SUMNER NORMAL SESSION
CONCLUDED SATURDAY
139 Students from Various Counties
Delighted With Results.

Another very successful summer
session of the Frostburg State Nor
NAL School closed on last Saturday.
One hundred and thirty-nine stud
ents from counties widely distributed
over the state were registered. The
entire session was characterized by
earnest intensive application of both
teachers and students to the prob
lens of the elementary teachers of
the state. The final summation of the
work reveals decided improvement
in the type of work done and a more
vital professional spirit is manifest.

soldiers who gave their lives gave

There was no diluted Americanism in

Installation and BANQUET.

On Friday night last Youghiogheny
Lodge Knights of Pythias, met at the
castle hall in Friendsville for the pur-
pose of installing the officers for the
ensuing term. Deputy Grand Chan

of the ceremonies. Those installed
were: c. c., Frank Lowdermilk; "
c., Oden Frazee; Prelate James H.
Fike; NJ. of W., Bailey Liston; 1. G.,
Basil Garlitz; o. G., Dorsey Guard.
Immediately following the close of the
lodge session all repaired to the home
of Basil Garlitz on Chestnut street,
where banquet was given in honor
of the returned soldiers who are men,
bers of the local lodge. The soldier
brethren. present were: Bayard Lis
ton, Orval Frazee. Oden Frazee and
Earl Lowdermilk. Too much praise
cannot be given Mr. and Mrs. Garlitz
for the use of their large dining room
and assistance in serving the ban
quet, which was most enjoyable. The
lodge will probably hold a memorial
service in the near future in honor of
Fred. Sellers, who paid the supreme
sacrifice in the battle of the Argonne

ord" If the soldier or sailor lost his
life in the service, or if he has not
returned to the state. member of

sistance in supplying exact informa-
ton as to dates, etc, in relation to
the military service. A photograph,

The Lever food control act was not

University of New Mexico and the New

Ting for honors in Albuquerque on
Thanksgiving day, the New Mexico
Military institute football eleven will
be engaged in an encounter against
the Methodist college at Clarendon
Tex. The institute has already tackled
the varsity and the farmers, holding
the eleYens of both institutions to a
scoreless tie. There is a great in

cadets against the Methodists. This
will be the final contest of the sea-

have played three games-the varsity,
farmers and the Texas Miners at FL

former aggregations and defeated the
latter, 10 to Z.
Regardless of the outcome of the
game on Turkey day, the institute
eleven has had a successful season.
Every player on the team is in school

institute started the season with a
clean-cut bunch of youngsters Only
a very few of them ever had any pre-

were whipped into shape, however, in
a surprisingly short space of time, and
demonstrated their pluck and ability
when they played the state university
team to a standstill in the opening
game, keeping the pigskin in the var
sity's danger zone practically all
through the game.
The institute has gone through the
season without having a professional
football coach. Two officers of the
school did the work of putting the
eleven on the map. Captain Wonsetler
