Miss Jones, Supt Ricketson and
Mr.. Stringer were all in Macon last
| Friday attending the state teachers
convention. They all had pleasant
time. SO did the rest of us.

The school home of the nine A
grade, Miss Sims English department
headquarters, boasts perhaps the most
elaborate schedule board of any room
in the house. Will Pryor and fellow
artists have placed in all the vacant
/ spaces, which stand for vacant pc
RODS the flags Of the U. S. and Allies
in crayon colors. Flags usually sig
nifty decorations for a joyous occa-
! sion. SO here.
All the departments have finished
the assignments for the year and are
now reviewing the work. 1t has been
undoubtedly a successful year and the
students have succeeded in doing
more unaidcd than ever before. We
have indeed trayersed lot of ground
and The examinations, to occur Fri
day, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
| day, will demonstrate how many
flowers the students have picked on
the way
The school exhibit is to be held
this afternoon. II certainly contains
some star work The quantity is
greater than last year Some say that
it will be impossible to excel the ex-
hibit held last year in the Carnegie
auditorium but they will decide other
wise if they will make the journey to
the high school building when it is on
display.
| Prof. Benjamin passed for the Of
acers Training Corps in Atlanta Sat
urday. We don't know whether to
offer congratulations or condolences.
The school owes the U. D. C. an
apology for allowing the pictures of
Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis
to remain SO long unhuNg. They
should certainly have been put up
when Miss Rutherford was here ON
i Wednesday. But the mischief has now
been practically repaired and the two
pictures now adorn the wall.
They were in some mysterious
!, manner hung on the walls between
Friday evening and Monday morning
) but as they were there without au-
thority the pictures were taken down
by Prof. Stringer. He states that
some more of other statesmen are
promised him and that he preferred
to wait and hang them all at once
However, it was decided best to place
the first two on the walls at once.
One day this week Miss Sims lost
: all patience with the Senior Class be-
cause of continued whispering. "Now
who was that talking. am going to
send the one who whispered out OF
the room, give you zero on the recita-
ton and keep you in an hour after
school. Now you really ought to tell
me if you were talking"
The baseball games have fallen
through with. Now how in the world
I are we to make up that SIS deficit in
the Athletic Association treasury? All
the money we will legitimately raise
must go to the Fitz-Hi Way.
The Senior Class is working over
time, that means working fifteen min
utes or less at night, finishing up the
various odds and ends of the high
school course and preparing the es-
says required at the end of each year
from the grads.
A number of students who have not
/, been so highly successful in their
work this term are quite discouraged
because they have been given the i'm
preston that they will not be allow
, ed to make up the work by study
ing during the summer.
That impression is erroneous. AS
{ this school has done before, and as
