High. The score was 11-23 in
favor of Belington High.
The musical given Friday night
showed great deal of work in pre-
paration, but was very poorly at
tended. The patrons who did attend
the musical showed fine cooperat-
i've spirit with the High School work
The Seniors gave the first of the
series of High School parties Satur-
day Night. A good time was re-
ported by all who attended. The
main features of the evening were
the new games which were intro
duced and the banquet which was
served at ten o'clock.
Monday morning chapel exercis-
es were conducted by Mrs. Deckard
who after devotional services, a.
greeably entertained us with a vo-
cal solo entitled "Just a Wearyin'
For You," and serval readings,
which were enjoyed by all. Ansun-
usual amount of High School Spir-
it was shown in the singing and
general response. We wish that
more chapel periods could be made
as interesting as this one was.
Monday afternon the orchestra
from the Chamber of Music of
Wesleyan College entertained the
High School with serveral of their
best selections.
This same orchestra gave SPLEEN
did musical program Monday night
at the. M. E. Church, which was
well attended. We hope other or
CARNATIONS win awaken to their
duty to the community. The Met
hodist Epworth League is league
of which the People of Belington
should certainly be proud.

at the home of one of their number
