So carefully had everything
been planned by County Super

out the slightest sign of friction,
and is running now to the entire
satisfaction of every one con
cerned.
The day instructors, mentioned
in last week's News, were on
the carpet at the opening, and as
one after another took his place
on the rostrum, it soon become
patent that no mistake had been
made in their selection.
Of the eighty-two teachers in
the County, eighty-one were pres
ent at the opening. While the
weather has been somewhat
rainy, the temperature has been
mi'd, and has not interfered with
the attendance upon the evening
lectures and entertainments. Dr.
James Hedley was here during
Joseph F. Barton's administra
tion as county superintendent,
and repeated his lecture on the

hearing for the first time, got a
lesson that was well 'orth list
ening to.

C. V. S. N. S. Notes.
Our Basket Ball team won one
of the fastest games ever wit
nessed on our floor on Saturday
afternoon, by defeating the All
Scholastic Five of Steelton, score
27 2G. The visitors were in the
lead at the ending of the first
half, but at the ending of the
last half, the locals succeeded in
tying the score. During the five
minutes extra, which is required
to finish a tie game, the Normal
boys succeeded in scoring the
winning point. Grove, Barnhart
and Boden starred for Normal,
while Krout and Atticks played
the best game for the visitors.
The Thanksgiving Play proved
to be very successful. The whole
cast, which consisted of forty-
one members, was photographed,
and it will appear in the next
number of the school catalogue.
The proceeds of about $140 will
go to further the work of the
Christian organizations.
Messrs. Glenn Lehman and
Clyde Barnhart rendered two
very good duets in Normal Liter
ary Society last Friday evening.
Dr. Ezra Lehman will be pres

McConnellsburg on Thursday and
Friday of this week, where he
will meet many former students
and graduates of this school.
M'alevy's War Against the Constitution
Does Pennsylvania remember
Uobin Hood? Does she recall the
bi-ld outlaw who defied law and
order for his political beliefs?
McAlevybas no rank in the
forefront of the state's heroes,
but for all that he was a com
manding figure back in the days
of the constitutional troubles.
Lie was the type of man who gets
what he wants regardless of laws
and rules. He was not a man
to sit still under what he consid
ered injustice, so he rose and de
tiled the whole nation.
His personality and historic
adventures are told in "McAlevys
War against the Constitution."
