M. & NJ. School Notes

M. & M. high school boys and
girls staged the first physical edu-
cation and health demonstration
program that has ever been given in
this vicinity, last Thursday evening
from 1880 to $3.50. The bleachers
and all available standing spaces
in the gymnasium were crowded
with spectators.
At exactly 1880 group of boys,
skipping to the music played by FL
mer Henderson's amplified victrola,
traversed the gymnasium and
each taking girl by the arm, they
danced the Virginia reel and a
polka. They had scarcely left the
floor when a group of girls entered
for class drills.
In rapid succession these exhibi-
tions were performed: Marching
boys; island bali, girls; group
games, boys; volley ball, girls; vol
ley. ball. boys; deck tennis, girls;
and all at one time in different
parts of the gym-ping-pong, wrest-
ling, and boxing by the boys.
A surprise exhibition was given
when Delbert Townsend and Wayne
Next was basketball by the girls
and basketball by the boys.
Then came the final and most
spectacular featS of the whole pro-
gram, viz: Tumbling, many back
bending stunts, cart-wheeling, and
pyramid building by seven girls;
and breath-taking exploits perform
ed by Thomas Butterfield and his
associate corps of tumblers, who
presented the best amateur display
Of skill that has been witnessed
here for long time.
The tact and excellent ability of
Mr. Joseph A. Rich, and Miss Mil
dred M. Ray, physical education and
health directors, in this phase of
their work was very clearly shown
by the way that the girls and boys
performed. Their work and achieve
ment is thoroughly appreciated by
all
Everyone was so well pleased
with the demonstration that they
surely will attend next years pro-
gram, which will contain still newer
and better performances, although
the established precedent of this
year will be difficult to excel.
M. & MS scholarship team will
journey to Athens Saturday, where
they will participate in the district
scholarship tests. Results will be
published later

BODY OF NEWSMAN IS SOUGHT AGAIN

Harpswell, Me, July 3l - New at tempts were made today to recover the body of Edward Joseph Duffy, 30, Washington newsman and dean of journalism at George Washington University. He drowned in rought surf off Bailey's Island in Casco Bay while taking dip Friday night.
 Authorities said the body probably was held fast by glue-like mud.
 Dr. Riborg Mann said 1t was cus- tomary for his on-in-law and two or three others to swim at night, but that on Friday, Duffy left the house about 10:30 p. m., and said he was going swimming alone.
 Though the family searched the island when Duffy failed to return at midnight 1t was not until the fol- lowing morning that his clothes were found on the outer beach, a section bufreted by wild surf and swept by a treacherous undertow.
 Duffy, his wife the former Ad- reinne Mann. and their only son Michael, 8, had been visiting at Dr. Mann's cottage for a week. A native of Washington and graduate of Gen. tral High school there, Duffy became a cub reporter on the Washington Times when IA years old. He edited the college newspaper at Dartmouth College and upon graduation became staff reporter on the Washington Times.
 Later he served on the staff of the Associated Press and more recently handled special assignments and taught journalism. Both his parents are dead.
