this week. The old members were
all there and some new ones. Floyd
Longwell was chosen president.
Frank Mann, vice president and Neva
Trexler, secretary-treasurer. The
courts are to be cleaned off, and the
wire put up. There are three good
nets that were bought last year. The
members must purchase their own
balls and rackets. Members pay fifty
cents to the treasurer, Miss Trexler.
The study hall in the high school
has been improved a great deal this
year by having some new pictures
hung on the wall. Mr.. Rindom's Of
flee has been changed by having the
walls newly tinted. 1t presents a
pleasing appearance and is quite an
attractive room. The typewriters
have been moved into the hall adjoin-
ing the commercial room. This per-
mits the classes to be in session while
typists are practicing.
Verda Nimnick, who attended high
school here last year, is at her home
in Clay Center.
Will some one kindly see that the
study hall clock be kept with the
town time? Several tardies have
been traced to the study hall clock.
Work has we'll begun in all de-
partments of the high school. Many
adjustments have been made but it
seems there are yet few problems
to solve. The enrolment is smaller
than last year but conditions are diff
ferent. Some whom we expected have
enrolled in training camps while 9TH
ers are still needed on the farm. The
enrolment by classes is Seniors 25,
Juniors so, Sophomores 70, and
Freshmen 46. Students have enrolled
from the following towns: Moscow,
Sublette, Welberton; Lorena, Okla.
Hooker, Okla; Gray, Okla; Dombey,
Okla; Tyrone, Okla; Kirk, Colo, and
Hansford, Texas; Leona, Kismet,
.Hayne and Arkalon.
The Latin l class would like the
high school to know that it is proud
of the six boys enrolled in its class.
This is three times as many as en-
rolled in the 1918 class. The
Caesar class has an enrolment OF
eleven students. Ten of these are
girls. The Cicero class is the smallest
one in the Latin department, but its
brilliancy cannot be measured by its
numbers. Altho the Latin depart
ment is not as large as some OF the
others it is as important and is doing
good work. It's smallness was ac-
counted for in a talk given by Mr..
Rindom in chapel one day last week.
The English department feels quite
fortunate in securing list of clas-
sizes to be shown at the Majestic the
atre during the term. 1t is recog-
nized that the picture has come to
stay and it is time that we were max

Football Prospects

1t was thought last year that there
would be little material left for a
winning team in 1918. Several OF
last years all victorious eleven grad
uated but we feel confident that not
all the good material has gone. The
team is showing up mighty well.
twenty-five boys were out the first
afternoon and the number is increas-
ing. An exceptional average of $50
pounds has been rumored. Every
one has the greatest confidence in the
coach, Mr.. Rindom, and the school is
back Of him and the team. We feel
the town people are as well. Seized
ule for the entire season has not been
made as yet. There will be a game

Will you join us in our play, Fri
day, when we HE away to the farm Of
Mr.. Light? Aprons and unionalls

depart. From the Christian church
the cars will start. We will have

The above is the invitation sent to
H. S. students affiliated with the
Christian church and to all the teach
ers. A jolly crowd of about 100 was
at the meeting place promptly with
the girls wearing aprons and the sons
unionalls. The group presented a
veritable back to the farm move
ment. The entertainment was in
charge of Misses Feather, Buchanan
and Wilson, who had planned an ev-
ening full of sport and four groups
of 25 very cleverly presented living
war posters, while the other guests
guessed. The three-ring circus was
an amusing affair when the different
groups were kept busy playing games
and putting on stunts. A feast OF
splendid watermelons which everyone
thoroly enjoyed was prepared. The
midnight hour is to be remembered
for the songs and yells which were
given on the trip home. The c. E.
people are to thanked for the happy
evening afforded the high school folk.
