It haa been a long time since
this section experienced such a
protracted spell of cloudy, damp
and chilly weather. There has
been but one sunshiny day in
two weeks or more. Such weath-
er may be expected occasionally
in mid-winter, but is very unus-
ual at this time of year.
School News.
The challenge iaaued to the
town for a spelling match 6eema
to have created much interest,
judging from the number of
Blue Backa that have been call-
ed for. For a certainty there is
a "noise" like spelling going on !
at the sch tol. It is reported that ,
a similar noise can be heard at
various places in the town, tho
we are requested not to tell it. I
It has become a custom of the
school to put on display in the!
office from time to time, speci-
mens of work by different pupils,
the object being to stimulate to
greater effort and to put a re-
ward, in a way, on good, honest
work. The specimens consist of
English themes, examination pa-
pers in a variety of subjects,
drawings from physiology, draw-
ings in water color, construction
work, wood work from the man-
ual training classes, etc. The
following pupils have work on
display:
Marshall Wylie, Harry Elmore
Yanoy Cooter, Vardaman Bus-
ter, Francis Elder, Florine Brad-
ford, Capitola Rogers, Cleo Dun-
lap, Omie Burch, Leona Smith,
Elsie Erwin, Edith McNabb,
Laura Autrey, Holford Russell,
Fred Pitner, Iyahnula Drake,
Willie Wood, Eather Oxford,
George Light, Tom Jones, Char-
lie Ellis, Ruby Elmore, Mary
Patrick, John Autrey, Emberson
Wright, Elbert Reynolds, Bertie
Carson, Edith McGinty, Minnie
Dell Ellis, Ada Autrey, Barbara
Bauer, Connie Wood, Elizabeth

sain Harrison, Eugene Garner,

Lela Tompson, Frank Crisler,
Kyle Harper, Glenn Miller, Leo-
na Smith, Rupert Stanley, Mar-
garet Julian, Floyd Roberts,

Special mention might be
made of the following specimens
as showing special neatness,
originality and good taste:

colors by Mary Mountain, Bar- J
bary Bauer, Edna Mae Harris
and Lela Thompson; drawing
in physiology by John Autrey;
Spelling examination by Tom
Jones; examination in English
by Harry Elmore; arithmetic

garet Julian; language paper by
Ada Autrey; Hallowe'en picture

An effort is now being made
to arrange for systematic o g in-
ized outdoor games and exer-
cises. Some apparatus for the
smaller girls are now being de-
signed and constructed by boys
in the manual training classes.
This so far as ia known here, is
the firat small school in this
country to undertake the scien-
tific regulation of school games.
This week report cards for Oc-
tober were sent out. If your
child did not bring one home,
make some inquiry about it.
Notice carefully the grades
shown there. Favorable com-
ment by you on a good report
will serve as a stimulus for
your boy or girl to do still bet-
ter. If grades are not satisfac-
tory, call the teacher to see
if together you cannot loca te the
trouble.
We regret to chronicle the
death of Mies Croxton'a brother
which occirred at hia home in
Nocona Tuebday morning. He
had been ill for aome time but
became so much worse that Miaa
