as to who the nominee Of the demo-

The Carter county teachers have

we can look back to two very bright
spots. The first came in the per
son Of DR.. Wyatt, an ex-service man,

He told many interesting results

Strange to say numbers Of these
men were cured through play and
great number have been able to take
up their life with new energy. He
described the games which he used
and then we spent two very enjoyable
assembly periods out on the campus
playing Irish baseball and other mass
games under DR. .Wyatt's directions.
DR.. Wyatt is of the opinion that
in time the mass games in which
everyone plays all the time will be-
come a part Of our school system.
The other enjoyable feature of this
week was the splendid program which
was rendered by the Lions Club. 1t
