Local High School is Building Social Center

1t is the intention of the board of educa-
ton and faculty of the local high school to
make the building more of place for social
gatherings than has heretofore been done. It
is planned to have some sort of social at the
school house at least once each month to be
given under the auspices of the teachers and
pupils The character of some of these socals
will be determined later, but they will be
planned on all occasions SO as to take care
of both old and young.
The young people of the town must have
some place where they can gather to have
good time and some of the older folks will
joy these occasions equally we'll. The school
building, and especially such where
there is ample room for entertainment, is the
place for such gatherings.
1t is planned at all times to have these
parties properly chaperoned by committee of
parents. Other committees will always be ap-
pointed to take care of the entertainment fea-
lures.
The first of these meetings has been
planned for on Friday night October oath. 1t
will take the form of dance for both old and
young. The Frisco orchestra has been pro-
cured to furnish the music. lunch will be
served by the lunch committee and general
good time is planned for ALL An admission of
SOC per couple will be charged to help pay for
the orchestra. Any money earned in this way
will be put into fund to be used by the
school for whatever purpose they see fit.
We hope that everyone will turn out and
make these socials a success. Some of the
older folks especially should turn out and have
a good time together. Everybody BOOST. $50

THEOUTDQORS

PRESIDENT .I.NV.L.A
Brer Bunny.

Rabbit hunting time is near.
The first frosts are beginning to
touch the leaves, and the deep
grasses of the little brushy swamp
holes that the cotton-tail loves so
well are sagging.
Hunting the cotton-tail is,
think, more widely practiced than
any other kind of hunting. The
rabbit hunter is an ever-present
figure Of the fields and ridges, in
all Of the middle states. Just as
the bass is the game fish of the
people" so is the rabbit the game
animal of the people. And this
is casting no reflections on the
bunny. 1t takes an animal that
really amounts to something to
gain the attention of his majesty
the American hunter.
And the cotton-tail is a table
delicacy. Of course the bunny gets
better as winter comes on, and is
at his best in January. While
there is a good deal of sport in
rabbit shooting in the fall, when
the little white tail hobs so mer-
rily and so confusingly through
the grasses, think winter hunt
ing is the best. / know of no bet
ter sport than to go out after g
deep snow and chase Mr.. Rabbit
through it, pelting him with the
little rifle as he slowly leaps along
Then, too, come the bright moon.

are out in force and when stalk.
ing and shooting Dummies with g
little rifle is a sport of kings
Whoever said that the rabbit is g
boys quarry was not a hunter
Or perhaps it is a boys quarry fol-
that is one of the great things
about the outdoors, that it is all
boys play, and all mans play, at
the same time. Every sportsman
has lot of boy blood in his veins
The best thing about rabbit
hunting is that it is in no immed-
late danger of stopping for want
of game. The prolific qualities of
rabbits are well known, and it is
certain that if hunters ever shoot
rabbits down toward the vanishing
point, rest of a year or two will
bring them up to full war
strength again.
But I hope rabbit hunting will
become more and more matter
of small bore rifles and pistols,
and less a matter of shot guns.
