CLIFTON HIGH BEATS MERIDIAN
.The Clifton High School Cubs won
their fourth game of the season last
Friday when they beat the Meridian
team 19 to 3. The Meridian boys put
up a much better game than was an-
ticipated and showed that they have
some real good material. It was prob-
ably due to overconfidence that the
4fubs allowed them to score and after
the Clifton team once got settled they
played real foot ball. Coach Hays is
putting his men through hard practice
this week in order to have them ready
for the Methodist Home game Friday
and for the Moody game on Armistice
Day.

THE CLIFTON PUBLIC
SCHOOL NEWS ITEMS
(By J. C. Wilkerson)
There were 12 new pupils this week.
Among tho«e starting in the High
School are George Schultz. Albert
i Rees ing and Hattie Ledlow. The High
School enrollment is now 193, while
the enrollment of the entire school has
reached 500 for the first time since
the session of 1921-22. During that
year there was no school at Terrill nor
at the German Parochial school.
Report cards were given out Wed-
nesday. Most of the pupils seem
to be doing good work and the Honor
Roll is larger than that of last month.
In most cases where students are
failing to make their work, it is due
to lack of home study, or lack of ap-
plication at the school. A few pupils
are classified too high and will likely
be put back a grade. This is for the
best interest of the pupil, as he will
always be a weak student and cannot
enjoy his school work if it too ad-
vanced for him. Any parent that has
a student who failed on as many as
two subjects is invited to come to the
school and talk the situation over with
the teacher. By doing this and co-op-
erating w»th the teacher a demotion
may be avoided.
Next Tuesday, Armistice Day, has
been set aside by the school hoard as
a holiday. The real purpose of the-day
should not be forgotten. All students
who wish to get credit for the day's
work will meet at the school at the
regular time, form a body ami march
to town and take part in the patriotic
services by the American Legion and
Auxiliary. These, services will last
less than an hour.
Tuesday 'afternoon, Clifton High
School intends to present its biggest
athletic program of the year. The
ba.-ket ball game between the Clifton
and Yally .Mills gills will -tart
promptly at 2:00 p. ni. and will bo fol-
lowed by he football game between
Clifton and Moody High Schools.
Stunts will be performed by the s-tu
dent bodies of the three High Schools.
The Clifton High School foot ball
team will play the Methodist Home |
today (Friday) at 4 p m. at the City
Park. ,
The fourth grade gave an interest-
ing program last Wednesday morn-
ing and filan to make this a weekly
affair.

HOME ECONOMICS H.
On Hallow's Eve, n goodly number
of “Joy Makers" gathered at Mamie
Townley's home at seven o'clock to
participate in a masquerade party giv-
en by the Home Economics girls in
honor of the dignified Seniors. How-
ever, the Seniors left their "dignity”
at home and were there for a sure-
enough good time.
After much fun, in trying to guess
who certain persons were, we started
for the Park and upon arriving, un-
masked, the Home Economics teacher
was not n cognized and therefore the
prize went to her f>*r having the best
costume.
Many games were played, each
"spook" taking part and from the oc-
casional shouts and screams we judge
that they were enjoyed very much
