SOCIAL NEWS OF K1NGSTREE.
i (Edited by Mrs. L. W. Gilland)
A few weeks ago two teams, the
Tigers and tlie Wildcats were appointed
from the high school to secure
subscriptions for The Country
Gentleman, fifty cents of each subscription^
having been promised by
the magazine to the Atheletic Association
of the school. The team which
secured the largest number of subscriptions
was to be given a party
by the losing side. A gold pencil
was offered fo the boy or girl securing
the largest number of subscriptions,
and this was won by Jane. Gilland,
the silver pencil to Peden Montgomery.
In the final count it was
found that the Wildcats had torty-six
subscriptions to their credit and the
Tigers forty, and so on last Wednesday
evening the Tigers invited the
Wildcats to a party to be given at
the home of Miss Joe Boswell. The
I young people took advantage of the
brilliant moonlight to have their fun
outdoors, and a jolly evening was
passed in games and progressive conversation.
Master Bobbie Hare celebrated his
eighth birthday on Saturday afternoon
with a party in which the decorations
of the Hallow E'en season
were effectively used. After the little
guests had played many happy
games together, and the birthday cake
had been i cut, each was presented
with a Hallow E'en witch's cap as a
souvenir of the afternoon.
Oh Friday afternoon the Margaret
Gregg Gordon Chapter D. A. R. gave
a delightful game tourament at the
attractive home of Mrs. H. L. Prosser.
There were twelve tables playing,
and the chosen games were setback,
bridge and rook, in each of
which a prize was given to the player
making the highest score. Each
player paid fifty cents^ for the privilige
of playing, thus netting the organization
$24.00 for their work.
Mrs. grosser was assisted in serving
the punch and wafers during the
games by Misses Marian McFadden
and Carolina Scott, and Mesdames
J. F. McFadden and F. B. Adams.
The" Parent-Tearhers' association
held its November meeting in the
school auditorium on Mo*ulay afternoon,
iwth the president, Mrs. P. 0.
Arrowsmith presiding. The program
for the afternoon was in charge of
Mr. Baldwin, high school principal,
and was thoroughly enjoyed by aP
present. The first number was
"Humoresque," with Mrs. H. E. Montgomery
and James F. Cooper as violinists,
and Miss Ola DuBose pianist.
Next the association was favored by
and address on "Citizenship" by F.
R. Hemingway, newly elected representative
from Williamsburg. Mr.
Hemingway made an excellent and
timely talk, and the fact of a busy
lawyer taking time to come to the
meeting was much appreciated) by
mnfViorc nnH teachers. The last
V11C VVMVAW
number on the program was a series
of beautiful quotations on "Mothers"
read by Miss Grace Kinder. At the
business meeting a report was heard
from the committee appointed to de
tide what the association could d<
to beautify the school grounds, which
is the object adopted by the ParentTeachers
this year. The report was
full of good suggestions, and the association.
voted to empower the committee
to carry out their ideas, after
consulting Supt. Swittenberg. Plans
for raising funds were discussed, and
all members were asked to give the
benefit of any ideas they might have
to Miss Lancaster, chairman of the
finance committee. It was decided to
ask each child to contribute five cents
every month to help vwith tne improvement
of the school grounds. This
method will not only raise $100.00 i
carried out, but will give the children
a sense of possessive pride in the
grounds. The co-operation of the
parents is asked in this mater. It is
desired that the children j|ive their
own money. The December meeting
will be a social meting and will br
in charge of Misses Speigner and
McDaniel, and Mrs. M. F. Montgomery.
Rehearsals have begun for "Evening
of Novelties," to be given in about
two weeks for the beiient 01 tne
music department of the school. Mrs.
G. A. McElveen, music principal, is
at all times untiring in her efforts
to promote the cause of music in
Kingstree, and it is under her direction
that this program is being
prepared.
Kingstree social circles were taken
by surprise Sunday night when 0. E.
QRcer, football coach and teacher of
Agriculture at the Kingstree high
fchool, returned to town accompanied
by his bride, who was before her marriage
Miss Bettie Harris of Kenley,
N. C. The young couple were married
in Kenley on Saturday evening.
They will be at home with Mrs. Reddick
for the present, and the good
wishes of the entire community are
theirs.
On Monday evening a banquet was
1 I
given the members of the football
squad at the Central Cafe by Mr. J. H.
Epps and the proprietor of the cafe,
in celebration of the tie game with
Lake City a week or more ago. Besides

present: J. W. Swittenberg, Coach'
