HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN
MADE FINE RECORD
Although not an all-victorious1 Totals
eleven the 1922 Durant High School
football team can well be said to
have had the most successful season Ardmore
in the history of the High School Ardmore
having won six and lost but two stats Ardmore-
crimes. All-victorious elevens are Ardmore
scarce in every class and teams end- Ardmore-
ing the season with a percentage of
.750 are not common.
Coach Bryan Nolen's gridsters
piled up a total of 149 points to their
opponents 65 and every team they
played was classed as among the best
in the state with the exception of the
Boswell eleven which wag dofeatad b"'
a score of 77 to 0.
As n nuceus for next year's eleven
Nolen will have Taylor Reed Tommie
Bates. Toy Moore and Bennett Story
Cester Bates. C. J. Powell Roy Zlon
S. E. Street.
The disappointment of the season
was the loss of ths Madill game. The
local players entered the game con
fident of winning and whan thuy
found that the Madill eleven wafc
stronger than they anticipated never
did get the necessary stride to put
across a touchdown. However fol
lowing this game. Nolens men got
into their true stride and with the
exception of the Ardmore. played
sensational football for the remain-
der of the season.
Then in the Caddo game the lo-
cals struck their stride. Facing a
team outweighing them twenty
pounds to the man the locals showed
their gameness and won 7 to 0. The
Atoka game was the big surprise of
the season. Ramsey's men were
doped to win the Durant game by
at least 60 points but the local boys
outplayed their heavier rivals in ev'
cry phase of the game and ran up
a score of 25 to 0. The Hugo game
went about as expected. Durant won
by a score of 25 to 0.
The Durant goal line was crossed
by but two state opponents this year
Madill and Ardmore.
The record of the Durant eleven
for the season is as follows:

THE OLDEST SCHOOL.
THE Boston Latin school la the old-
est educational Institution In the
United States having enjoyed a con-
tinuous existence since April" 1035.
From the start It was a school for
higher education especially Latin and
Greek. It appears to have been the
determination of the founders "To
beat Satan In each and all of his
lairs ;" therefore "For the common de-
fense and for the general welfare
should the classical languages be
taught nt the common charge."
One day during the early days of
the revolution the master (a's the
teachers were called In those days)
a loyalist announced as he dismissed
school "War's begun and school's
done; rtenonlte llbros" but the school
was noon re-opened and when the
British evacuated Boston In March
1770 the ma.-ter went with them as
a prisoner "fls said that In his day
all that was required for admission
was to rend a few verses In the Bible.
School lieiRn nt Seven o'clock In the
morning l summer (elKht o'clocK in
winter) and ended at Ave In the after-
noon with a recess from eleven to one.
The present building completed In
lssn ii- at that time "the largest
Mnirtmv In America devoted to ed-
iti'iitliiun! purposes and the largest In
Hie world ued as a free'publlc school."
It mntti'in 16 school rooms each ac-
roimnii:itiiii; 3.1 students.
It Is doubtful. Indeed If any other
school bmiMs of a moro honorable ca-
reer can li'iw as long a list of promi-
nent men iim graduates or more per-
sistently conformed to the aspiration!
of Its originators.

'Protecting Our
Earnings
The object of all business men farmers! merchants and
others is to earn money and make a profit on their in-
vestment. The test of a real business man is that of making money
ligitimately and then properly conserving it. Numerous
bankruptcies have been caused by the inability of men to
properly conserve their money once it is earned.
Today more than ever before are business men learning
to place their earnings in investments of known safety
where they will further realize on them.
No better or safer place to guard ones savings and earn-
ings can be had than the TIME DEPOSIT. Absolutely
safe a "nest egg" when you need it.
If you have not now a Savings Account come in and talk
it over with us.
