High School Notes

of the girls.
Miss Hopkins, who taught here last
year and is now teaching at Chapman,
wrote to some of the high school stu
dents recently. Chapman has a good
football team this year, although they
have been defeated in their first two
games, coming out with the short end
of the score with Minneapolis and
Abilene. Chapman tried to book
Hays for October 18th, but Hays had
already contracted to play Great
Bend the oath of this month.
The high school students will put
on another minstrel sometime soon. A
committee has been appointed to col
lect songs and jokes. As soon as they
get them together they will start to
practice. The minstrel last year was
not regarded as a success, but this
year they are planning a real one.
The Juniors had backward social
last Friday night. Not only the Jun
iors, but even the teachers, wore their
clothes backward. The plan of the
evening was to have everything back
wards, so the first thing was the eats.
The toothpicks were served first, then
the cake and ice cream. After this
Bessie Tillotson played ''Till We Meet
Again." and Laura McKeever gave
''Mary Had Little Cold" Both of
these numbers were given backwards.
We then had the following games and
contests; fortunes, swap, initiating,
spelling match, (backwards), "The
Farmers Romance" foolish contest,
backward race, and peanut contest.
Everybody agreed that this was the
best social yet held at the high school.
At Stockton, Friday, October 10th,
will be the first football game for the
Hays High School eleven. Their OPP
ponents will be the Stockton bunch,
which is considered as fast football
team.
The books in the library have now
been classified and catalogued and are
ready for use. Every book taken
from the library will first be checked
by the pupil in charge.
Last week the high school students
