Mr Goodard, State supervisor
of schools was in Perry Friday for
the purpose of calling a meeting

came up to tho school and made
the high school a most interesting
talk, explaining the work and

The Grammer school has a new
teacher, Miss Sarah Mercer of
Bradley. She has taken charge of
the fifth grade. Miss Moats and
Miss Chestnut have divided the
third grade Miss Moats also has
the sixth grade and Mias Chest
nut the fourth. This leaves the
Grammershcool pretty well provid*
ed for but the High school is
sadly in need of another teacher.
With one more teacher two and
possibly three main courses. This
would bo a decided help to those
pupils who aro not going to college.
As it is all pupils are required to
take the same course no matter
what their life work is going to be.
However in the eighth and eleven
th grades the students have been
allowed to drop one study. The
eleventh are allowed their choice
of dropping latin or physics while
the eighth havo been allowed to
drop science. Exceptional stu
dents are permitted to take all five
studies however if they so desire.
English, history and mathematics
are required throughout the school*
The enrollment was increased to
304 when 3 new pupils entered
last week.
Real basket ball praotioe started
last week and some very promising
material was on hand. Practice
will be held every Tuesday and
Thursday.*
The girls of Perry High School
from the seventh to the eleventh
grade held a meeting last week for
the purpose of reorganizing their
Athletic Association. Miss;Luoile
Beckham was elected President &
Miss Magaret Mann Secetary and
Treasurer.
Practice in basketball and
volley ball have already begun
and all the girls seem very in-
thusiastiov We hope this year to
have a good many competitive
games and we are all going to
work hard to be victorious.
