MARSHALLVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
NOTES
Cope Goodwill, Louise Doles, and;
Bernard Battle constitute the com¬
mittee from the High School to co¬
operate with the Library Committee ■
of the Parent-Teachers Association.
The Committee has laready begun
the compilation of a library cata¬
logue and it hopes soon to be able to j
lend books to citizens of Marshall
ville in general as well as to pupils in
the school. With a well arranged cat
alogue it will be possible to maintain
a set of checks on lent-out books
which will assure their return within
a certain period. It is hoped that
friends of the school who have con
templated giving books but who have
hesitated to do so because of an un¬
willingness to make gifts to see them
only carelessly husbanded, will, upon
this announcement, take heart, and
contribute liberally. This is an op
portunity not only to aid the school
library, but to set in swing a move¬
ment which may result in the estab¬
lishment of a small scale library
available to every body in Marshall
ville. We ask everybody for books.
Won’t you send us some?
There are so many new good things
at school this term that we are natur¬
ally inclined to overlook the old good
things that we have had heretofore.
Among . the ,v most , notable . of P tnese
“brought . overs ,, is . Miss Mary .. Nu$s XT ., .

had started on, and gives us and the
town, in general, always, ^resh con
fidence in ourselves to see that we
can accomplish here as much as can
be accomplished in larger places.

Reports for the first two
of the school term were given out'
Monday. On the whole, they showed
up well and the teachers expressed
themselves as pleased with the class
of work being done. i
Mr. Queener has announced that

that all pupils will so arrange any

THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY. GEORGIA
'to Macon to the Fair so that it
fall on that date, which is
i given for the purpose. October
was selected instead of November
because it was felt that by the
date the whole business of the
would have become so old that a
made then would not be so
as one made earlier.
The High School entertained
self—and a few visitors—at a
roast last Friday night in the
adjacent to the school house.
we:e roasted and bread toastd
the camp fire. Pickles, onions,
punch finished the menu. A
of games were played. In one of
Mr. Robert Slappey won as a
a large basket of cumquats. In
another, “Charades,” Oliver
and Miss Evelyn Timberlake
stars. Miss Timberlake’s
of Marseilles was especially fine.
The Varsity Basket Ball
both boys' and girls', are to be
lected next week. The Athletic
ciation takes ;his means of
ing any teams in the
towns. The boys have decided to
uniforms made up as follows:
trunks, black jerseys, with an
colored stripe. The girls are to
black sateen bloomers "with vvhiT
middies.
A Ouija Board which has found
way to the library, has been the
ter of interest lately in High
particularly among the girls—It
a very talkative board, indeed, and
consequently feels altogether at
in its new surroundings. Though
talks much it cannot be said that
“whispers too much” or that it “an¬
noys others.”
Mildred Jones and Lyra Hamilton
narrowly escaped a serious
when, not long ago, the buggy they
were driving home from school, was
dragged so forcibly against a tele¬
graph pole that its front wheel was
completely torn off. Both girls were
back at school as well as ever, and
with more than ever to tell about.
Virginia Bryan entertained Ber
nard Battle, Harris Richard and Hen¬
ry Floyd at an enjoyable and very
successful fishing party last Satur
day afternoon. Edwin Jones’ Ford,
like the man in the song rambled and
rambled until the butcher, or some
body, has cut it down Unlike the
man, however, the Ford continues
not only to navigate but to naviga ■
more and more freely. In its new
shape the Ford looks better than
ever and anybody can tell you that it
“wares” as well as could be sked.
It is hoped that the visitor in Mar
shallville last Wednesday night who
was looking for Louise Doles’ house
at last succeeded in finding it.

SENTENCED TO SAVE
Michael Noonan of Buffalo has the
habit now and the money, and he is
going to keep both. But a year ago he
had not either. A year ago Noonan
was arraigned in a Buffalo police
court. Judge Puper decided that what
Mike needed most was a course in
thrift and saving so he was sentenced
to turn over $15 a week for a year to
Arch C. Scoby, probation officer of
the court, to be invested in Govern
ment Savings Stamps,
Noonari faithfully obeyed the man
date of the court. In fact, he says he
“got stuck on it.” Some weeks he
handed over more than the required
amount, his top figure for one week
being $48.
On the day his probation was up,
Scoby was in court to turn over a
thousand dollars, the results of the
y ear 0 f saving, but Noonan did not
show up. Schoby got him on the tele
phone at the plant of the National
Carbon Co. at Niagara Falls.
‘I have got $1,000 for you, Mike
b e said. “You can have it in the
S av ings Stamps or you can have the
money. Come over and get it.”
M I’m too busy” answered Noonan
oveiythe wire. “Let the Stamps wait.
why would I be coming over for
^ em today? Id have to lay olf and
jij j ose money.”
Noonan has the habit.

AMAZING THRIFT PROGRESS
An amazing record of thrift ‘has
been made by societies connected
with the Boston Manufacturing Com¬
pany at Waltham, Massachusetts,
where there has been this year an
increase of three hundred percent in
the monthly savings of fhe members.
Not only did the habit of making
regular investments in Government
Savings Securities, Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates
take firm hold on the members of
these societies, but constantly in¬
creasing amounts were required to
uppiy the demands of employees who
were not members.
The employees of the Brown and
Sharpe Company of Providence,
Rhode Island, now lead all other in¬
dustrial plants in New England in the
value of savings safely invested in
Government Savings Securities. The
average monthly investment of the
Brown and Sharpe employees' is
$15,009. This concern lias 245 sav¬
ings dubs with over 5,000 members.
The thrift and savings exhibit of the
societies was displayed at the East¬
ern States Exposition recently held at
Springfield, Massashusetts. At this
exposition exhibits were displayed
showing that New England now has
over 2,000 Government Savings. So¬
