Bolh societies will present interesting programs next week. They will give no program this week on account of examinations. Mr. Barrett preached the ser mon and conducted the examina tion for the ordination of Mr. C. E. McDaniel, who is a student at 8.-P. 1., at Rentz last Sunday, j In spite of the extremely bad weather, they report a large con gregation. The authorities of B.P. I. placed the “flu” ban on going home for the week-end last week on account of the dangers of stu dents being exposed to the di sease on the train. The number of “boxes” received indicate the j inability of teachers to prevent students from getting sick. The basket ball game with Dublin has been postponed until Saturday on account of examina tions et cetera. A basket ball game between' the senior girls and lady members of the faculty has been proposed; but on account of the high feeling which exists at the present time between the members of each team and those on the opposite team, brought on by the ap proaching, examinations, it was thought best to call oil the game temporarily, at least. However, if matters can be adjusted satis factorily for both parties in the Stray Hog. One certain male hog; took up at my place latter part of 1010.

' contest, we hope still to have the privilege of witnessing what would probably be the most skil fully played game of the season. The faculty team realizes fully what it has to face; and if they | have as hard time beating the senior girls in basket ball as they had in getting some of them to study, the outcome will indeed be doubtful. As wisdom directs, the male members of the faculty will be silent spectators of the contest. The influenza situation in the high school department seems to be well under control. None of t he dormitory students have “flu” at this time and efforts are being made to keep the students who have been exposed to it in town from scattering it in school. In accordance with the rule of similar schools and of the colleges all over the United States, the faculty last week passed a regu lation to the effect that every student who failed to appear at the time set for examination must pay a fee of one dollar for the privilege of getting examina tion. This regulation is designed to prevent students from evading examinations at the time set for them and later making requests of the teachers to give them again. The 8.-P. I. basket ball team will go to Hazlehurst for a game with the Hazlehurst High team Monday afternoon. Notice of Application for Parole. State of Georgia—Montgomery County.
