HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

<
| E. Coffman, was a visitor al
school, Tuesday.
| Mid semester examinations
are now being held; they will
last two days, Thursday and
Friday.
Literary Society No. / will
not give their program Friday
afternoon on account of the ex-
aminations.
The Girls Glee Club gave
some very good selections last
Friday afternoon for literary
society number two.
The Junior Glass claims the
Basket Ball championship. 1t
seems to be a settled fact, since
no other class disputes them in
their claim to this honor.
Practice has begun on the
Senior class play. Practically
the entire class have parts and
the play affords ample oppor-
tunity for the display of indivi-
dual talent. If you miss it, you
will be sorry.
Chick Kittle the best hign
school "hOrSa hide tWirler" in
West Virginia, left Sunday for
Baltimore, where he will join the
Mt. Joseph team. His loss is a
blow to B. H. S. pitching staff,
but a gain to Mt. Joseph.
We sincerely hope that Buck
harmon High will not show the
white feather" again this spring
as they did last fall. They have
been offered five dates to choose
from, and the game to be played
wherever they want it. The
game is to be played sometime
in May
Athletic relations between
Broaddus and B. H. S. have been
renewed through the efforts Of
both manager of team and facul-
ty manager. The two schools
will cross war clubs on the dia-
mond at Philippi, April 18th,
and again on the Belington
grounds, April 18th. But it will
be the same old story, cold Gold
and Blue always first"
On last Tuesday morning Pro-
fessor Frank Butler Trotter, act
ing president Of the w. Va. Uni
versity visited our high school.
He spent some time in English,
Latin, and German classes and
expressed himself well pleased
with the work being done, stat
ing that better work was being
done here than in the average
high school of similar size.
Prof Trotter conducted chapel
and gave a very interesting talk
on Opportunities open to Those
Who are Efficient" In this talk
he emphasized the value of an
education and the importance of
thoroughness.
We always welcome men who
are interested in educational
work and while we appreciate
people from abroad, we would be
glad to have home folks visit the
school also.
