Holly School Notes

Mr.. J. H. Hargreaves. OF Amity
recently gave to the school library
q number of interesting books
which will prove . valuable addi-
ton. They are much appreciated.
Mr.. Hsrgreaves also gave m excel
lent book on carpentry and . mod

training department.
The basket ball games last Fri
day and Saturday nights drew ex-
cellent crowds and were very inter
esting. On Friday night the game
was between the local team and WI
10y. The teams were evenly
Inatehsd last year. when three times
they had to play ~ ? tie. This
year they showed even strength on
the Wiley floor. but Friday night
Holly marched to victory with the
decisive score Of Is to II. We are
now champions Of the eastern d.
vision. We shall probably have to
win from the strong Rocky Ford
team. II we are to be champions of
Southern Colorado.
The 9Th and 10th of March are the
dates for the Prowers County
Teachers association, which is to be
held in Holly this year. This is
the first time in many years that
the association has been held here.
The local corps of teachers will do
everything in their power to make
this event great success. 1t is be-
lieved that all citizens of Holly,
especially the patrons OF the school,
will attend the sessions and other
wise manifest the usual hospitality
of our town.
The noted Ayres test in spelling
was given recently to all the grades
In the country schools of district
No. 6. The result was unexpected
and startling. The average in all the
grades OF Holly were much below
the standard of one hundred Amer
lean cities tested by DR.. Ayres. The
same is true Of the Jordan school.
The Beet Ranch school and the
Cheyenne school were both above
the average percentage. This is re-
markabie when we consider the
fact that these schools have not
the advantage Of the town. The
Cheyenne school had the highest
percentage of all.
