 Marianna high school is very grateful to the citizens of the town who so generously contributed $250 to an athletic fund for the students. We also wish to thank Messrs. w. J. Shorten and R. D. Jarratt for circulating the sub- scription lists. Three cheers and a tiger for these gentlemen. They have our true M. H. s. Spirit.
 The girls basket ball teams started practice this week with 28 girls coming out for the first prac- tice. There is some fine material in the high school and several good teams are promised. Several games have been scheduled and the girls are very optimistic over their prospect sof winning at least majority of the games.
 The boys basket ball teams will start practice immediately after the football season has closed. The boys say they are going to beat everything in the country, and we hope they do. There is nothing like athletics to increase the 'pep" of school, and the M. H. s. is full both this year. Keep your eyes on the athletics and watch the school grow. We are brmming full of school spirit this year and are determined to put M. H. s. on the school map.
 Vezie May Greenhaw has been on the "nearly had the flu" list the past few days. We are glad to see her back in the senior class. There are only four seniors this wear and one absent makes the class look somewhat "dingy." Rev. D. J. Weems. district super intendent of the Arkansas Child ren's Home Society, made short talk to the high school at convoca- tion exercises Wednesday. He made very interesting talk upon l tbe value of an education, and stressed the fact that tobacco was very harmful to the boys, espe- caliy while securing their education. He also spoke very briefly of the work the Children's Home Society was doing in taking care of the orphan children of the state. 
 It is very gratifying to see the preat number of out-of-town stu dent stalking advantage of the 5op- portunities offered by our school
