anxiety.
Two periods every week are de-
voted to English Literature. We be-
gan with a study of England at the
time of Queen Anne. To each pupil
the chairman, who had been previous
ly elected, assigned a report, so that
each one contributed to our "Notes
in Literature" We found the "Sir
Roger De-Coverely Papers" intensely
interesting after we understood the
spirit of the age in which Addison
wrote. Next we gave our attention
to the beginnings of English Litera-
ture. This early Anglo-Saxon period
was quite a contrast to the one just
studied. We have now traced the de-
velopment of English Literature up
to the time Of Elizabeth. Although
we were sorry to leave King Alfred,
Miss Getty, our English teacher, says
that Shakespeare is even better, so
we are looking forward with pleasure
to the next few weeks when we shall
study, first the development of the
dramma, then Shakespeare, which
will, we hope, prepare us to fully ap-
preciate his dramas, one of which we
will study in detail.
The Freshman class is studying

ical and to letter writing.
The Sophomores are studying the
same english text used by the Fresh
men, but are emphasizing chiefly the
development of clear and forceful
English, with special emphasis upon
the narrative.
History
We, as members of the Freshman
and Sophomore classes, begun our

might understand how primitive man
lived. Following this we studied

news AND NOTES FROM
FRLENDSYILLE HICRSCHOOL
Prepared for Publication by Mr..
Owen Friend, Principal of
The School.

The year 1924-1925 has brought
with it the period Of greatest growth
in the history of Friendsville High
School, and as a result we have been
experiencing some unusually over
crowded conditions in our classes and
in our school building. The enroll
ment this year has been almost fifty
percent greater than during the year
1923-1924, and is still increasing.
This increase has been due in part to
the fact that a greater number of
courses are offered this year; and be-
cause the population of Friendsville
has been increasing somewhat during
the past two or three years.
Choice of Courses Offered
The courses given this year are
three in number, Academic, Vocation
al and General. By having three
courses it is possible for a pupil to
select course that more nearly fits
their individual needs, and thus de-
rive greater benefit from their school
work. In addition, if pupil fails in
any one subject for one year, it is an
easier matter to make up the lost
work in following years, because of
the greater number of elective sub
jects offered. The Academic course
requires fifteen academic units, with
one additional unit for graduation, a
unit being the credit received for
carrying satisfactorily, a years work
IN any one subject. The Vocational
course requires at least four units of
Vocational subjects, with the remain
ing twelve required units similar to
the requirements Of the Academic
and General courses; with the excep-
ton that the Vocational and General
courses require no foreign languages.
and only one year of mathematics for
graduation.
English
In our English Composition the
pupils of the Junior and Senior class
es have written one exposition
week. The first was measured by the
National Scale and we are eager to
know the score we just made and the
score that will measure us at the end
OF the year. So much interest was
shown in these expositions that it
was easy to go from that to argu-
mentation. We held our first debate
this week, and it will be followed by
bi-weekly debates of similar nature.
Every week is "Good English
Week" with us, and the student who
makes the most mistakes during the
week entertains the class with a song.
Needless to say, everyone looks for
ward to Tuesday, our "Song Day."
with eagerness, not unmixed with

ton, poultry housing and construc-
ton, selection and breeds of swine,
care Of the brood sow and litter, win
ter feeding Of beef cattle, and the Sc
lection and breeds Of sheep, in the
class room work.
In the Farm-Shop work we have
had practice in the use of carpenters
tools; building food hoppers, egg
testers, feed scoops and the like. In
structions and practice in rope work
has been given; splicing, common and
handy knots and ties for the farm
and home. We have also a number Of
rope halters for young stock, which
are handy, serviceable and inexpen-
sive for the farmer.
All the work which we have been
given, or will be given in the future,
is Of as practical a nature as possible.
We try to give the pupils who are
taking Vocational Agriculture some
thing that they can take home and
put into practice at once. At the
same time we try to give theory back
Of each operation which we teach.
Vocational Home Economics
AS this is the first year for Home
Economics in the Friendsville High
School, we are erdeavoring to lay a
foundation upon which we can do
more advanced work next year.
We have completed to date this
year the study and preparation of
eggs, milk, cheese, vegetables and
fruits. In each of these we have pre-
pared various sample dishes. Just
before Christmas we took up the
study Of bread, cake and candy. We
not only learn how to prepare food,
but we endeavor to learn the most
efficient values and usages of all
foods we prepare.
At present we are taking up the
study of meats; the cuts of beef, pork
and mutton, and the preparation of
each cut.
We also expect to complete a short
course on table service and menu
making before the end of the first
form

Extra CurricuIar Activities

Among the Extra Curricular acti-
vities developed during the present
year are the High School Athletic
Association and the High School
Literary Societies. The High School
Athletic Association has, through
the hearty cooperation of parents,
teachers and pupils, made it possible
to raise money for uniforms, pay car
hire to and from the various High
School centers where games were
played with this school, and have re-
naming a liberal amount to be used
for library purposes. In the soccer
and volley ball events this season the
Friendsville boys and girls made a
very creditable showing, considering
that this was the first year we were
members of the Garrett County Ath-
letic League. We are looking forward
to very successful season next year,
both in soccer and volley ball, as the
boys and girls have developed a very
fine spirit of craftsmanship and fair
play in their dealings with other
schools, and have showed marked
progress in learning the technique of
the games.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1925-02-05
Literary Societies

Our two literary societies, the Ser
vice and the Adelphians, have arous-
ed much interest and friendly rivalry
among the pupils. Each society has
selected favorite author from whose
writings frequent readings are given
in programs rendered alternately by
the two societies. These programs
consist chiefly of musical numbers
and readings, but we intend to ar
range an inter-society debate soon.
This competition reaches its height
in our weekly paper, produced alter
nately by the societies and read be-
fore the student body every Friday.
From these papers the pupils, espec-
tally the editorial staff, not only gain
some good ideas of journalism, but
also acquire knowledge of current
events.
