Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-03-11

Last month was the beginning of a
new month and every kid is las they
say trying hard for good report be-
cause it is just two weeks before quar-
! terlies.
We have got pictures of the presi-
dents of the board to hang in Mr.
Mathis office. The pictures have
come but we haven't hung them all up
yet
We are getting ready for an exhibit
in April at the same time the High
Schools meet here. We expect to
have few visitors at our school.
We have been making bread fol
nearly two weeks and we ought to
know how very well now. Although
we didn't get taste, Miss Mexican
said it was good. We have also been
making Parker House rolls and sweet
French rolls.
/ We will soon finish the embroidered
pin-cushions we started and an expect
to start on a gown next.
The IL got out last Monday after q
month of trying to keep quiet between
periods We had one vote which we
unwillingly received but had to, and
the 70 was ahead for three weeks,
but when the fourth week came we
found some teacher had found them
noisy and was compelled to give them
a vote which made the IL catch up
with them; so we both got out for a
half-holiday.
Last week all Of the boys played
basket ball. The seventh grades play
ed most of the time Mr.. Smith chose
a team from each seventh grade. The
IL boys we're, Sam Hooks, Carr
Glover, Ralph Glover, ]. P. Braswell'
Frank Lee and Courtney Ivey. The
70 boys were, William Fetner, James
4 f. Hines, Norman Mcleod. S. L. Ham
mond, Marvin Giddings and Bill Law
! The score Thursday was to 4, in fav-
or of II. The game Friday was 3 to
/ |, in the IFS favor. The two seventh
grades challenge each other twice &
day and if one class beats the other
those that get defeated are so jealous
that they are willing to play all day
rather than get beat again.
Mr.. Smith is making jumping hurdl-
es for the High school and he has all
the Grammar school boys saving SO
much lumber that they they can
hardly walk.
| Friday, the girls had the usual
game of basket ball between the 9th
grades and seventh grades. The score
was 4 to 8 in the 9Th grades favor.
The seventh grades line up was:
Marie Bell, Frances Sparks, Lolita
Physioc, Hulet Humber and Elizabeth
Sheffield. The sixth grades, Louise
Dudley, Georgia Lumpkin (these two
put in the four balls for sixth grade),
Gladys oliver, Julia Allison and Min
erva Allison.
The boys here have received chal-
Ienge from the sophmore basket bail
team for game. We are not quite
ready to accept now, but VIC will take
them on for a game pretty soon.
Several weeks ago an army officer
inspected the schools of Atlanta and In
a statement to the paper he scored the
schools heavily because not single
American flag did he find in one of
the schools. If he had inspected our
schools he couud not have said that,
On fair days a big American nag
floats over the building. When we
march in and out of the building the
leaders of the primary grades carry
flags while in the upper grades the
four best lines of boys and girls are
awarded the privilege of carrying the
flag of our country. On Miss Sarahs
window sill there is whole jar OF
ting American flags while the fourth
Grades use dozens of them in their
pretty flag drill.
