will be completed in a
week to the enjoyment of the high
school.
The members of the two German
classes of the high school held party
Friday evening at the Erskine home.
The evening was spent in playing
games and telling ghost stories in Ger
man. After refreshments were served
the members departed for home, all re-
porting swell time.
Last Monday morning the Baconian
Literary society announced that party
will be held May 26 in honor of their
rivals, the Delphians. The Delphians
were very hilarious over the announce
ment, for they did not think the Bacon
ians had that much sympathy. This
party will end both societies entertain
ment this year and the past years
rivalry will be forgotten until next
year.
There will probably be only one more
high school base ball game this year ON
account of school being nearly over.
This game will be with White Bird,
Sunday, May 20, on the local high
school diamond. This being the last
game this year $50 crowd is expected.
If baseball is to continue in the high
school in future years large crowd
must turn out to this last game. Your
liberal support will be thoroughly APP
preciated.
The last literary society program
will be given by the Delphians Friday,
May 10. This is to be the last literary
program this year, so large atten-
dance is expected. The program will be
given at night in the high school audi
forum. The program consists of sing
ing, dancing and short comedy which
the Delphians say is world beater and
cannot be outclassed for its length.
Miss Clifford has charge of the program
so an excellent one is expected.
The Baconian program given last Fri
day afternoon was great success. The
entire east showed up like real profess
SIGNALS. The Delphians were amazed
at the enjoyability of the play which
was rib tickling comedy, Mrs.
Briggs Poultry Farm. The play
covered about two hours of time, but
every minute of the play was inter
esting and very amusing. A large
crowd attended and all report that the
play was an excellent one. The high
school band played before and after
the play. This ends the Baconians en-
tertainment this year and they are glad
that it turned out as well as it did.
Last Sunday the Cottonwood high
school met disasterous defeat at the
hands of he hard hitting local high
school. The score was 27-3. The game
was mere picnic and walk away thru
out the game. Nearly every local
player fattened his batting average be-
cause of Barnay's poor twirling. Gill
bert of the locals was never in danger
of being scored upon after the third
inning. A medium sized crowd attend
ed the game A parade was led before
the game which consisted of the local
band and billy goat with a sign over
its back saying, 1--WE got their goat. y
Last Saturday the local high school
base ball team accompanied by Coach
Cooke and few rooters went to Ferdi-
nand in Bennett IS auto truck and were
defeated by the west siders by score
of 80. The game was fast and furious
in all respects and IF it were not for
town players being on the Ferdinand
team the locals would have had little
difficulty in takirg their sealps. The
feature of the game was the battery
work of Addison and Frye for Ferdi-
nand, and Vansise and Frye for the
high school Addison struck out ID
while Vansise struck out Z. FL. EimArs
of the locals succeeded in getting the
only hit for the high school.
