Forrest CITY Schonl Notes.

The boys basket ball team lost a
hard-fought game to the Maitland
boys on the Maitland court last week.
our boys had not played on AN in
door court before and were slightly
handicapped by not being familiar
with one of the 1919 rules, namely,
that 1.-TWO on" is not foul. With the
abolition of that rule there is oppor-
tunity for more roughness than is us
ually permitted in u high school game.
The regular Assembly program last
week, presented by the LIST and Ind
grades was very good. Miss Sadie
Hunt had charge of the program
and il was very well handled. Our lit.
tie people are very interesting, and
they have fine prospects for some
very excellent talent,
