HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

On Wednesday, February %,
Mr.. M. S. Meeks spoke to the
High School Student body ON the
subject, "Why the Supreme Court
of the United States Should Have
the Power to Declare Laws I'm
constitutional" The subject
sounds rather dry, but Mr.. Meeks
speech was very interesting and
instructive.
On Friday evening, March 3rd
the High School Vaudeville was
presented at Liberty Hall. Every
student in the High School had
some part on the program. If at
tendance and applause are indica-
tive, it is perfectly certain that
the vaudeville was a success. 1t
should have been a success after
the time and energy which Miss
Powell had expended in getting it
ready for presentation.
The gross receipts amounted to
slightly over fifty dollars. The net
proceeds will be spent for pictures
for the High School building. We
thank the community for it's loyal
support.
