here on Wednesday morning with his
parents. They made the trip overland
in the Buick.
Miss Weedman wishes to make the
statement that she knows nothing
of regulations at Camp Funston. Her
remarks in class were confined to the
city hospital in St. Louis, where her
brother is an in.erne.
Osa Freeman spent vacation near
Gray, Okla. We often wonder what
the attraction is down there for Osa.
She goes frequently Really, we be-
lieve that someone should look into
the matter. :.
In the fourth hour English class,
Miss Wilson was speaking of snake
that had been injured and supposed
to be dead but came to life again. She
said, "They evidently didn't kill it
dead.
Domestic science note books have
been graded, but no one seems to
smile when they see the great num-
Der of mistakes. Miss Ester says she
will take off 10 per cent of the grades
if the books are not in by the end of
the week.
The seats were taken apart, tSatur-
day, and reconstructed. When they
were installed at the first of the year,
they were put together without a set
of rules to go by. By changing the
position of the arm pieces and the
iron support at the back, the chairs
are more firm.
The Mathematics club held it's first
regular meeting, December 5. Two
meetings have previously been held
for the election of officers and draw
ing up. the constitution. There is
quite number of students interested
in this club and it ought to prove a.
success.
The L. ]. L. girls received letter
from Louise Falls, last week. She is
student at s. c. and is very busy.
However, she finds time to keep up
on the Liberal football record. She
says she is certainly proud Of her
Alma Mater. And we are proud of
Louise. College days are ever so busy
and happy, yet the memories of high
school days still linger.
We certainly need a hospital at
school. About the time one person
RECEIVERS from his injuries, we see
someone else with his arm in sling
or we see him walking on crutches.
| If any girls are anxious to take up
Red Cross work, here is good
chance to begin at home, Herman
Condit is walking without his
crutches and Weston Hubbard does
not carry his arm in a sling any more.
But Monday we found Loyal Patten
on crutches and Verna Hayes with
her arm in sling. Also, John Heaton
is minus several patches of skin that
should be on or around his nose.
The Freshman-Sophomore party
was given last Wednesday evening.
The front hall was artistically deco
rated with the Sophomore and Fresh
man class colors, which are, respect
lively, purple and gold; lavender and
white. American flags were used, in
combination with the class colors.
While the guests were arriving few
of the old, familiar party games were
played, after which an indoor track
meet was held. A picked cat was
then served. Its head was a potato,
the skin channels skin, grapes were
used for eyes and strings of raw beef
for the intestines. 1t is needless to
say that this dinner of cat caused
quite bit of excitement. A lunch
of pumpkin pie, apples, pickles, cocoa
and sandwiches was served. The even
ing was enjoyed very much by both
students and faculty.
The Liberal high school won oven
the Guymon town team, Thanksgiv-
ing, with a score of 10 too. The
game was one of the fastest that was
ever played on the Liberal gridiron
The only substitutes that were put in
for Liberal were Craig and Jarrett
The game was of the open type, being
won by end runs, forward passes and
fakes. There was only one time when
we did not have them under control
and that was just in the beginning of
the game. They carried the ball to
within about five yards of the goal
line; then the Liberal boys screwed
their courage to the sticking point
and the opponents carried the ball no
farther down the line. The Thanks
giving game was the seventh game
for Liberal and the sixth victory, our
score standing pol; opponents, &C.
Conservation is the spirit of the
hour and we see it in the school room.
Both sides of the paper are being
written on and pencils and crayon are
being used even when they grow
short.
