MEMORIAL SERVICE

The students and faculty of the By
ars-Hall high school met in a mass
meeting, Tuesday, at the general ex-
ercises, for the purpose of holding
memorial services in honor of Miss
Moore, whose sudden death last week
has been such loss and caused such
a shock to the school and town in
general. Mr.. Duggan presided over
the meeting and gave a very appro-
pirate talk upon the life of the de-
ceased. He referred to Miss Moore as
one of the most highly educated
young women that he had ever known
and said that had she lived she would
have made quite a mark as teacher.
He also referred to an article that
appeared in the Nashville Banner,
written by a Chattanooga correspond
ent, who said that Miss Moore was
one of the most highly educated
young women in that city.
No member of the faculty or school
has been more intimately associated
with Miss Moore during her stay here
than Miss Drane. She told of what
this association had meant to her
and of the influence for the higher
and better things of life that had been
stimulated by this association.
Mr.. Woodson's talk was along the
lines of influence and what it means
in our lives. He referred to the sud
den shock that had been caused by
the mysterious act of Providence in
taking away the life of one who was
SO well equipped for useful service
to humanity. He said that he thought
that this sudden death had caused the
most serious reflection on the part of
the student body and that, heneeforth,
they would be more inclined to look
more seriously at the higher and hol-
Ter things of life, since none of US
know how long it may be spared
to us.
The meeting was closed with a
prayer by Chesley Bowden, mem
Der of the student body. Mr.. Woodson
appointed committee of FIVE stu
dents to draft resolutions Of respect
and have them published in both To-
cal papers this week.

BASKET BALL

The last basket ball game of the
season will be played in the school
gymnasium, Friday night, when the
Byars- Hall boys team meets the fast
and aggressive five from Tunica,
Miss. 1t will be remembered by those
who saw the game last year that Tun-
lea put up very poor showing and
got the small end of the score, but, if
foreign dope is worth anything, the
local boys may expect a much harder
struggle this time. Since their game
with Lucy, they have learned to not
rely too strongly on past scores but
to let the bygones be bygones.
The Tunica boys are expected on
the morning train from Memphis,
next Friday, and will be given the use
Of the gymnasium for practice during
the day. They are coming with the
full determination Of winning the
game, but Coach Woodson says that
his boys viii be right in the fray for
sure enough tussle, even if they
haven't had a full week Of practice.
Paul Shoaf is suffering from a
scalded hand and may not be in shape
to play Friday night. In case he is
not, Willie Moore will be shifted to
forward and a guard will be picked
up from the reserves The game will
start at about 7:45. Tickets have
been on sale all this week. and it is
thought that a big crowd will be on
hand to witness the last, and probably
one of the best, game Of the season.
