We, the ninth grade, have elected
the following for our class officers
Minnie B. Guthrie, president; Grace
Haywood, secretary and treasurer;
Ellis Arenson, censor. With such a
fine set of officers I know we will do
well.
Ellis Arenson says let by bygones
be bygones. He's going to live up to
his last months record on deport-
ment. Last month was the first time
he ever made zone" on department.
The class as a whole can't under
stand why such a change has come
over Ellis unless Miss Aliens smiles
have bewitched him.
We have three boys on the R. H.

game here Friday, Rockingham VS..
McColl. The score was 40 in our
favor, but to our regret, Frank Ell
lerbe sprained his arm. Our grade
has the honor of making the first
touchdown of the season.
The ninth grade is small in size,
but we hope not in reputation. The
girls line of march has not fallen
from its standard of last year, but is
getting on better every day instead
of getting worse. Come on, we will
get there yet. ! think we all chose
wisely when we chose Jessie McAu-
