BOARD OF EDUCATION To this body of faithful. sincere co-workers, we wish to extend our hearty appreciation, Their efforts toward promotion, in the way of supplying adequate und requisite equipment, and in procuring efficient, capable teachers, have not passed by unnoticed and have endeared them to us. The fervid endeavors and loyal support exerted and evidenced in our behalf, resulting ultimately in con- verting the long cherished hope of a new high school from a fictitious to real project, are especially worthy of mention. In every instance our board has provea to be generous, kindly, and worthy of the respect and regard we reserve for them. None but herself can be her parallel.—Pearl Long. 5 Pa il W alde GRETCHEN LANGDON Hamilton College French, History Democracy. GLADYS LONG University of Illinois English NIXONIA H. J.

The meetings have been a succession of edifying discourses concerning French towns and views of particular beauty and prominence, as shown by means of cards and books. Games, instructive as well as amusing were participated in with great zest and eagerness. We have learned much concerning French literary celebrites and their works and have read and enacted a great many French. plays. All year the members of this organization have been anticipating, anxionsly, a visit from Miss Olga Longi of Bordeaux, instructor at the Nniversity of Mlinois, and at last our expectations are to be fulfilled. She will be with us for one May meeting and will speak to us about French life. We feel that what we will gather from Miss Longi'’s dis- sertation will be invaluable and much more impressive than mere book accounts. One of the most successful attainments achieved by Le Cercle Francais, was the program of March 27, presented at Parent-Teacher’s Club. This was given for the purpose of procuring funds for the Annual and included French monologue, dialogue, two songs and a play “La Surprise D'Isidore.” The officers Chosen at the opening of the school year, were: Frances Fleming, Presi- dent: Ula Whitehead, Vice President, and Margaret Carr, Secretary and Treasurer. Much of the zest and spontaniety of the French Club is due to the capable guidance of Miss Langdon, who has introduced various intriguing methods of piguing the interest and appreciation. Who is it can read a woman?—Kenneth McConkey. 42 ORCHESTRA CONCERT Tuesday, 8:00 P. M., May 12, 1925 at M. E JUNIOR Harry F.

BASKET BALL The season of ‘24 and '25 was started with four veterans. Tilbury, however, was the only one who had seen consistent first team playing before this year, MeC mikey, our other first team veteran having moved to Cerro Gordo. Our First team line-up was: Tilbury and Edwards, forewards; Peacock, center, and Foote and Kenser at guards. Four games were played this way, when Foote left the squad and Edwards, because of injuries, was forced to quit. Meredith and Goken took their places. In the Kenney invitation tournament, Weldon lost her first game to Wapella after hard fighting with a matched team. Peacock and Tilbury were selected as all-star men at this tournament. At the County Meet in January. Weldon lost her first game to Wapella. The boys fought hard but couldn't hit the basket. They had little trouble with the Farmer City seconds, but in their Clinton game they showed surpassing form and played one of the best games of the year. However, they lost by a point—eighteen to nineteen. In their regular games the early season reverses were made up and more games were won than lost. After the holidays, the team came back to beat some of the ones that had taken their measure earlier in the season. We entered the Invitational Tourament at Mahomet on January 30. Practically all the teams were unknown equations. They are slightly beyond our playing range.

WELDON GRADE SCHOOL School opened Monday, September 1, with Mr. Reeves in charge of the Grammar room, Miss Bens. n in the Intermediate room, Mrs. Mire in Second Intermediate room and Miss Emery in the Primary room. In the fall, the school was represented at the County Spelling Meet by Cleta and Muriel Long. One of the girls placed well in the meet. A basket ball team was organ‘zed in the winter with Will McKee as captain and Mr, Reeves as manager. The boys played DeWitt and DeLand grade schools and Twist school, On March 13th. a four game tournament was held in Weldon with the above teams as guests. DeWitt placed first, DeLand second, Weldon third and Twist fourth. A banner was given to the winner of the tournament. From the viewpoints of sportsman- ship displayed and finance, the tournament was a suecess, Now that basket ball has been revived in the grades, the boys are looking forward to the season next year in the new High School gym. This spring a baseball team was organized with Howard Baker as captain. The entire school of 114 pupils participated in an operetta, “Mother Goose’s Birthday,” given under the supervision of Miss Robinson, on March 27th. The children performed their parts in a manner which reflected credit upon both themselves and their instructor. The parts were especially well chosen. The grade school is well represented in both of the orchestras. The Junior Orchestra, composed mostly of grade pupils, took part in one of the programs of the Parent- Teachers’ Association and in the Orchestra Concert given May 12th. This organization is doing fine work and we are proud of it. Mr. Shaw—Phillip, what is water analogy—Huh! 71 NIXONIA INSTRUCTORS OF GRADES MR. EVERETT REEVES MISS NELLE BENSON 7th. and Sth.
