High School Round Table Organized
Last Monday afternoon the boys and
girls of the High School who had
made not) less titan 80 on any sub
ject were organized into a High School
Round Table. Annie Rosansky was
chosen president, Pimory Herring vice
president, and J. C. High secretary
treasurer. The boys and girls were
then divided into two groups, Duffie
Williams being made leader of one
and Nell Wilson the other. The flames
selected for these groups were Joel
Chandler Harris and Sidney Lanier.
The first meeting of the Round
Table will be held P'riday evening,
Nov. 17, at 7:30 at the home of Miss
Nell Wilson The program will con
sist of a number of literary and mu
sical selections and a debate on the
subject, ‘‘Resolved, that the pulpit has
more influence than the press.” The
Joel Chandler Harris division will rep
resent the affirmative and the Sidney
ianier Ihe negative.
School Campu* Improvement.
Splendid headway toward the :m
--provement and beautifying of the
school grounds has been made through
rhe efforts of a committee from the
P.-T. A. Working with Mr. Downs,
This work has been sponsored and
financed by the P.-T. A.
Among some of the things *hat have
been done are the planting of privet
hedges about the building as far back
as the side entrances, and evergreens
have been placed at the heads and
corners of these hedges. Simple tho
these additions may be, there is a
marked improvement in the attract
iveness of the front portion of the
campus.
When you consider that nine months
out of each year and from six to
seven hours of each day, five days in
the week is spent IV your child on
the school grounds or in the building,
doesn't it behoove you as a father or
mother to see that your child is re
ceiving proper ideas about the con
dition of his premises and surround
ings? Arc you not interested in see
ing that he receives the proper con
ception of a home beautiful, school
beautiful and city beautiful, so that
in future life he may carry these ideas
into the home life of future America?
This work has only just been begun
and in order to carry 4 it to a successful
finish it is going to* be necessary for
every parent to contribute toward
this fund for the beautifying of our
school campus. It 4s an investment of
a small amount in a worthy cause
that will mean the realization of en-
| riched character and life, the princi
( pal object of the school.
Please consider kindly any appeal
that may come to you and the
school campus a thing of beauty and
attractiveness —a place of pride and
of joy.
The Senior Play.*
The senior play given at the city
hall on Nov. 2 was a success from
every standpoint. Those taking part
j in the play and the musical selections,
\ together with the hearty co-ocpration
i of the public, made this success pos
sible. We wish to thank them for
their courtesy, and trust that they
will he as much interested in our fu
ture entertainments. -
The door receipts amounted to $87.10
and th* sum will be used in replen
‘ ishing the school library.
Boys Basketball Team.
The boys team last week played two
games,, the first being against Lyons
on Wednesday, and though our hoys
were defeated they put up a good
fight. The other game was between
our school team and a team composed
of town boys, and in this game the
school hoys were the victors.
It is said there will be another in
the near future and we are looking
forward to it with much impatience.

The Story of t'he Piano.
The piano was invented by Chris
tophori in the early part of the 18th
century. The exact date is ot known.
The piano was invented in Italy. It
was invented because people wanted
an instrument upon which they could
vary its tones. 1
Mozart did not like the piano, but
advised other people to learn to play
upon it. He preferred the harpsi
chord, because he could play that bet
ter than he could the piano and he
knew it w'ould take some time to
learn the latter.
Johann Sebastian Rach did not like
the piano at first, but later he prais
ed it.
C.lementi wrote the first music for
th piano. This music w*as Three So-
