SCHOOL NOTES
(By Miss Mary Helen key)

(By Miss Mary Helen key)
A gloom OF sadness was cast upon
the school last Thursday morning
when Miss Alys Bond, teacher OF the
Home Economics Department, recelv-
ed the sad news OF the death OF her
father, who lived in Monroe. We
sympathize most keenly with Miss
Bond in her great sorrow. Others OF
our number, not so many months ago
experienced the same sadness and
, know full we'll the sorrow and lone
Illness that has come into her lie. And
| as school we wish to express to Miss
Bond our love and our sympathy.
The celebration on November 18th
was attended and enjoyed by the larg-
| est crowd ever assembled in Arcadia.
The best feature of the day was the
splendid parade which would have re-
Elected great credit upon large city.
The section of the parade which was
composed OF the floats from eight OF
the high schols of the parish was
especially attractive. The ready re-
Spouse OF the high schools to the re-
guest Of Mrs. J. P. Wagner for these
floats proved as nothing else could
have the real schol spirit of the par
ish and also, gave public expression
to the interest in the American Legion.
This part Of the parade was under the
direction OF Mr. Wagner and came in
the following order:
First, Saline high school, which rep
resented in a most appropriate man
ner the services OF the Red Cross dur
ing the war. Next came Castor high
school bearing high the Goddess OF
Liberty among appropriate and artistic
decoration. Then came Jamestown
high school, showing we'll the trial OF
| John Smith i'll Jamestown in 1917.
Bienv;,le high school followe with the
Liberty Bell, made beautiful with
the artistic arrangement of the ma
tiona colors, and protected by two
! small but loyal citizens. Next in line
was Bryceland high schoo! bearing
| the Stars and Stripes on the brow OF
a battleship that was manned by
sailor lads Ringgold high school in
green and white, bore aloit the mes
| sage of Peace on earth and goodwill
| to nlan," and all else that peace brings
| to the world. The Goddess Of Peace
and others with her were appropriate
ly and beautifully dressed. Gibsland
high school was also represented by a
! battleship carrying on deck sailor
lads, Lastly came the Arcadia high
| school representing ISLANDERS Field"
| The field was all green and covered
| with red peoples, among which were
! placed three white crosses decorated
with poppy wreaths, in the midst OF
| the field was the angel, on the front of
| the float were four little girls dressed
to represent peoples. These floats
| were judged on appropriateness and
beauty. Arcadia high school was the
proud winner of the first prize, $1,000.
The second prize of $500 was awarded
to the Jamestown high school,
The girls basket ball team and
Pep Club were represented on the
parade by a float in school colors-
yellow and black. The boys and girls
who were on the float sang school
songs and gave yells.
The afternoon was devoted to
athletics. Beginning at 30 were the
basket bail games. Perhaps the best
girls basket ball game ever played on
this court was played between the
teams from Athens high school and
Arcadia. The score was II 70 9 in
favor of Athens. The boys basket ball
games between Gibsland and Castor,
also Ringgold and Bienville were won
