Seven to Two Is Way Game Between Two Local Teams Ended. That Is the result of the game Tuesday afternoon bitwecn the two local teams, the high school lads out? playing their older opponents at nearly every angle of tho game and winning by a deserved majority of tallies. The Sumter team went to pieces in the fourth and it was then that timely hits and errors on the part of the eld? ers brought in a majority of the icorea of tho gap The local men scored on bunched hits in the sixth. Tho result was generally predicted, except by thi PASSBSSjr*. of the town team, who was confident of success and had to n? ahoiVu. It in true that three, of thoir al le players were not present, but one of thoae picked up got one of the six hits and both added players did good work throughout. In the box. the high had the better of the contest, for Nunnamaker allow? ed six hits, two of them for three bases and struck out eight men. Seven hits were made by the high players and six whiffed at White's curves.

Vcar Hi h fcohooj Course. At the suggestion of ot;r superinten ten lent I am giving lo ail those inter? ested in the work of the 5th year high school my opinion of the value of the work accomplished In the session of 1914-15. In the first place, I have been kept busy throughout the entire term. There has been no time for loafing. The course of study is full and broad and there is the greatest opportunity for advancement. The full course of the 5th year corresponds to the work of the freshman year at the highest standard college in the State. Next, 1 have had individual atten? tion, something which it is Impossible for the average college to give. I have been one of sixteen Instead of one of a hundred or more. My special needs have been looked into and shown clearly and it is my fault If they are not yet supplied. Third, I have had every day regular drill in the manual of arms, using the Regulation army rifles, kindly lent us by the Sumter Light Infantry. The drill is not long, only fifteen minutes daily, but it is syst math ami regular and gives a useful knowledge of the handling Of arms. Uist, I have bad a taste of college life which will spur me on to complete the OOUroe begun. And if I am never able to do SO, yet my one year's work has been acknowledged by the certi? ficate of graduation and will count for 'something in tin- years t<? come. These. I believe, are four chief ad? vantages that I have derived from the additional year. other benefits will reveal themselves in the future When I shall be better able to Judge of them.
