High School Notes.

All those WnO aCConQ0Q the " ceum number given by the Boyds were well pleased with the program. It being of such a nature as to be attractive to young and old. We have made a good beginning in attendance for the course of lectures and we hope there will be many more to hear the next number.
 Last Friday afternoon the school children formed a parade and in trucks and cars went to the train to meet Governor c. H. Brough who lectured here that evening. The national songs were sung as we'll as oth- CT patriotic songs of today, and appropriate yells and cheers were given. Afterwards, ac- companied by the Red Cross Units, in a car suitably decorat- ed with the national colors; and the school children and Govern or Brough were taken for a drive around our town. The school children at this time let it be known that they had done their share in the raising of the United War Fund.
 That part of the Lonoke High School which composes their football team visited the school Friday morning during their wait for the train which they took to go to Clarendon where they played in the afternoon. We are glad they called and hope they enjoyed themselves, and also that they will not be so shy about coming next time. We are glad to say that they fared better than our own boys, the score being Is to 7 in favor of LOnOke.
 The ball game which was to have been played at Stuttgart last Friday was not played on account of the bad weather. The weather-bird does not seem to favor our boys; they had bet ter do something to win him to their side.
