Editor's Note:—While swinging |
around over the territory served by
The Dallas Post we chanced last week
to visit’ the splendid schools in Lake
Township. The following article is
the result of conversations with stud-
ents, and ,& teachers who kindly
answered the many questions of an
inquisitive newspaperman.
Situated on a beautiful plot of |
ground at the western end of Har-

gymnasium, offices and library.
The building stands on a four acre
plot of ground and is surrounded by
beautiful lawns filled with artistic
flower beds that are kept in excel-
lent shape by Sherman “Pop” Davis.
An adjoining acre of woodland was
given to the school district for com-
munity school park and was purchas-
ed by the popular subscription of the
citizens of the distriet. In front of
the stucco trimmed building are
pleasant walks and a fine flagpole
mounted in a concrete base.
A four-year high school, it ranks
in the first class, being the only first- |

The Junior play, “Apple Blossom
Time” was given in the high school
auditorium on Thursday and Friday
evenings, April 256 and 26. A mat-
inee was given on. Thursday at two
o’clock. Prof. Taylor coached the
cast.
Arbor Day was observed at King-
ston Township school on Friday after-
noon. Trees, secured from Joseph
Illick, State forester, were planted.
The high school is indebted to Mrs.
Taylor for arranging another musical
program. A trio consisting of Mrs.
Rupprecht, Mrs. Pierson and Mrs.
Conrad sang the following selections:
“The Call.”
“Slumber Song.”
“Fair Damosel.”
“Springtime.”
“Hindu Slumber Song.”
“Wake Miss Lindy.
The high school appreciates Mrs.
Taylor’s efforts in providing such an
_~ excellent program. We also wish to
express our appreciation to the trio.
The Seniors gave their play, “Who
Wouldn't Be Crazy” in the Eatonville
M. E. Church last Friday night. This
Friday, just past, it was presented to
the people of Lehman in the Lehman
Church.
J. E. Reese Killgore was a caller
at the high school recently.
The school has received an invita-
tion to enter the Mt. Greenwood Ki-
wanis Bird House contest. All stu-
dents below the age of fifteen are
eligible. All houses must be deliv-
ered at the Colonial Tea Room be-

HIGH SCHOOL PAGE
This page is contributed to the interest
of all the High Schools served by The
Dallas Post. It has the approval and
active support of A. P. Cope, county
superintendent of schools and each of
the five superintendents. It is conducted
by these High Schools for three major
purposes: to foster, spensor and ex-
change High School and Inter-High
School activities of the respective schools;
to inform the public of this section
about matters pertaining to the school
life for which their taxes are paid; to
develop the literary talents of the stud-
ent editors of each class of the five
schools.
The first baseball game of the seas-
on will be played at Laketon on Fri-
day afternoon, May 3rd at 3:30. Prof.
Taylor is coaching the K. T. H. S.
team. We expect to have a very
fine team this season.
Attempts have been made to im-
prove the field at Shavertown but the
rain has had the better of the argu-
ment so far.
The high school operetta, “The
Toreadors” will be given in M. E.
Church, Shavertown, on May 6 and
7. From the rumors floating around
the operetta will surpass, by a large
margin, all previous operettas given
by the school. ;
We are glad to hear that quite a
few pupils are writing on the Brooks-
Bright Essay contest. Mr. Howell
generously gave five dollars to be
awarded to the best essay received
from each class. All essays must be
in the hands of the Brooks-Bright
establishment by May 1st.

The funeral of Howard Smith, five-
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis
Smith, of Carverton Road, was held
Monday afternoon. Howard was the
brother of Donald Smith of the Fresh-
man class.
Jennie Jackson, of seventh grade,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley
Jackson, was operated on for appen-
dicitis in the General Hospital on
Friday afternoon of last week. We
are glad to announce that Jennie is
improving nicely.

A number of repairs and improve-
ments have recently been made in
the plumbing and water systems of
the school. The plumbing was done
by Mr. Hallock, who also installed the
heating plant at the school.
The Junior Class is preparing a
play, “Nancy Anna Brow’s Folks,”
which will be presented early in May.
With a capable cast, it promises to
be well worth attending.
Lanceford Sutton, member of the
Junior Class, has purchased a new
Chrysler Plymouth Sedan from Jim
Oliver. As a result, Lanceford is
| hard to find at home. @ We hope he
will be wise enough to keep the car
locked in his garage during com-
mencement week.
The motor vehicle list is growing,
or has a growing list of what we
choose to call “victims.” Another
victim is Carl Brandon, president
emeritus of the Senior Class who has
| succumbed to the lure of the motor-
leyele. He has purchased a new In-

In Memoriam (??)
Behind the door in the old class room
The Senior Class sits in shrouds.
This class is’ a mighty one to roam,
They all are very proud.
The tears are rolling down their
cheeks,
And water pails are all about
To catch the salty tears
As they swiftly filter out.
They are dressed in black from head
to toe, -
As if they were in mouring,
And funny caps are on their heads,
With a silk tassel adorning.
We feel SO sorry for ’em all,
Their faces are so long—
But below we hear the Juniors,
Their voices raised in song.
How can they sing at a time like |
this—
A moment so sacred to all?
| Aren't they sorry for ’em?
—Not by the sounds in the hall.
No one is dead—nay, they're quite
alive,
They merely sit in waiting,
Waiting for the bell to ring
When they’ll be graduating.
The Juniors think that it’s great fun,
And are all participating
In a little party held down stairs
—By way of celebrating.
I'll keep you in suspense no more,
My pen is going. dry—
And if I say more of the Seniors
The Juniors will be sad—and cry.
So Ill tell you in a few short words,
The reason for this strange de-
meanor.
In Just a short while the Juniors will
