HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN
MADE FINE RECORD

Although not an all-victorious
eleven, the 1922 Durant High School
football team can we'll be said to
have had the most successful season
in the history of the High School.
having won six and lost but two state
games. All-victorious elevens are
scarce in every class, and teams end
ing the season with a percentage Of
.750 are not common.
Coach Bryan Nolen's gridsters
piled up a total of 149 points to their
opponents 65, and every team they
played was classed as among the best
in the state with the exception of the
Boswell eleven, which was defeated b
a score of n to 0.
As a mucous for next years eleven,
Nolen will have, Taylor Reed Tommie
Bates, Tay Moore and Bennett Story,
Cester Bates, c. ]. Powell, Roy Zion,
S. F.. Street.
The disappointment of the season
was the loss of the Madill game. The
local players entered the game con-
fident of winning, and when they
found that the Madill eleven wab
stronger than they anticipated, never
did get the necessary stride to put
across a touchdown. However, fol
lowing this game, Nolen's men got
into their true stride, and with the
exception of the Ardmore, played
sensational football for the remain,
der of the season.
Then, in the Caddo game. the To-
Gals struck their stride. Facing {
team. outweighing them twent!
pounds to the man, the locals showed
their gameness and won to 0. Tht
Atoka game was the big surprise o.
the season. Ramsey's men wer,
dopcd to win the Durant game b!
at least GO points, but the local boy
outplayed their heavier rivals in ev
cry phase of the game and ran "
a score of 25 to 0. The Hugo gam
went about as expected. Durant wol
by score Of 25 to 0.
The Durant goal line was crcsse
by but two state opponents this yeal

for the season is as follows:

PLANNING XMAS

THE Goodfclows, local volunteer
organization which for several years
has brought Christmas cheer to the
poor families of the city. whose
means would not permit them to pro-
vide it for themselves, are preparing
for big year this Christmas and
contributions are already coming in
for the work. 1t will all be needed
however, for there are more. needy
families in our city this year than for
several years past.
The Goodfellows organization pro-
cure, names and addresses of fam
lilies in need, especially where there
are small children and on Christmas
morning, they deliver baskets of food,
toys, clothing and so on, depending
upon the special need of the family
to be helped. There never has been
any difficulty in procuring enough
money and supplies for the work, and
none is anticipated this year.

THE OLDEST SCHOOL.

THE Boston Latin school is the old
j est educational institution In the
United States, having enjoyed a con-
tinuous existence since April, 1885.
From the start, 1t was a school for
higher education, especially Latin and
Greek. 1t appears to have been the
determination Of the founders ITO
beat Satan in each and all Of his
lairs :" therefore, "For the common de-
fense and for the general welfare
should the classical languages be
taught at the common charge"
One day during the early days OF
the revolution, the master (as the
teachers were called in those days).
q lOyaliSt. announced. as he dismissed
school, WARS begun and schools
done; deponite librOs," but the school
was soon re-opened, and when the
British evacuated Boston in March,
1776, the master went with them as
a prisoner. 'Tis said that In his day,
all that was required for admission
was 20 read few verses In the Bible.
School began at seven o'clock in the
morning in summer (eight o'clock in
winter) and ended at five in the after
noon. with a recess from eleven to one.
The present building, completed In
1850. was. at that time, "the largest
structure in America devoted to ed
ucationaI purposes, and the largest In
the world used as freepublic school"
1t contains 56 school rooms, each &C
commodaring 81 students.
1t is doubtful. indeed, IL any Other
