TIE REPORTER WAS RIGHT
Hit Mil on the Head Despite Lack of
Official Information

In last weeks issue of the Reporter
appeared the probate change in the
teaching force sat the high school
1t will be remembered that at that
time officials refused to give out the
names of the new teachers, doubtless
because they thought the parents
would not be interested in the least,
but the reporter took a chance and
printed the names of the two who
would probably teach.
1t developed that the names were
correct, for Miss Agnes Mantor
daughter of Postmaster and Mrs.
Clarence Mantor and Miss Gail Tag
CART, daughter of Mrs. H. C. Taggart
are now members of the teaching
force at the Skowhegan high school
These young ladies have been engag-
ed to fill the vacancies caused by the
resignation of Miss Rowena Flynt and
Miss Marion Steward. Mrs. |. S.
Wheeler, the regular substitute teach
er will take Miss Mantor's place in
the eighth grade until a new teacher
for that position arrives.

SKONHEGAN HIGH DEFEATED
WateryilIe Eleven Runs up Total of
A. Points with Goose Egg for Lo-
Gals

Eleven men, representing the Show
hogan High school football team.
journeyed to Waterville Saturday,
where they lined up against the high
school aggregation of that city. The
result was direful, 45-O with the city
lads on the long end.
The writer wasn't present at the
game and has that much to be thank
full for. But from the score and
comment picked up here and there 1t
may be safely concluded that Show
hogan made a pretty poor showing. The
trouble seems to be in the backfield.
IT'S said that Chase at fulIback and
Header were about the whole show
Saturday but what were the other
nine men doing all that time? Water
VILE hasn't so much, then why the
walk over? Next Saturday our local
boys play the Abbott school at Farm
ington and it is hoped that they will
come back to town with a victory.
