SCHOOL NOTES

Reports have just been received from w. P. Koepp, head of the com mercial department at Tucson high school that the commercial school con- test entered into by many high schools in the state has just come to suc- cessful close.
 The subjects in which there were contests were first and second year shorthand, first and second year bookkeeping, penmanship, spelling and typewriting.
 Although students were not sent from the Emerson Junior high school to take part in the contest, it is the plan of the superintendent to send typing team next year. There were at least 100 contestants from various parts of the state at the Tucson con- test this year, and some good records were made in typewriting. Esther Carpenter of Phoenix won the first year typing contest, at 51 words a minute, the machine used being an Underwood. Spencer Woodman, of Phoenix won the second year contest on an Underwood at 66 words min ute.
 These results have given a num- Der of the students at Emerson con- fidence that they will be able to make a very favorable showing, if Flag staff is represented at Phoenix next year. Through the suggestion of Mrs. F. E. Raymond, Pacific Coast manager of the Gregg Publishing Co.,, the students at the junior high school have very frequently been given one minute speed tests in typewriting, during which number of boys and girls have reached a speed of 70 words minute, and considerably better. Mrs. Raymond's suggestion was: "0ne-minute tests in shorthand and typewriting are interesting, ex- citing and helpful. It is easier to counteract Encouragement and arouse ambition, when you can point to some one feat done perfectly and rapidly"
 The May festival, formerly sched- uled for May 5, will be given on Tuesday afternoon, May 16 at the city park. The program will begin promptly at o'clock. The public is cordially invited to be present.
 On Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock the Emerson boys will play the Wins low high school ball team at Normal park. The game promises to be an interesting one, as the Emerson boys are anxious to capture this game from their opponents since the game played at Winslow two weeks ago proved favorable to the visiting team.
 The following four boys will get to take the trip to Phoenix to shoot in the Arizona Cadet Corps rifle match:
 Gen. Ave. Melvin Mccormick ...............39.S8 Clarence Johnson ......................39. .39.50 Ed Black .39.42 Joe Kinds ................................ .38.13
 The three highest averages will constitute the rifle team. All scores shot on the local range under the su- pervision of the coach are counted and tend to raise or lower the con- testant's general average. The com petition is keen for team positions. The fourth boy will get to make the trip to Phoenix along with the others and shoot in the individual matches but will not shoot in the team match.
 Emerson high ball team met the Arizona Central bank team last Sat urday in a five-inning game. The bankers are husky lads and play al fairly good game. Their hitting was good in the first inning, but weakened toward the last. Browning's offer ings were little hot for the Emer- son boys to bingle nicely. However, before the five innings were gone, our boys got in two runs. Browning seemed to weaken toward the last, while Yost,, as we all know, gets better all the time. The score was 8 to 2 in favor of the bankers. The game was an interesting one but did not last quite long enough.
