Hurray for the Bulldogs! Last Fri-
day they defeated Keota to the count
of 43 to 0 That makes 116 points
they have scored against their oppon-
ents this year and their goal line is
still uncrossed
The next game is with Checotah
Friday here on the home field The
game bids fair to be interesting be-
cause Checotah has not lost a confer-
ence games this year they're sure to
put a fighting aggregation on the field
But the Bulldogs will win Come
out and lend them your support

The Ladies Missionary society of
really ought to be making up some
extra time
And you should have seen some stu-
dents this week— you see there is to
be no school Friday so everything has
to be done before then More than
one of the student body had a wild
look in his eyes as he dashed here and
ther-3 and we actually heard one girl
muttering something under her breath
about it being "such a nuisance to
have a teachers' meeting at Muskogee
on Friday just when we needed the
teachers!"
Another girl said that she wished
there was an elevator from the audi-
torium to the second floor so it would
not take so much time to dash from
practice to a meeting upstairs and then
back to practice again Oh it's a
greut life even if one does feel like a
fire horse

Reverend MacAnnally spoke to us
Tuesday morning in chapel on the sub-
ject of "Scarecrows" It was vastly
beneficial and the ghost story with
which he closed his short sermon was
extremely amusing
These chapel exercises are one of
the best features of the school life and
if the students will only apply some
of the great truths brought by the min-
isters of the town they will be greatly
helped

It's bccominq almost a habit ap-
parcntlj to open and close all discus

frame Friday and ur?e you to be there
1 he boys are working hard — even if
certain ones do have to go through

are sure to put up n winning battle if

Attendance in the schools is at low
ebb and we are hoping the cotton will
soon be picked in order that the pu-
pils may be back in school ’’'he ru-
ral teachers are giving tne speed 'and
comprehension tests in reading but 1
would suggest that they wait until the
attendance is better before giving
them This will give the teachers a
better chance to rcoch the rating of
the entire school rather than just a
few pupils who come regularly
Graphs of the results of these tests
are to be made and filed with this office
