Tests Graded

year have received the results of
the Crary American History test
administered on June l, and spOn-
sored by the Board of Education.
Three students made very high
grades by answering 124 to 144 of
the questions correctly. High
grades were made by forty-six
students by giving correct answers
to Ill to 1913 questions.
Average grades on the test be-
longed to eighty-four of the stu
dents by answering SO to 10 ques-
tions right. Forty-four students
made below average grades and
five scored very low on the test.
Game Tonight
This evening at 7:30 EST, the
Highlanders of Southern with 2-1
record, will meet the St Francis
Trojans at MorgantoWn.
1t is hoped that large follow
ing from Oakland and vicinity will
be on hand TO cheer the High
landers on to what is hoped TO be
their third victory of the season.
Several games are scheduled for
Friday night in MorgantoWn and
officials would be hard to obtain
for the game and probably not
much of a crowd would be present
so both schools agreed to play the
game tonight.
Attended School
w. Kenneth Johns, principal, at
tended an education in Family FL
nance Workshop at the University
of Wisconsin this summer as a
member of the Maryland State De-
partment team with Royd Mahaf-
fey, superintendent of schools in
Wicomico county, acting as chair
man.
The report they made was sub
mitted to the State Department.
The department is going to distrib-
ute it to all Maryland schools.
Items discussed at the workshop
were Budgeting, Taxation, Insur-
ance, Loans, Investments, Purchas-
ing, and other business subjects.
DoxoIogy To Be Sung
Before each lunch period, the
DoXology will be sung according to
Mr.. Johns, principal, since the bal
loting revealed that students felt
it should be sung.
The Doxology was sung before
each lunch period last year and it
didn't receive much support so
the officials of Southern decided
to have the students vote to see if
they wanted it.
Letters To Be Sent
Graduates of Southern, who are
attending college will receive a
letter from Mr.. Johns giving them
several suggestions on how to adj
lust to their new surroundings.
, The letter will be mailed to them
as soon as possible, according to
the office staff.
Miscellaneous
Mr.. William Watson and his
Junior high football team will
travel to Elkins tomorrow to face
the junior high team from there.
