SCHOOL NOTES
By the Tupils of B Section of
the Higher Eighth Graie
Monroe High School
The New High School
It is quite fitting that the students
of the Monroe Hih School set aside
a tirt near the first of March as a
ti;no ti JuMlee, for then our talked
of, L oi od for, and ko!:'d forward
to !:- hiKh school buildiug will be
fortra'.'y opened. The school extends
a. hearty welcome to the parents and'
a!i .i'.'ions to join lu this celebra
tiL'. I- Is hoped that there will be !
o:.i.ln of interest fo.- ail. The'
j'ic:r.q Is in charge of the Parent-'
Ttp.-hers' Association and It is
thrushf: that they will arrange to i
have Dr. Brooks or some other equal
ly pood speaker present. In the even
Inn a play will be given by the dra. :
matie club. We have something of
which to be proud, namely, a brick
building erected at a cost of $100,
oo, a gift from our parents at the
expense of Increased taxation. I
The students must show their ap. '
preeiation of this sacrifice by taking
the bent of care of what they have
received, The aim shall be; no marks
upon the wall, no cut desks or any- !
thing that would mar the beauty of
building or grounds. Evelyn Lock

The Xew Gong System
In our new high school there Is
a piece of machinery that is very ln
ieresting. It Is a large clock which
controls all the gongs, recess bells,
1 the fire alarm and three smaller
clocks. The clock is run by electricity
'and in cao the current should be
' cut oif the battery is always Biiffi-
cii'ntiy charged to continue running.
Every minute tint the clock runs it
winds up for i!-.e minute Just passed.
! On Friday at the closing hour the
;ir,s automatically cease to work
and take up their work again Mon
day morning wThout assistance. One
of the greatest conveniences of ttv
, clock, according to Mr. Hawfield, Is
the fact that teachers and pupils can
be summoned to the office by means
of signals, thus saving mainy toil
some (rips up and down the stairs.

Are Our Fathers Interested in the
rurent-Tcaclier Association?
Why do 5.0 few of our fathers at
tend the meetings of the Tarent
Teachers' Association? This Is the
quest ion I have been asked to ans
wer. Is it possible that in all Mon
roe, only two fathers are interested
enough to attend, or that we are sure
of these two because they are teach
ers also? Are only the mothers and
the teachers concerned about the wel
fare of the children? Are our
fathers too busy with their
work? If there was to be a good
game of either baseball or football,
could they not find time to leave
their work? At different times the
program commute has called upon
gentlemen of the town for talks.
They have responded with fine ad
dresses, right to the point. But did
they do this as courtesy to the pro.
because they Friday. February 10ih. with rery'wero brought before the Society by

Hie Progminnie, Including Eating,
icaklng and Music Was Prepared,
but Mother Nature Interfenvd
A Billy Goat Banquet is perhap
a new thing in this part of the moral
vineyard, but that kind of a festival
was pulled off near Marshvllle Wed
nesday night. However, the heavy
rainfall interferred to some extent
with the program.
The occasion was made possible
through the generous proposition of
Mr. J. M. Little to furnish the billy
goat. The animal was killed and
dressed Wednesday afternoon and
the guests were invited to assemble
at a tenant house on Mr. Little's
plantation near Gilboa church for the
feast. Mr. Browmlow Traywlck and
Mr. Frank Brantley were expected to
be on band with their fiddles to fur
nish music for the occasion.
The stock dealers of Marshvllle
were among the Invited guests, and
Mr. J. W. Hasty and Clayton Pene
gar we,re employed to do the cook
ing act. A speech or two was also
booked and everything else necess
ary to the occasion was arranged.
But for the rain and snow it would
have undoubtedly been one of the
most successful social functions of
the season, but old Mother Nature
handed us a surprise and the guests
were few. However, about thirteen
of the faithful dared bravely to face
the storm and the event was by no .
means a failure. . .
