HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Okemah succeeded in getting the
Okfuskee literary contest and now
its up to us to- show the people
that there’s good in getting it here
We wish to thann those who
subscribed so liberally to the med-
al fund Saturday and we trust that
the medals will go to Okemah con-
testents ' ' ’
Keep your eye on the schobl
notes from now on as they- will
contain Borne good hat thoughts)
for everyone You may be shock-1
ed now and then but you will feel
better when you get over it
The next and last number of the
Lyceum course will be given March
25 This will be a strong numbe'
and perhaps a more popular num-
ber than the last It is composed
of four young ladies who read sirtg
and play It is a singing orchestra
If you would -avoid criticism be
nothing say nothing and do noth-
ing I
Reformers are always guilty guil-
ty of telling unpleasant truths buti
who wants to be a reformer? It
does not pay
- Boys who smoke cigarettes are
like wormy apples— they drop long
before harvest time -The
proceeds from the octet en-
tertainment were $4625 The pro-
ceeds were to pay for the song
books used at school: The books
cost $30 Other expenses paid out
of this fund were opera house $10
music for entertainment $225 ad-
vertising matter hand bills cards
tickets etc $5 -In the “red” $1
but everyone is pleased to say the
least
The man who is hotly denounced
is usually of the best quality j
Some school boards do not wish
to have at the head of the school
a single man n6r a married man
what they want perhaps is a
“dead ’un” or a puppet
Every one who is doing any-
thing in the world - beyond the
deadly common place is making
enemies Our enemies are peon’e
who do not understand us also
they are pdople whom we mov
anf this they resent also they
idl ai times the truth about 18—
or i part of it
V So much more money for medals
etc was raised Saturday than was
expected that through the gen-
erosity of the subscribers the fund
will go to further the interest in
athletics in Okfuskee county The
business men of Okemah are cer-
tainly to be admired for their lib-
eral donations 1
A joke is an affair that works
very well when tried on you but
it isn’t safe to try a Joke on some-
one else It always works best go-
ing Try one
Two people having an equal
amount of power and executive
ablity can rarely work together
Any man who moves people is
going to be tongue-lashed and ink
splattered
The senior class of last year has
on hand a nice fund thnt they
will use for library purposes if a
like amount is added to it from
any 'other soiirce
The octet will furnish music for
the contest Friday afternoon und
evening
Rev J H Woodard conducted
chapel Wednesday morning He is
an interesting talker 1
A collector will collect bills for
