The Editors Eye

Pocahontas High School, during the
past few years, has had four boys on
its debating teams by the name of
Shivley These four boys, James, John,
Charley and Nixon, are sons of John
II. Shivley, James by former mar
riage and the latter three by the pres
ent Mrs. Shivley.
All four boys are far above the aver
age in intelligence and their selection
for the debating teams has always
followed a stiff competition with other
intelligent boys.
James, who now lives at Nolard,
though a very young boy when in the
local school, was one of the star de-
baters twelve or fourteen years ago.
John did his bit two and three years
ago and this year Charley and Nixon
are on the teams.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shivley have another
boy, Witt, who will soon he old enough
70 try for the debating teams and we
predict that he will make his malk
with his brothers.
