young women and men Of tomorrow.
The Keytesyille school has made
wonderful progress this year, and the
following tells little Of the work.
There are some few parents who
have kept abreast of the years work;
there is a woefully small list of
school visitors for the year 1922,
and the Courier hopes that those who
judge the school by the progress
their own children have made, will
take time to read THE little history
ette of progress up to now.
Music
The music department has done
some work along both vocal and in
strumental lines. About AZ students
first joined the chorus, but few
have dropped by the wayside for va
rious reasons. Still 35 are working
away, trying to achieve musical con-
tinuity from different degrees of mus
ical ability. Special work has been
done with quartettes, trios, and
duets.
The orchestra has added several
members to their number. They are
working to become more efficient and
to increase the ability Of each mem
ber.
Both departments have stood ready
to serve the community at any time
they could.
Girls Basket Ball Team
The Girls Basket Ball team was
[organized soon after the opening of
school last fall and was composed of
the following girls, with Miss Hut
cheson as coach.
Mary Gordon, captain, Dorothy
Richardson, Mary Bennett, ALA Mae
4 Latham, Irene Carter, Frances Wood,
Lola May Nix, Marguerite Bunton.
OF this number four were on the
championship team of the previous
year.
For this reason the team had every
hope Of a second championship. They
were successful in winning each and
every game until they met Bruins
wick high school for the last game
of the season. This they lost there
by allowing the championship to be
carried off by our neighboring school.
The girls played good, clean basket
ball during the entire season and al
though they could not quite attain
the desired goal, they were good
sports and played fair to the last
and have every right to be proud Of
their years record.
/ The Debating Team
Debating needs no apology. 1t is
/ a fine thing to be able to outpoint
your rivals in athletics, it is no less
fine to outpoint him intellectually on
the platform. Realizing that one OF
the most essential arts in everyday
| life is to be able to speak in pub
Lie, an effort was made early in the
season to organize debating club
The organization was made on Sep
tember "a, at which time Dorothy
Richardson was elected president and
Preston Richards secretary and treas
urer Of the club.
| Dhe club held its first regular meet
ling the first of October, at which time
| Miss Moss, who had charge Of the
Organization, talked on the essentials
| of debating. She impressed the
twelve club members with the fact
that to debate successfully requires a
| good stock of general information
some definite knowledge of history
and economics, patience, hard work
constant practice in speaking and
stick-to-itiveness..
i The club met weekly through the
fall season. At each meeting, one OF
two debates were held. Upon the
retaliation that the club contained
some good material, Keytesville High
School added her name to the state
i debating league. This league i:
composed Of all high schools Of the
