J High School Notes, jj i j The tenth yratie held a class meetiny the other Jay for the purpose of yettiny up some sta- ] tistics about the members. We < have already elected our class j officers for this year: Ilallie ( McCollough, presideut, and Eu- < nice Kennedy, secretary and j treasurer. Our colors are old ( gold and blue and our motto, } "Facta non Verba." In order to carry out our motto, "Deeds . not Words,'* we wish to be do- 1 mmg things, not talking about i them all the time. The statis- < tics were as follows (please bear ; in mind that the tenth grade has i eight girls and only one boy in it):? Prettiest?Eunice Kennedy. Sweetest?Hallie McCollough. Smartest?Clara Montgomery. Mostdetermined?Clara Montgomery. \frvcf nnrmlnr?Ttrnrkin ton. Most talkative?Clara Montgomery. ' Biggest "rusk"?Roberta (Joker. Most original?James Epps. Most industrious?Lula Brockinton. Most dignitied?Juanita Coward. Greyest "s p o r t"?Roberta Coker. ' Laziest?James Epps. -Most accomplished Ada 1 Brockington. Most conceited?Roberta Co- ' ker. 1 Nicest boy?James Epps. Mayor L W Gilland was pre- j vented trom delivering: his speech'on last Friday by una- ' voidable circumstances. We were very much disappointed , but hope to hear Mr Gilland at ' some other time after the Christ- . mas holidays. Or Tuesday, December 8th, Mr Mahaffey came to the school house and conducted the chapel . , ~ exercises for the last time. It V made us feel very sad to know ^ that never again while we were ^ there would Mr Mahaffey be j with us. We are also very, very sorry to lose Iva from among our friends of the ninth grade. r The girls and boys of the high school are very diligent in their studies this year. They indulge , in no other "sport" than playing tennis. The boys of the athletic club have been very nice to the tenth grade girls and , have not only allowed them to , play on the tennis court but | Vhave taught us how to play. Ev- j cry afternoon there are a num- j ber of us at the tennis grounds | indulging in this pleasant pas- ^ time. The exercise thus given ( our bodies renders our brains . clear and able to lake in the lessons for next day. Our whole school is all astir this week. Most of the grades have a number of examinations to stand and that is a sufficient cause of disturbance among them. Then the minstrel boys are straining every nerve and practicing every day to get ready for Thursday night at Salters and Friday night here. On Friday afternoon the Literary Society has a meeting, so it will " certainly be a busy week for some of us. But if the minstrel? the last act of the school year of 1908?is only a success, we . shall not mind the work and worry and shall be able to spend the Christmas holidays in per feet happiness. The boys are doing their best to make their part of it a success. The rest ilepends upon the public whether they come or not. We hope that ^everyone that can possibly do so will come Friday night and that |H our auditorium will be full to overflowing. A B. i ?
