coNsoLIpATEp no. l SCHOOL

Consolidated No. / school Is still on
the job trying to make Arkansas, and
especiall- Randolph county, a better
place in which to live. We want to
see the boys and girls of this district
have the same chance as the boys and
girls of other districts. We realize
that the school board, teachers and
patrons are trying to make this possi-
Bile.
The ball game between our boys and
the PocahOntas team resulted in vic
tory for the Poca team. Our boys
were at a loss because some of them
have been out farming. At the close
of the first half the game stood 90.
When the final whistle blew the score
was 2-S in Poca's favor. The POca-
hontas boys are good sports. We like
to meet such boys as these ON the field
and can say we thought more of the
boys when they left than when they
came. We believe they can say the
same of us.
Prof. Myrt Bennett was a pleasant
visitor at our school Friday. We APP
preciate the nice things he said about
us.
The pupils making the highest grades
on the last examinations were as fol-
lows: 4th grade, Christine Laster
9TH grade, Velpo Smith; 9th grade,
Bertha Buckley; 7th grade, Helma
Jones; 8th grade, Opal Blackshear.
Harry Cox received an honor certi-
icate for the best department of any
one in school. Come on, Harry, we
believe in you.
A number OF the patrons attended
the ball game Friday afternoon. This
shows the same loyal spirit they have
always shown.
Our fifth grade class has organized
a debating club. Their first debate
was one of interest. Each division
showed up some able speakers.
We believe in fair play. When the
Great Scorer comes ii will not be what
you lost or won, but how did you play
the game.
Our advanced history class has COM
pleted the book and are doing some
splendid work in review.

his last days. Chief among these was DR..

known Indian agents that ever acted as a
guard for Uncle Sans red wardsSa man
of unflinching courage, thoroughly famil-

for the red man in seeing that he got
every ounce Of ratiOns promised by the
government. Writing in 1922 to a mutual
friend, DR.. McGillicuddy says:
California Joe and 1 became closely
acquainted in the spring Of 1870, when he
Joined the Black Hills expedition at Fort
Laramie as chief scout and guide. He was
by nature a scout, and thoroughly reliable.
He stood over six feet two had long, red
dish hair and whiskers; spare build, but
athletic; INDUCED in liquor occasionally,
but was never quarrelsOme, and was one
of the -best-knOwn scouts of his day. He
served with the expedition until we dis
banded in the fall at Fort Laramie.
"In the spring of 1876 he Joined the ex-
petition sent out to round up the hOStileS
under Sitting Bull, serving under the COM
mand Of General Crook. He rendered good
service to the end Of the campaign, which
resulted in the sO-called Custer massacre,
