 And others call it God. Like tides on a crescent sea-beach. When the moon is new and thin, Into our hearts high yearnines
 Come yelling and surging in,- Come from the mystic ocean,

Putnam Highs team was sadly out elassed at Willimantie last Friday, los ing by the score of l02 to c. Putnam didn't play such a terrible game, but Windham played all around it. The end runs and forward passes of the Windham team were too much for Putnam. The Putnam line held well, however. and there were few gains on line plays There were fifteen touch downs. and Windham was never com pelled 10 punt during the entire game. Burr kicked drop-kieks after twelve of the touchdowns. The first half saw seventy=five points scored, and in the second half. shortened by darkness, Windham got the rest.
 Athletic Association Prospers
 The treasurer of the athletic asso- citation. LeRov Thompson. Wednesday gave q report. which shows the condi- ton of the association. financially to be much better than at the first of the year. The school year was started with the association handicapped by a s250 debt Through money cleared above expenses on football, and hy large outside donations, it has been possible to pay off half of these bills, and this leaves the association in a considerably better condition
 Al a meeting of the athletic associa- ton Wednesday morning. 1t was stat ed that te date only sixty-four stu dents, less than quarter of the en- rollment of the school, have paid their association dues.
 It surely is nice to get an extra two days of vacation. and for once the teachers second the motion; all of them went to their homes to spend the holiday and week k-end.

NEW SPIRIT INFUSED
INTO GROVELAND BODY

GROVELAND, Fla, Aug. s.
Groveland Board of Trade, at its
regular monthly meeting, received
applications and accepted sixty
four new members into the organj-
zation. This is believed to be the
largest number of new members
ever received into a civic organ
ization in Florida at one meeting
at least Cleveland will boast of
the record until someone challeng-
es us.
In addition to receiving sixty
four new members there was an
attendance of. more than SO per
cent of the members Of the organ
ization at the meeting. The spirit
in which the pPon'a of Groveland
are going about their civic up
building, is unsurpassed and on ev-
cry hand one can see the develop
ment and progress in the town,
which is the result of concentrated
efforts on the part of its citizens.
