New Central High
School Proposed
Shore Road Municipalities May
Build AS Only Solution to
Problem Facing Them.

A proposed new central high school
for school districts surrounding Pleas
antville is gaining in favor. These
districts, including Somers Point, Lin
wood, Mortified, Absecon, Galloway
township and Egg Harbor township,
have been notified by officials of the
Atlantic City high school that after
this semester the school cannot ac-
commodate the number of pupils trans
ported to Atlantic City.
For a few years the high school pu-
pills Of Linwood,. Mortified, Absecon
and Egg Harbor township attended
the Pleasantville high school, but con
ditions became so crowded here that
they were compelled to matriculate to
Atlantic City.
The proposed school may be built
either in Mortified or on the Fox
tract adjoining Pleasanfville, the latter
place having preference. Henry M.
Gresham, superintendent of county
schools, and William Hauenstein, sec
rotary of the Egg Harbor township
board of education, are backing the
project.
MI. H~auenstein will take up the mat
ter with the officials of the other dis
tricts who are compelled to send stu
dents to Atlantic City, and try to en-
list their cooperation. Port Republic
is included in the group.

Melrose in the second game of the
season in Atlantic City, 10-5. AL
though Peterson struck out only one
hitter during the entire game, Melrose
found Pete's delivery very difficult to
solve. Three solid, drives to the out
field and three infield1 -Its were the
extent of Melrose offensive work. In
addition to twirling a strong game,
Peterson secured three safe hits in
the pinches, which aided materially in
the downfall of the Roses. In the
Fourth inning P~leasantville worked the

t o his defeat. Smith and Burns each
bagged three safe drives. Rockford
hit timely for Jeffries, his extra base
