HIGH SCHOOL

/
The new. literary officers
took charge Wednesday and
will perform their respective
duties the remainder of the
year. The following program
was deliversd Music-Bruns-
wick, Jokes-Floyd Marker,
Current Events-W. H. Veal,
Music--Brunswick, Recitation
.-Lita Holiday Glass Proph-

School.
The new semester began
Monday. All have resolved,
it seems, to turn over a new
leaf and study harder during
study hours and play hard at
play time.
The science department is
very unfortunate in being able
to keep a teacher. Last year
Mr.. Trentman quit about
Christmas to accept another
position and now this depart
ment has lost Miss Kennedy
as their instructor. She also
resigned to accept another po-
sition, but we are all glad she
has not entirely left the town.
Miss Kennedy was married to
Mr.. Leo Douglas Saturday,
January 20.
Mrs. Eva Wheeler, repre-
-senting the w. c. 7. U. school
at Belen, visited our school
Thursday and gave the stu
dents a very interesting talk.
Kenneth Green is N. c. o.
this week.
Just after Thanksgiving be-
gan the basket ball season.
Since then a little has been
done in the Estancia High
School through scant means
as we have, toward training
for interscholastic basket ball;
and a great deal more has
been attempted. Efforts have
been made to find a building
suitable for an indoor court,
for basket ball is an indoor
game, but there seems to be
no such building in town. In
spite of that failure we shall
arrange to hold a number of
games with the small towns
OF the valley, and within the
valley we hope to prove that
E. H. S. is a growing and
prosperous school in a pros
porous town. Our school can
not be what it should be with
out good athletics; our town
can not be what it should be
without a good school.
The manual training de-
partment was first put into
operation this year, in the
same building that it now is,
but under very crowded cir
cumstances. 1t has lately been
extended over the entire front
of the building where it not
only has more room but bet
ter light, and should there
fore be capable of more and
better work. The time and
work have thus far been de-
voted exclusively to school
equipment, and in view OF the
work yet to be done, will
probably be so devoted almost
the, entire school term. Ap-
plications for bookcases, ia
bles and minor details of
equipment have been received
in such numbers that manual
has become essential
to the zupkeep of the school.

DIED

}. M. Spruill 'died Sunday,
January %.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday, conducted by Rev.
w. c. Grant, and the body
was buried in Estancia ceme-
terry.
Mr.. Spruill was about sixty
five years of age, and had
been a resident of the Estan-
cia valley about fifteen years.
He came here from Texas. He
was a successful stockman and
was esteemed and respected
by a large circle of friends.
His death was due, if not
directly at least indirectly to
a rupture Of long standing.
He was taken sick Wednesday
and was alone until Saturday
morning, having had no help
or attention except such as he
could give himself in the
meantime. Severe vomiting
had made him very weak.
Berry Hues, his nearest neigh
Dor, had been away from
home at Santa Fe, and on Sat
urday morning upon his re-
turn went over and found Mr..
Spruill almost dead. Medical
and other aid was summoned
at once, and on Sunday morn
ing it was decided to take
him to a hospital at Albuquer-
que, but he died on the way.
Mrs. j. Miller, aged some
where from forty to fifty
years, died Saturday night at
the home of George Fenley
for whom she was working as
housekeeper. She had been
here about six weeks, coming
from Denver.
Deceased had a bad heart,
and an attack of grip proved
too much for the heart.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday, conducted by Rev.
A. B. Weaver, and the re-
mains were buried in the Es-
tancia cemetery.
Mrs. Miller was a widow
and had three daughters in
Denver, aged thirteen, sixteen
and eighteen. The daughters
were unable to come to the
Mrs. A. B. Hale, wife of the
N. M. c. agent, died Monday
night at her home in Estancia. |
She had been a sufferer
from heart disease and drop
sy, and had been i'll for some |
time, but on Monday morning
she seemed so much better
that a son who had come from
Denver to see her returned to
his work there.
The remains were shipped |
to Fort Sumner Tuesday even
ing accompanied by Mr.. Hale,
where funeral services were
held and the remains were
buried yesterday.
Mr.. Hale had worked here
as agent for considerable
time, but Mrs. Hale came but
a short time ago.
Mr.. Hale and children have
the sympathy of the communi-
ty in their great loss.
