A fine set of drums has been purchased for the school, the P. T. A. paying 3518.00 and the school the remainder.

ENTERTAINMENT On Friday, December 13, an entertainment was held at French's Hall, under the auspices of the P. T. A. All the schools took part in this. The Primary Schools had a drill and folk dances. The Intermediate School gave a little play, Sally's Bookcase . A RECORD novel radio program was put on by the Grammar School. The High School pre- sented a short play, Hans Von Smash', and a duet, Sparkin' Peggy lane , was given by two girls. The entertainment was very well attended and the proceeds were large. Lscrurcns Rev. W. Barton Watson of the Universa- list church gave two very interesting and instructive talks this fall, at morning assem- bly. He had for his subject the life of Ioan of Arc. Rev. G. Arthur Woodcock and Rev. Arthur I. Dorr have also addressed the stu- dent body and have had charge of the de- votional exercises. BASEBALL This year we planned to go to Strong by train for the basketball game. However, as satisfactory arrangements could not be made, trucks were used instead. Both the boys' and girls' games were well played and ex- citing. Coming home the truck with the two teams in it broke down two miles below New Vineyard. They had to wait until the other truck could get back from Kingfield to take them home. Several of the boys walked all the way home instead of waiting. Finally the other truck arrived, the trouble was found and repaired and both trucks got home at three o'clock in the morning. NIACAZINE Drove A magazine drive was put on again this year at our school by the Crowell Publishing Company. Two teams were formed, the Red Squadron with Oscarene Witham as captain and the Blue Squadron with Elwood Gordon as captain. Carroll Strickland was general manager and Maxine Knapp, secre- tary. The Red Squadron won the contest. The proceeds were about 352100.
