1t is a matter of pride to the
citizens of the Holly. community
to see the school busses, powerful
motor cars. bring in their large
loads. OF 30 or more pupils. And
these pupils are alert and bright
eyed because they know that they
are a part Of a fine school system,
and they also know that they are
at an advantage, over the pupils
who go to the 0nerOOm rural
school. where there .are.few advan
tages and many disadvantages.
This year. six buses are used to
carry the pupils Last year but
three buses were used; as the con.
solidatfon was stih, in, the expert
mental stage At the beginning Of
the next school year it is expected
that nine buses will be in opera
tiOn.
The school owns its own garage
for the care and operation OF its
buses. This building was built to
care for eight cars but will provide
for ten. 1t is a modern structure,
built this fall. equipped With modern
toosl for handling cars-hand drills,
pits, chain hoist, gas pump. oil
tanks. yulcanlzers, etc. A well
qualified mechanic is employed by
the district for full time to see that
the busses are always in working
order.
Holly consolidated district is not
to be outdone by any school dis
trict in the state. A modern seven
room house Is now under construc
tion for the superintendent o!
schools. 1t will be modern in every
respect-electric lights. bath, lnun
dry furnace, etc.. Holly believes
that by providing good place for
it's superintendent 10 live, 1t can get
the best superintenderts-and what
is more, keep the good ones.
As the present school Ia growing
faster than the school buildings, IL
lie believed that this spring will see
the construction Of large new
grade building.
What better compliment could be
paid to a community that the fact
that 1t builds new schools becaus

Holly High School
Wins Double Header.

Considerable interest throughout
the town conferred in the first bas.
bet ball game OF the season by the
local high school on last Friday
evening, In the gymnasium. The
game was. with the Laki nHigh
School young people and some ap.
orehensiOn was felt by the friends
OF the local school, especially in re-
terence to our girls. since all but
two were to play their first game
But you can always safely bet
On the Holly girls. Our girls were
outweighed from ten to twenty
pounds per girl, yet it was with lit
tie difficulty that they defeated
heir much heavier rivals The
girls score in our favor was Al to 81.
The Lakin boys were defeated by
the Holly boys, 26 to 8. Good team
work was evidenced in both games.
Holly was never in danger In either
game. Both sides fought fast and
furiously. The Lakin bunch let no
grass grow under their feet. but
they were simply outclassed. Both
teams were at q great disadvantage,
in that their sweaters were practi-
eally alike, which slowed down the
passing. A great and enthusiastic
crowd watched the games with good
interest. Perhaps special mention
should be made of Ena Fowler ana
verna Wood, who in spite OF their
size. gave such a good account OF
themselves. Most Of the goals were
thrown by Maurine Hardy. The
Holly guards, Zola Vincent and
Pearl Griffith gave q good. account
Of therpselves in keeping Lakin
from scoring. The Center. Dot Mer-
i'll, also played good game
