School News
The final rounds of the district
eleven debate league were held at
Athens, Monday afternoon. Ports
mouth came out the winner The
competing schools were Pennsville,
Stockport, Bartlett, Chesterhill and
Portsmouth. Portsmouth was put
in district eleven because no schools
in that section are debating. We
can boast of having the most con
sistent small school district in the
state Chesterhill and some of the
nearby schools have been members
of the Ohio State Debating League
for @ years.
The junior class gave the assem-
bly, program last week The holidays
and birthdays of February was the
topic around which their program
was made.
OF course basketball is the topic
for general conversation around
Chesterhill this week The fact
that both teams won in the tourna-
ment has brought solidarity of
thought and interest not often ex-
perienced. After the games Satur-
day night the Chesterhill business
men and boosters gave the teams a
sumptuous banquet at the Rainbow
restaurant. May we take this op-
portunity to express the schools
for the community's
loyal support. Let us continue this
loyal enthusiasm for all the en-|
deavors of the community. Make
our aim: make good community
better"
