ETA L1 R iMENT \.WEEK IS OBSERVEE i ee s's Inaugurated Firsi "neral Campaign of Kind in Service. Without the Postaervice, business Would languish In a day, and be at a standstill in a week. Pubilc opinion .would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred or prejudice only would flourish, and narrow-nindedness thrive. It is the biggest distinctive business In the world and it coies nearer to the Innermost interests of a greater nuni. ber of Inen and women than any other JI Institntion on earth. No private busi. 2iess, however widespread, touches so U ' lives so often or sharply; no '11 reaches into so many souls, " rs so many pulses, has so nIny n beings dependent on its mini. ...&dons.

Thd closing exercises consisted of nothing more than the awarding of prizes, two songs and a few closing remarks by the principal. There is .a decided improvenents in each department be. sides the improvement in other lines pertaining to athletics and other school activities. The following is a list of the pupils winning prizes offered in our school: Spelling-Veron McWhorter, sixth grade; Inez Holliday, seventh grade; Veldee McWhorter, eighth grade. Be havior-Gert'rude Brown, Erjcnest Johnson and Ralph Finley. Our ball team has made a very splendid record this year. Although it has met sonic of the best equipped and best trained teams in Anderson and Pickens counties, it hasn't lost a game. The boys have made them selves a record worthy to be proud of. We consider our victory over the Liberty high school a very important on - as their team has lost only to us. However, sonic of our most cherished victories were won on An derson county filIds. W, defeated the splendid Walker-McElmoyle team by a decisive score of 6 to 1. The Melton team also suffered anl over whelming defeat at our hands. ut of all our victories, we cherished the one over the Denver school most. This team has not been beaten in Anderson county, and naturally, there was a vast deal of rivalry manifested when the champions of Anderson county were met by the "hickory" nine from Pickens. The score was 11 to 4. The following is the Flat Rock lineup: Veldee McWhorter, pitcher; Clark Young, catcher; Lang Smith, first base. Vernon McWhorter, second base; Ralph Hiamlin, third base; Ben 0. Powell, shortstop; Vincent Mc Whorter, right field; Arthur Holliday, center field; Henry Smith, left field; Raymond Ellenburg, substitute. Wa tcr Jacks: Tommy Fowler and Veron McWhorter.
