that the negative had the strongest.
We hope to give some more debates

appreciate this new and instructive
form of amusement.
Entertainments.

ter and Suter at an oyster supper.
The champerones for this occasion
were Misses Loftin and Todd and
Mr.. Rogers. Down in the ravine near
Bohemia, the senior class lost its dig

was a picturesque sight to see the
big bonfires with the tin and roast
ing oysters, the big walls OF earth
making a background, and Mr.. Rog-

as fast as they were cooked. We
had the finest kind of time and Ger

boy who pulled the organization
through splendidly last year and had

Elman will not discard his study of
music in the pursuance of his. other
duties.
The Tattler.
The Tattler. the high school publ
cation, was distributed for the first
time this year. last Friday. The
magazine is very good and shows
that the staff has been doing some
very creditable work. The cover is
IN the school colors maroon and
white. You know what is inside.
A Stride Forward.
In reading other school magazines
we find that Pensacola is not the
only city who is busily dreaming of
hew high school buildings. A great
many cities are taking this step for
ward in education but we are sorry
to see that the subject is beginning
to lag as if it was going to be
dropped altogether. This must no,
happen. The remodeled Tabernacle
viii comply with out needs temper
arily, but we must not allow the
thought to even originate that it will
do permanently. It is time for the
students and others to arouse inter
est in the erection of a new high
school building. We, as American
born citizens. must fight for oul
rights and If the present generation
will not give them to US, we. the
next will see that the students Oh
this time will get theirs.

year is to raise funds for the wirine
of the high school building and t.
