On Thursday evening Of last week
the annual Warren high school athle-
tic banquet was held at the home Of
Supt. and Mrs. G. Holmquist. A de-
liciOus three course dinner was served
which proved to be more appetizing
than eggs and toast, the usual diet
which the coaches rule the athletes
to eat.
After the eats were served, pro-
gram was given. Mr.. Collette acted
as POSTMASTER in his usual genial
manner. Speeches were called for
from the past year captains, Arnold
Lindstrand and Ernest Hanson.
Charles Tullar favored the athletes
with an inspiring Violin solo. Mr.. e.
A. Johnson, one Of the coaches then
praised the boys for the work they
had done in helping him make his
team strong one: After his speech
Mr.. Holmquist gave fine talk and
presented the sweaters and mono
grams. Sweaters we're presented to
the seniors who have won letters in
football and basket bah. The seniors
receiving sweaters are Arnold Lind
strand, Ernest Hanson, Chester Mac
Arthur. Ellis Truxell, Quintin Mel
gard, William Campion, Roy SEVERN
and Oliver Mattson. Letters in foot
ball were presented to Ernest Han
son, Chester Macarthur, Quintin Mel
gard, Oliver Mattson, Melvin Ander-
son, Melville Sjostrand, Ralph Stev-
ens,- Cameron Quistgard, Clarence
Hjelle. Basket ball letters were pre-
scented to Cameron Quistgard, Arnold
Lindstrand, William Campion, Clar-
ence Hjelle, Chester Tullar.
Captains for next years teams were
elected, Clarence Hjelle for the FOOT
ball team and Cameron Quistgard for
the basket ball team. Prospects are
looking bright for next year with
many letter men and a number of the
freshmen.
A vote of appreciation was extended
to Superintendent and Mrs. Holmquist
for opening up their home for the
boys. as.s*@s ~f.5 5' r.

There is a scarcity in the business
office of high-priced men and women

Of his brain power. Suppose you are
twice as capable as the average man
you are using only twenty per cent
of your maximum power, only one
fifth Of your greatest possibilities.
Eighty-fve per cent Of the men il
this country are earning only twenty
five dollars or less per week. Ninety
two per cent of those in business fail
between the ages Of forty and fifty.
Ninety-fve per cent have no money al
the age of sixty. Our business is to

ARCADIA HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

On Monday morning for chapel Mr.
Wagner gave a brief report of his en-
joyable trip to New ORLEANS, making
special mention Of the State Teach
ers' Association. This being one OF
the best attended Of any ever held
in the state. Every program was made
interesting as we'll as highly instruct
i've. The addresses given by DR.. NJ.
s. Pittman of the Michigan State
Normal and Mr.. Magill, Field Secre'
tary for the National Educational AS
ISOLATION, were we'll worth the effort
put forth to hear them.
The program of greatest interest to
people of this parish was that Of the
Rural School Department, the presi.
dent Of which was Supt. E. H. Fisher
For two years or more Mr.. Fisher
has had charge Of this feature of the
work of the association and has taken
4 great deal of interest in it. This
being one Of the lines of work in his
own parish where it has been very
successful. In the opening address
of this meeting Mr.. Fisher spoke SO
ably in behalf Of this phase Of educa
ton in Louisiana that he reflected
great credit to himself, to Bienville
parish where he has worked so faith
fully for SO many years and also tc
the cause Of education in Louisiana.
The first number on this program
was an address by Prin. J. P. Wagner
on "The New Course Of Study from
the Teachers Point Of View" With
years Of college training followed by
the rich experiences Of a successful
teacher and principal. Mr.. Wagner
was fully capable of discussing this
subject and did it so we'll that he re-
ceiyed the highest approval Of those
who heard him. The school and the
town feel justly proud Of their
representative to the State Teachers
Association and appreciate his efforts
in doing his very best on this great
occasion, as we'll as on every other
that has for it's ultimate result the
improvement Of conditions for the boys
and girls Of Arcadia and Bienville par.
ish.
The boys have perfected the organ.
ization Of their base ball team with
the following officers: L. G. Aycock
captain; Ralph. Golf, secretary and
treasurer; Mr.. Wagner, manager
Boys are always interested in base
ball and all they need is the proper
amount of encouragement and they
will get the practice they need, and
best Of all the best and most whole
some exercise for them. They want
the people Of the town, who have
donated so literally to clip equip the
team, to know how very much this
is appreciated by everyone of them
The interest taken by the town in this
| and similar school activities is deeply
| appreciated by Mr.. Wagner and his
teachers.
