Last month was the beginning of a
new month and every kid is (as they
say) trying hard for a good report be
cause it is just two weeks before quar
terlies.
We have got pictures of the presi
dents of the board to hang in Mr.
Mathis’ office. The pictures have
come but we haven’t bung them all up
yet
We are getting ready for an exhibit
in April at the same time the High
Schools meet here. We expect to
have a few visitors at our school.
We have been making bread foi
nearly two weeks and we ought to
know how very well now. Although
we didn’t get a taste, Miss McKean
said it was good. We have also been
making Parker House rolls and sweet
French rolls.
We will soon finish the embroidered
pin-cushions we started and an expect
to start on a gown next.
The 7-1 got out last Monday after a
month of trying to keep quiet between
periods. We had one vote which we
unwillingly received but had to, and
the 7-2 was ahead for three weeks,
but when the fourth week came we
found some teacher had found them
noisy and was compelled to give them
a vote which made the 7-1 catch up
with them; so we both got out for a
half-holiday.
Last week all of the boys played
basket ball. The seventh grades play
ed most of the time. Mr. Smith chose
a team from each seventh grade. The
7-1 boys were, Sam Hooks, Carr
Glover, Ralph Glover, J. P. Braswell,
Frank Lee and Courtney Ivey. The
7-2 boys were, William Fetner, James
E. Hines, Norman McLeod. S. L. Ham
mond, Marvin Giddings and Bill Law.
The score Thursday was 5 to 4, in fav
or of 7-1. The game Friday was 9 to
1, in the 7-I’s favor. The two seventh
grades challenge each other twice a
day and if one class beats the other
those that get defeated are so jealous
that they are willing to play all day
rather than get beat again.
Mr. Smith is making jumping hurdl
es for the High school and he has all
the Grammar school boys sawing so
much lumber that they they can
hardly walk.
Friday, the girls had the usual
game of basket ball between the 6th
grades and seventh grades. The score
was 4t03 in the 6th grades’ favor.
The seventh grade’s line up was:
Marie Bell, Frances Sparks, Lolita
Physioc, Hulet Humber and Elizabeth
Sheffield. The sixth grade’s, Louise
Dudley, Georgia Lumpkin (these two
put in the four balls for sixth grade),
Gladys Oliver. Julia Allison and Min
erva Allison.
The boys here have received a chal
lenge from the sophmore basket ball
team for a game. We are not quite
ready to accept now, but wc "... «...
them on for a game pretty soon.
Several weeks ago an army officer
inspected the schools of Atlanta and in
a statement to the paper he scored the
schools heavily because not a single
American flag did he find in one of
the schoools. If he had inspected our
schools he couud not have said that.
On fair days a big American flag
floats over the building. When we
march in and out of the building the ‘
leaders of the primary grades carry;
flags while in the upper grades the |
four best lines of boys and girls are;
awarded the privilege of carrying the
flag of our country. On Miss Sarah s
window sill there is a whole jar of
ting American flags while the fourth
grades use dozens of them in their
prettty flag drill.

(BY MISS MABEL PETERS.)
Monday, of the past week, marked
the beginning of the third and last
quarter of this school term. Just
think, only three more months and
then —vacation. No one knows the real
joys of a summer vacation unless it is
the weary school girl or boy. The last
three months will seem like years to
us because we are so anxious for va
cation to come, not that we dislike
school, but that we want and need a
change.
On last Monday night, in the auditor
ium of our school, a preliminary de
bate was given by the boys who were
contesting for a place to represent the
school in the Triangular Debate that
is to be rendered at an early date. It
may be truthfully said that each con
testant made a splendid showing and
did his best to win a place for the big
debate. This debate on Monday night
proved that we have some fine speak
ers in our school and we are confident
they have a brilliant future before
them. The boys chosen to represent
us when the big debate comes off are;
Henry Allen, Henry Clay and George
Lumpkin, of the Junior class, and Wil
bur Giddings, of the Seniors.
On Wednesday morning, in the pres
ence of other members of the Board of
Education, Dr. Lansing Burrows pre
sented each of the cadets with a H. S.
V. U. S. button, which means that they
are now High School Volunteers of
the United States. The visitors pres
ent were Mr. J. E. Mathis. Dr. Bur
rows, Mr. E. B. Everette, Dr. C. P. Da
vis, Mr. Arthur Rylander and Mr. J. T.
Taylor. The cadets are very proud of
the buttons, because they realize what
they signify.
Many improvements are being made
about the grounds and buildings at
present in order to be looking out
i best when the High school meet comes
off in April. Os course, we always
want everything to look nice, but we
feel that we must have things looking
their best when company comes. In
order to do this, every one has to his
share of the work. Mr. Hale had the
I campus leveled off last week. This im
; proved the appearance of the prem
< ises very much. The members of the
i flower committee are working faithful
!ly to have some flowers and shrubs
growing by that time.
On Thursday afternoon a great many
i of the A. H. S. students attended the
i lecture on Sidney Lanier given by Miss
j Hamilton at the Carnegie Library. It
' was surprising to see how many stu
j dents were present, although they Teal
i ized they would learn much by going.
Still "there’s a reason,” for their at
tendance, but we’ve promised not to
tell any tales out of school.
The girls basketball team of our
school went to Albany Friday after
ioon to play the Albany girls. The Al
bany girls met our girls here a week
ago, and won the game. A number of
I students —boys and girls—accompan
j ied the team down there. They left
| with victory and a good time written
, on their faces.
i The Crisp and Lanier Literary society
! met in the auditorium and rendered a
1 very good program on Friday after
! noon. It was a Senior program, and,
, of course, was rendered in a splendid
I manner. The following program was
j rendered:

The two companies of cadets will
take a part in the W. 0. W. parade next
Tuesday morning. Instead of being
“rigged out” in full cadet uniform on
their regular drill day, which is Mon

day for big parade. Every cadet is pa

to make a “shine.” Nothing has been

NOTES FROM A. &
M. COLLEGE HERE
(BY NORMAN ENGLISH.)
The regular meeting of the girls'
1 literary society was postponed March
3rd, on account of the play’ that was
presented that night. ‘An Obstinate
Family,” was presented the night of
March 3rd by students of this school,
the comedy was very creditably played
and spoke well for the players. It was
staged in the dining hall, which now
serves as our auditorium. Frequent
outbursts of applause w-ere made by
the audience. Misses Helen Jenkins.
Ruth Williams and Elizabeth Summer
fcrd sang the wonderful ‘‘Speakey.
Spikey, Spokey” rag at the conclusion
of the presentation. Excellent music
was rendered.
This seems to be a home-going week
with the student body. The larger por
tion of the girls and several boys are
spending the week-end with home
folks.
Mrs. J. M. Collum and Misses Mil
drcd and Susie Collum were welcome
visitors to the school Saturday.
The boys’ literary society had a very
interesting and delightful program Fri
day night. Mr. Torrence, who is tour
ing the South in behalf of the Y. M. C
A. work and the student conference to
be held at Blue Ridge, North Caro
lina .made an excellent talk. The pro
gram was:
“Life of Thomas Jefferson” —Flour-
noy Stevens.
“The Value of Education” —Cecil
Perry.
Jokes —Cecil Simpson.

Georgia was the first state in the,
union to plan by law a school system
for childhood, youth and young man
hood. The state is doing its part well.
Will you as a good citizen see to it
that every youth makes the most of
these opportunities More education,'
and better education for every child
would be a good platform.
It would be interesting if the school;
I rincipals would look through their
records of the last five years and
note the names of the graduates that

I tended and the per cent, of graduates
going to college. Forty-one per cent.
