SCHOOL NEWS ITEMS
By W. D. Raley
The Austin Avenue Methodist
Church Orchestra of Waco will ren-
der a musical program at the City
Hall Thursday, February 23 at 8
o’clock, under the auspices of the lo-
cal high school and city bands. The
proceeds from the program will go
to the band uniform fund. Tickets will
be on sale by the members of the
high school band. Admisison will be
25c and 60c.
During the year 473 white chil-
dren have been enrolled in the school
as against an enrollment of 437 for
the same month last year. There were
32 cases of tardiness in the school
during the month, and there were
also 82 cases during the same month
last year. The 8th grade maintained a
perfest punctuality record for the
month with no tardies,, while the 4th
and 11th grades had only one tardy
each. 32 girls and 25 boys made the
honor roll for the period closing with
the fifth month.
The state of Texas has to date paid
into the local school depository a
total of $5.00 per child from the per
capita apportionment, or a total of
approximately $21000. This does not
include the $1000 paid to the school
to assist it in meeting the expense
incident to the consolidation of the
former common school district No. 69
The total per capita apportionment
for the year is $15.00, from which the
Clifton spools will realize a total of
about $6300.
A High School Science Club has
been organized with the following
students felected as officers: Ralph
Gray, president; Robert Baldridge,
secretary; Vivian Cruce, Frances Bil-
lert, Ralph Coston, and John Hugh
Janes, tellers. The aim of this organ-
ization is to create a more active in-
terest in the study of science, and it
will undertake some project of a prac-
tical nature which will be of benefit
to the community as a whole. The
wholesale extermination of rats in
the community is one subject which
has been taken into consideration;
however, this has not yet been def-
initely undertaken. The club also
plans to hold regular meetings fea
turing numbers of practical scientific
interest, and thus to connect their
science work with the everyday life
of the community.
The 5th, 6th, and 7th grades are in
charge of a campaign with a view to
earning some money with which to
purchase library books and play-
ground ball equipment. The Country
Gentleman, Ladies Home Journal, and
Saturday Evening Post mre the mag'
aiznes for which subscriptions are be-
ing taken, and a liberal share of the
money derived therefrom will be used
for the above mentioned school pur-
poses. For each subscription to either
of the above mentioned magazines
the school will receive 50c.
