High School Notes.

Mr.. Ranck impressed upon us at
the first of the week the purpose and
meaning of "Law and Order Week."
and since then we have been striving
hard to live up to its significance.
Several programs were given during
the week to emphasize the need OF
order and obedience to the laws. On
Wednesday we had joint chapel and
eight or ten pupils from the Senior
Hall read selections suitable for the
occasion. DR.. Niles was also pres
ent and spoke to us few minutes.
On Friday the Junior and Senior
High Schools marched through
town in behalf of celebrating Law
and Order Week." and incidentally
for advertising the football game with
Dyersburg.
Governor Roberts came up on
Friday afternoon land delivered a
splendid address to the school on
Law and Order" We were very
fortunate indeed in having him with
us and at such fitting time.
Friday afternoon the U. G. H. S.
boys won a glorious victory over the
Dyersburg team, defeating it 1870.
We are certainly proud of such a
team. They played remarkably we'll.
On Friday night the Basket Ball
girls were to play Humboldt but on
account of the death of Mr.. Wilbanks
the game was not played. 1t was
left to the crowd in the gymnasium
whether they wished the game to
be played or not. Everyone with
out an exception expressed their de-
cision that it should not.
On Saturday night the Juniors"
entertained the Senior Hall with a
"Tacky Party" in the gym. Every
one looked their part and enjoyed
themselves to the very fullest.
