The trustees of McCormick High School with the co-operation of the county supervisor, Mr. W. O. Graves, arte improving the school grounds. The grounds in front of the building i are being leveled down. ' This will j prevent the surface water from i washing great gullies -across the grounds. A drive way is to bo laid off? in front of the building and come top soil to be put on the red clay. When this is done the grounds can be land scaped properly with I ttle expense' and the- appearance on McComrck High School building will be greatly improved. MATERIAL RECEIVED FOR DEBATERS CLUB. Thp member's jof the do bakers club are beginning to learn what it means to debate. They have had several impromptu debates in the club and later in the season will prove their ability by debating be fore the school in the auditorium. Several libraries on the question to be debated have been received. The club has some very interesting material from the University of North Carolina and the Georgia Li brary of Commission. Since the Legisfetture failfed ' to make appro priations for the extension division, the University of South Carolina has been unable to send us the usual bull etin and other material. The debaters team had the good fortune of winning a free trip to the state capitol last year and although two of our debaters have erflered college, members of the club stil have high hopes of winning another trip.

At the beginning of the second semester, the senior class changec its ,course of study from rhetoric to Literature and Life. In literature the Seniors have studied Captain John Smith, Ben*- jamin Franklin, Washington Irving Anne Bradstreet, William Brsiyant and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Each Senior is supposed to ke an illustrated note-book on the work that we cover during this semester This note-book is going to include p'etures and writ^-ups of the most important works of the various writ ers that are studied. We have also studied bibliograph ies and foot-notes. These are very important because one’s literary con science requires honest foot-notes and a bibiliography is a valuable ad- difon to an article or any subject. GLADYS DILLASHAW, LILLIE MOSS. ASSEMBLY PERIOD. On Wednesday, February 1, the high school assembled in the audi torium for the purpose of practicing some new songs. Several songs were learned and much improvement wasJ shown over the last musical assemb ly period.

Practically all winter the boys of the two agriculture classes have been * trapp ng and selling an average of fifty rabbits every week. These rab bits are caught i n boxes, sent to Au gusta, and sold for twenty-five cents each. The money made in this way is counted in with the other made in the “Thrift Club." WILLIAM REESE. THRIFT CLUB. Some time ago the agriculture classes organized a “Thrift Club" with Mr. Buttram as leader. The purpose of th : s club is obviously to save money and a prize of five dol lars (5.00) has been offered to the boy who clears the niost money from Thanksgiving 1927 to Thanksgiving 1928. This money may be raised in any way possible on a farm, such as raising a crop of cotton, corn or truck produce, fruit, etc. W. P.

However, experience has shown also that temper atures at: least 10 degrees colder than those- experienced recently have still per mitted enough survival to cause * serious weevil fight the follow mr year. Records kept over a long ser ies of years show that the weather this winter has been cold enough to reduce materially the weevils in hib ernation but it should be remembtsr- ed that the normal survival during” the winter amounts to only 3 to b per cent on the average and that aw unusual number entered hibernation last fall. * txt To make hard sauce a little dif ferent, use brown sugar instead of* white, and grate in the rind of an- orange for flavoring.

Both sides brought out many im- poitant points in a convincing man ner and the task of the judges was not an easy one. However, a decis ion had to be made and the nega tive side was declared the winner. LAKE MIDDLETON. “RIP VAN WINKLE.” In reading class on last Friday the sixth and Seventh grade pupils dramatized the story of “Rip Van Winkle."
