Well, here wo are again. Hi-Notes makes its appearance again after an absence of oxer a year. This time we are publishing it through the courtesy of The Barnwell People-Sentinel, Mr. Davies offering our school one page each month. This gives us about the same space as the original paper which was published in the past. We hope to make the news contained on this page reflect the spirit and person ality of the Dunbarton High School. We would like to enlist the sympathy and cooperation of the patrons, pupils and faculty of our school and com munity in making this page both in teresting and informing. The editor of Hi-Notes takes this opportunity also of thanking Mr. Davies of Tho People-Sentinel for his kindness and consideration in offering us this space in his paper. a 1 V ADVERTISING. A copy of this issue of The Barn well People-Sentinel, which contains Hi-Notes, will be put in the homes of all the patrons of th<» Dunbarton High School. We know that the merchants in Dunbarton would like to get their advertisements on the page with the Dunbarton news, and they will be giv en an opportunity with the next issue. I know that every m<«rchant in Dun barton has a message relative to his stock of goods that he would like to tell the people in this community. To write k circular letter and put in each home would cost a great deal more than a display ad. in these columns, and would bring no greater results. Let’s all pull together for our school and our community, remembering that it pays to advertise. S. I. A. On the Job. The School Improvement Associa tion of the Dunbarton High School is doing good work under the leadership of the following officers: President—Mrs. A. E. Corley. First Vice President—Mrs. T. W. Dicks.

Mr. King has aroused new interest in our chapel exercises. .We all n ize the need of better singing during thci devotional period. Since the au ditorium is a new addition to our com paratively young school, we have not yet learned to put unified effort into making a success of our music. Of course, it is far from bad, but we are making it our best and plan then to improve our best. Each day the girls meet to practice songs, both new and old. This new class is already show ing vdry satisfactory results and prov ing that Dunbarton High is not satis fied with doing things the easiest way when that is other than the best way.

Those of the school and community who are particularly interested in our orchestra would have felt vastly en couraged after a glance into the school auditorium on Thursday night of this week. The whole orchestra gathered with tunfd instruments and kcien minds for a good practise. A truly good practise it was, too—es pecially for the first of the year. Mr. H. K. Neeley is the director again— of course—and we are glad to welcome a new member, Lessie Dicks, pianist, who takes th<i place left vacant/when Louise Williams finished last year. All of the other members have already learned to work splendidly together and we are sure that bt/ore very long our orchestra will be ready to give us some real music. Much interest is being manifested, not only by the en tire student body, but by the commun ity as well.

The Agriculture Class of tho Dun barton High School organized their chapter of the Future Palmetto Farm ers a few days ago. The purpose for which this organization was formed is as follows: (1) To promote vocational agri culture in the public schools of South Carolina. (2) To create more interest in in telligent agricultural pursuits in the various counties of the State. (3) To create and nurture a love of country life. ^ (4) To provide for students in vo cational agriculture! through State ag ricultural and athletic contests, vaca tion tours, father and son banquets and the like. (5) To' promote thrift. (6) To afford a medium for coop- LOOKING TO BASKETBALL Our school is so small that we find it imposible to put out a football team. Consequently, our chief sport in the athletic line is basketball. We have put out a boys’ team and a girls’ team in the past, and we hope to do the same this year. Several star players were lost from both teams by graduation last year, but the coaches feel that with the new material coming up, we shall have a team that will reflect credit upon a school our size. On the girls' team both forwards of last y<*ar graduated. It will be neces sary to develop two new ones from the squad. This is the biggest problem confronting Mr. King, the coach. The rest of the team remains just about as strong as the team last year. The boys suffered a morn heavy loss in the graduation of players like Olen Rountree, Aubrey Rountree and Chiles Swett. Coach Neeley has a hard task cn his hands devcJoping a first team this y«ttr from the scrubs of last year. Just what he can do remains to be seen. He has always had a good team bia Thuisday and Friday attending the Superintendents’ Conference. He will probably return after the pro gram Friday night. He is accompan ied by Supt. H. J.

Two of our faculty members are showing us what a vivid imagination is good for. Did you know that, to one romantically inclined, our own little home town. Dunbarton, is vastly like Venice? So, at least, some of the faculty find it. On last Friday evening Misses Bates and McElveen, balng evidently quite bored by the dignified and distinctly monotonous routine of every day duties, turned their minds to other subjects. In gleeful spirits they set out in search of adventure—and found it. A pass- The freshman class of Dunbarton High School met on Wednesday, Oct. 10th, for the purpose of electing of ficers.
