for the examination, which is yet
a few days in the future.
The seventh grade asked per-
mission of Prof. Adamson to re-
main after school and organize
the class. Permission was grant-
ed, and the class met and elected
the following officers:
Clara Waller, President; Adol-
phus Parks, Vice-President;
Pearl Groff, Secretary and Treas-
urer and Simon Adamson as
Associate editor to the Post-Her-
ald, for the purpose of furnish
ing school notes of interest to the
paper. The seventh grade is to
be complimented very much for
having organized a student's
league, to secure better work in
the class; and to eliminate cheat
ing from the examination.
There was a very interesting

its becomingness or suitability

tremist^ who clings to the old
styles, is the woman of discrimi-
nation and judgment, who knows
her own good and bad points, and
chooses accordingly. This wo-

she will always be well-gowned,

The high-waist line skirt, that
certainly seems destined to last
entirely through the summer,
should have the height of its top-
line accomodated to the individ-
ual figure. So, too, must the
shaping of the skirt from top-line
to hips be reerulated, defining
more or less the waist-curve, as
each figure requires. So long
as one can command a looking-
glass of even moderate size, and
a 4iand mirrt>r, there is no ex-
cuse for a gown that is unbecom-
ing, no matter what is the style

Hollis High School Notes.
The Seventh and Eighth grade
ball team opened up the season
with a game lapt Friday after
school, and the results were a
score of 6 to 4, in favor of the
seventh grade. The principal
feature of the game was John
Dixon's batting. He says when
he gets in shape he will knock
the cover off the ball.
Prof. Jobe's absence was no-
ticed very much the first of the
week, he being sick. His vacan-
cy was filled by John Dixon.
Last Saturday was the day for
teachers mfeeting, but there be
ing so few teachers present the
meeting wis postponed.
The eighth grade has taken up
the New South for study in
classes.
The eighth grade enjoyed the
Ancient history lesson very
much Monday, in spite of the ab-
sence of their teacher. The sub-
ject of the lesson being the birth
of Christ..
The eighth grade all regret
that theyj haven't a "princess"
made of gnaencheesecloth.
Harold Fewell says he is going
to wesr his new "merry widow"
and yellow princess on Easter.
Prof. Adamson told the seventh
grade that he believed they
would pass the County examina
tion, and the very next day there
were only a few present. He
made inquiries about them and
they replied that there was no
use in coming for they would
pass. But they will be of a dif
ferent opinion when the exami-
nation is over.
Essie Crenshaw was absent
last week. We know not the
cause.
The eighth grade intended to
stay about thirtv minutes, to ar-
range a program for the closing
of the school, but as our teacher
was not present, we postponed it.
The Botany class has received
lense and is having some inter-
esting work, examining speci
mens.
Tne Hollis High School quar-
tette met at the home Prof. Ad-
amson last Monday evening to
practice their songs, which they
are preparing for the opening
exercise at the last days of
school.

Seventh Grade.
The seventh grade is doing
some excellent work, preparing
here in a few days, and then they
will begin their practice at once.

New Styles.
When a radical change is made
in the fashionable figure ou tline,
clinging skirts of soft material
rather than full gored, wide-
spreading models, the woman
who holds persistently to the
earlier style soon becomes her-
self an oddity amongst the newer
types. Any fashion may be so
modified that its extreme fea
tures are eliminated, while
enough are retained to keep it
distinctly within the newest
mode. It is manifestly, unfair to
condemn a style from i ts display
models, which must necessarily
emphasize every new point
