Barnwell continued its victorious march Friday, October 12th by con quering tho Lexington High School 22-0. The game was played on the local field and was hard fought from whistle ,to whistle. Fumbles prevent ed Barnwell from scoring in the first period. Lexington nearly scored when a lineman scooped up Towles' fumble and raced up a clear field for a touch down. Towles oveitook him after a 30 yard run. Barnwell 0, Lexington 0. In the 'second period Barnwell scored after a blocked Lexington punt gave them the ball in scoring distance. Lexington seemed bound for a touchdown when the half ended. Barnwell also scored a safety in this period when the Lexington punter was tackled behind the goal limi Barnwell 8, Lexington 0. Barnwell seemed much improved in the third period, soon pushing over a touchdown. The extra point was made on a pass. Barnwell 15, Lex ington 0. Barnwell scored again in the fourth. Again the <,xtia point was made on a pass. The game ended Barnwell 22, Lexington 0.

The first issue of THE SUN DIAL was enthusiastically received by the pppils of the school. The pupils were justly proud of their fiist attempt in the field of journalism. The staff and the faculty advisor, Miss Boozer, worked hard and faithfully to make the paper a success. The entire school is now working for a paper belonging entirely to the school. This is our goal. To accomplish this goal the stu dent body and the patrons must co operate with the staff. If you have any material to place in the paper be sure and hand it in.

One of the conditions of the lease by the well-to-do New Eng lander stipulatos that a competent staff of white servants should be en gaged for his sojourn at this stately home. This servant question presents almost insurmountable difficulties.

October 19th, and came out on the long end of a 13 to 0 scoria The Saints flashed their only sustained drive of the game when they received and march ed straight to Barnwell's 15 yard line. There they fumbled and Ramwill took the ball straight down the field for a touchdown. Holland kicked the extia point. Barnwell scored again in the third period after another long drive. The RarnwidI defense was air tight the whok* -evoni half and the Saints never threatened. Final score—Barn well 13, Saint Matthews 0. Towles and the Birt boys were the big guns for Barnwell. Moore also deserves ispecial mention. The School Improvement Associa tion has held two meetings so far this year. The purpose of the first meet ing, which was held October 8th, was to inaugurate the membership cam paign. The officers of the association were appointed a committee to arrange the (kXails of the drive. At the second meeting of the year, which was held October 23rd. the membership drive was reported as practically completed. The people of the community did not fail to give their suport to the association In ita splendid work. Also, the members of the third gnuk. rendered a very inter esting and attractive health program. The little folks exhibited a great deal of ability together with splendid train ing. Some grade will present a program at every meeting of tho association in order to give the patrons an idea of the work that is done within the school. Misses Mood and Spann attended the Carolina-Citadel game on Novem ber 1, at the Orangeburg County Fair. Although there w-as no holiday ipven, a number of the students at tended tha Orangeburg County Fair •xUiring the past % v/eek. Misses Hazel Coleman and Pauline Boozer spent last we^-end with Miss . Boozer’s parents in Newberry. ’The Third Grade made the largest 'contribution to the Rul Cross fund to be sent Florida. Bamberg Also Taken In. Barnwell played its first game away fiom home Wednesday of Fair Week. Bamberg was the foreign territory invaded by the local boys. Minus the service of the Birt twins the- Barn well team was scored on for the first time of the season. Barnwell scored first on a long drive followed by a short pass. The try for goal was missed. Barnwell scored again on a long end run by Halford. Bamberg threw' a scare into the visitors when th<y scored twice in succession on passes. They w'ere threatening again on Barnwell’s 10 yard line at the beginning of the fourth period but lost the ball on downs. Barnwell started a 90 yard drive that ended in a touchdown. After that the result was never In doubt. The Barnwell boys pushed across two more counters making the score 30-13 in Barnwell’s favor. Assembly Program. At the begining of the year it was decided that a different grade should have chaige of the assembly program each Friday. The fira^grado to do thia waa the 10th grade. They gave a very inter esting and instructive program in celebration of Columbus Day. Following them the 2nd grade en tertained in assembly. They pre sented a well prepared program con sitting of songs, recitations and a simpUi playlet, “The Lesson Fairies.” It is always a pleasure to see what the little folks are doing. The 9th grade had charge of the assembly program on Friday, Novem ber 2nd. The theme of their pro gram was “The Poetry of the Twen tieth Century."! This was effectively carried out by a study of a few of the most important poets of the century and thoir most representative selec tions. These programs have proved educa- tjonal as well as entertaining. The patrons of the school are invited to share them with us. to possess so many methods of be haviour out of the ordinary that amusing complications begin to arise immediately. The merrj^ story con-v tinues through a maze of delightful incidents until the real identity of the heroine is fully disclosed. But not until Ciane has professed his love for his charming cook and the play ends with the bright prcspecta of happi ness for thesci two young people. This is a play that you cun not afford to miss. So be sure to plan to be at the High School auditorium, Friday, November 23rd, at 8 o’clock. ♦ Each pupil in the High School costs the taxpayers of Barnwell $57.10 a year.

Friday, Barnw<il suffered defeat at the hands of one of her oldest rivals. They, like Caesar, made a journey; but unlike him they came, they saw and were conquered. There was, however, a little consolation in thn fact that they were the first team to cross the Aiken goal line this sea son. The game was hard fought from beginning to end. Eatly in the game Aiken discovered a weakness at left end and consistently pounded it. Thriy were not able to cross the Barnwell goal line the whole first half. About the middle of the third period they scored on an 6nd run after a 15 yard punt by Halford gave them the ball Von BeirweH’s 35 yard line. A littki JOKES.
