Pres ident Reynolds gave out the words, us- ing Westlake’s 3000 Practice Words and other members of the faculty act ed as a board ot reference on disputed points. For more than one hour the battle raged fast and furious. Every inch of ground was hotly contested and when the smoke of the conflict had cleared away the ground was strewed with the fallen braves, each of whom had gone down fighting to the last. The upper college classes, with the fifth and sixth grades, witnessed this battle of words and as the contest nar rowed to a few valiant knights on each side, the interest, grew intense. Man fully did the brave young sub Fresh men hold their ground, yielding only inch by inch, to the repeated onslaughts of the enemy. Victory wavered long in the balance, but finally settled upon the Freshman battle line, but it was by the narrow margin of two defenders left unscathed on the field of carnage.

Jan, 1st, 1902. Thus far the school has held together remarkably well. There has not been the usual dropping out by the local pu pils. Patrons are urged with emphatic insistence to keep their children in school through this week, and through Friday, the last day. They should not listen to the suggestion that it will make no difference if their children are not present the last few days. It does make a difference—to the pupil and to the school. Keep the children iu school. They have no other busi ness than going to school, and it is the parents business to see that their chil dren attend strictly and persistently to their business. * * * The school has f elt the deepest con cern for Miss Maud Townsend in her Miss Townsend severe and pro- Imtrovimg. tracted illness. And everybody connected with it re joices hi the assurance from the physi> eians in charge that she is on the road to recovery, Miss Townsend is popu lar with teachers and pupils. Her happy disposition and bright personal ity have made her a favorite in the school and in the community. All are happy in the knowledge that every thing now points to her speedy and complete recovery. LOCAL MENTION. Want a diamonu? See Williams, N ice hams at C. E.
