Hats off to the Star, staunch friend
of the o. H. S. The kind interest OF
the Star makes it possible for US TO
place before the public the happenings
of our school, by granting US free use
of it's columns.
In publishing each week these bits
of news our purpose is to let those
friends and supporters of the school
know in an informal manner of the
brighter and darker sides (if there
be a darker one) of our life in the
Ocala high school. Again, it is for our
own fun and enjoyment that each
week we plan to jot down such occur
rences and puns as can be gathered
together in that time. none Of which
should be taken too lightly or too
seriously. 1t is to be something OF a
diary of school life, and in succeeding
wears it will, in reflective moments,
refresh the memory of pleasant days
spent in the o. H. S. But above all
else we hope to bring about better
and clearer understanding between the
supporters of and students of the U.
III. S., and to show our appreciation OF
that which the taxpayers of the city
and county are doing for US. II In
reading these weekly reports any one
is afforded pleasure, then our feeble
efforts have accomplished their pur-
pose, in part at least.
Let's hope the Turkish situation i'm
proves before Thanksgiving.

It is a seemingly established annual
custom for a part of the o. II. S. fac

If in this years senior play there is
any occasion for a fog horn, that
place will, by common consent, be
given to the voice of Lindsay Troxler
When the prevailing wave of dengue
leaves the o. H. S. in peace, we car

A meeting of all boys planning t.
try their hand at basketball was hell
at recess Thursday morning, in tn
Math. room with the purpose of elect
ing a manager for the prosperity
team. When the meeting was adjourn
ed Reese Hunnicutt had been electe
to fill that position. Reese is ais
manager of the football team and
was probably his efficient managemer
of that organization which prompte
the basketball aspirants to elect hir
their manager. Among the compare
lively large number of boys preser
were such stars of last years team a
Jean Hall, Malcolm Ferguson and LIE
Lewis. With proper coaching there
no reason why the material presente
should not be developed into a winnin
team.
The friends of Winnie Crosby al

Is the strongest team that Ocala
put out in great many years. Att
getting away to bad start, the Wi
