CURTAIN FOR HIGH
 SCHOOL AUDITORIUM PRESENTED BY w. T. (. |
Library Also Receive Liberal Assistance From Temperance Union.

Superintendent Whiteside, the faculty and students of the High School are very much delighted with the handsome drop curtain which has just been installed for the stage of their auditorium. The curtain is the gift of the School lm- eroVement Section of the W. C.. I U. This is a most useful and practical gift since heretofore when entertainments have been given, the school has had to use cloth curtains suspended from q cord. Many have been the FeXatious experiences of break ing cords and of curtains refus- I3lg to move at the proper mom- ent. Now these difficulties are things Of the past.
 The scene which forms the center of the curtain and the ads which surround it are the work of our local artist Mr. Al bert Borchardt who has spared no pains in his efforts to have . design, pleasing in effect.
 IL IS the purpose of the W. C. T. |. to d0 a number of other things for school improvement. Just now Supt. Whiteside and the faculty are trying very hard 10 make the library one of the important factors in their edu- eattonal program. Realizing that this can be accomplished more readily if the library is an attractive place To which the students may go with pleasure,  they have fitted up one Of the most desirable rooms in the building as the library. They have secured a number of valu- able books, the W. C. T. U. help ing in splendid way in this work. There is however much that can still be done and any donation of a single or set of volumes of standard literature, biography or history will be greatly appreciated by the school and the School Improve ment Section of the w. C. T. U.

MONTICELLO \ COL LEGE TOWN BEFORE
 THE CIVIL WAR.
Phi Kappa Sigma College Chartered In Fifty Eight.

Probably there are many peo- pie in our town today, who do not know that Monticello one had a college which was saiu U offer educational adVantag quite equal to any in the coun- try This institution. of which Prof. J. N. Barrow was tho fr and only president, began t. brief career on Monday Fe6- aary '. 1859 and WAS called The Phi Kappa Sigma College . The college was . large two story frame building located on the south side of what is eFen now called College Ave, about one block east of the present High School.
 Prof. Barrow who was grad uate of Centenary College Of Jackson. La, MAS member of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity, which accounts in a measure for the unusual name of the institu ton which he founded.
 On the outbreak of the Civil War President Barrow, like other young men of the country, found college walls less invit- ing than the field of battle and closed the school. As the strug gle grew more severe 1t was nec- essary that the building too a well as its president and form students be dedicated to ths common cause. For some tims it was used as T store house by the Confederates and when later the town was occupied by tas Federal troop the supplies were seized and the building was burned, thus bringing to an un- timely end Monticallo's first and only college.
 It seems unfortunate that at q later date, when reeonstrue- ton troubles were over. our cit izen did not again attempt to establish another college. In the words of President Barrow when announcing the opening of Phi Kappa Sigma, Monticello is pleasantly and eligibly sit uated in an elevated and health full region. while in respect to it's moral and social advantage it is but just to declare it unsur passed by any town in
 South West" "

Shelby Medley Wins Rhodes Scholarship Appointment over Meny Competitors.

M2ny Competitors.
 Last Monday morning the many friends of Mr. Shelby Me Cloy were delighted to learn that 6 message had come, announc- ing his appointment as Rhodes scholarship student from Arl,- ansas to Oxford University. Ox- ford England. This is indeed an honor. Only two appoint .ments are granted q state and these are always eagerly sought for by the young men anxious Ito avail themselves of the op, portanity fer development in liberal culture which the scholor- ship affords.
 IL will be recalled that these appointments are made possible by the will of the late Ceci Rhodes. diamond king and statesman of South Africa. Be- !ieving that the English speak ing people of the world should stand together for the main tenance of Anglo Saxon princi- Irles of freedom and good govern laeHt for men everywhere, he wished to help bring about among these nations . closer rel ati0n and better understanding. ID taat end ha set aside vast sum from his immense fortune tc De Used in scholarships. which would make it possible for students from various parts Of the world to have the privilege of three years of study at EHg!and's famous uni yersity, go rich in natieaal traditions and classic lore. Ample funds are also provided for travel on the continent dur- iE,g the vacation periods.
 4t #a5 his desire 10 arrange it so that those securing these scholarship should be repres- entative men of their county or state. He therefore provided that in their selection not only scholarship should be consider cd but qualities of leadership as evidenced in participation in athletics and various school activities. It is this plan of selection which makes the ap- pointment such a high honor.
 MT. McC!oy, who is the first of our Monticello boys to VII this distinction, has from the time he entered the grades made an eaViable record as a student. After graduating from our high school in the spring of 1914 he entered Davidson College the following fall from which in- stitHtion he received his bach elor's degree in 1918 and h,s Masters last spring, winning at the same time the scholarship medal given the student mak- ing the highest general average. He was also a leader in college activities being on the varsity track team, a member of the ' NJ. C. A. cabinet, an active literary society worker, and one of the editors of the weekly DaVidsonian.
 At present Mr. McCloy is 3 student at the Union The ological Seminary at Richmond Va. where he will remain this year as his appointment to OK ford calls for his entrance thert next October. The Montlceno- nian joins his many friends here in extending congratulation anC expressing the belief that this splendid preparation will fit hin for a place of large usefulness in his chosen field ot service.
