HARTLAND SCHOOL NOTES

HARTLAND SCHOOL NOTES
Representatives from two business
firms visited the Academy last week
and from them the members Of the
Junior and Senior classes have or
dered class rings and the Seniors
commencement invitations. The Acad-
envy team plays with Newport High
again on Saturday. The first game
with Newport, played about two weeks
ago, resulted in a victory for the New
port team, owing partly to the fact
that the Academy boys have had little
experience, and partly to the fact that
two of the regular players were unl
able to take part in the game. An
entertainment will be held at the OPP
era House in st. Adams Tuesday eve
ming, Oct. 25. A short play, readings
and orchestra music will be given.
The program will be followed by
games and dancing. 1t is hoped that
a large number of the friends of the
Academy in both Hartland and St.
Adams will be present.
