The student body and members o.
the faculty OF the Dawson high school
take this means to express their APP
probation to the citizens of Terrell
county for the loyal support they have
given the. school in athletics and va
rious other ways Especially do we
wish to thank those who took the
Ashburn football boys into their
homes. May we, in all modes OF sport
and life, come. up to your highest eX-
ectations.-Dawson High School
The send-off program for the col
lepe boys and girls had to be called
off. due to the great number who had
already entered their schools. Next
wear the exercises will be planned tor
an earlier date. and large number
will be expected to attend.
Experiments in chemistry have been
resumed by the senior class. Due to
the lack of proper equipment and ma
terials the experimental part OF the
study has heretofore been omitted, but
the material which arrived recently has
enabled the class to make minor eX-
periments. 1t is hoped that in few
DAYS the laboratory will be complete,
and all classes will be resumed. Among
the most important additions to the
modern laboratory will be a micro
scope, an instrument OF very great
value and without which no labora-
tory is complete The instrument was
eift of the Parent Teacher Associa
ton.
Senior Notes by Louise Bridges.
One occasion that is anticipated
with great interest during the entire
week Especially by those who do not
have to participate in it) is the meet
ing of the senior literary society, held
each Friday. All members feel that the
society is very beneficial. The pro-
gram of the society Friday was most
interesting. Roll call was answered
with literary quotations, which were
very good The next number created
much interest, being a spelling match,
on modern authors names. Here, al
though it is not an honor if the old
saying ignorance IS bliss" had held
true many seniors would have been
blistered all over The interest was
heightened when Jake" Grubbs gave
some humorous sayings. Every mem
Der of the class had a hearty laugh
over these witticisms for they made
all forget studies and hard work.
The program was, concluded with a
debate, the subject being: Resolved,
That Slang Is More Impressive Than
Good English" Affirmative. Louis FL
lis and Wilbur Zimmerman; negative,
Louise Bridges and Frances Clay. The
judges decided in favor of the mega
tive The next meeting will be held
