Jottings From Our Schools Architect Submits Plans For The New High School PIIVSICAI. DIRECTOR UNGER WILL ATTEND FOURTH \NNI AL; CONVENTION OF STATE PHYSICAL IMRKfTORS TO I1E HELD AT TRENTON

Tliiuri-"on,h,>' ">celinK "r thp Hoard uf Education, was held in the High School building, Inst • Tuesday evening. All members were present, except Mrs. Randolph Fogg, who was out of the Vivian Smith of Atlantic City, who' has l>ecn appointed architect . of the new High School building here was present and submitted . tentative plans, for the structure. ] It was derided that the new , School should be of the Eliza- . bethian style of architecture. The Hoartl discussed at some , length, some of the difficulties experienced by the High School in : .^•curing a suitable basket ball , hall, and the conditions under . which they have to play. The . memlicrs felt that they would like j to see basket ball continued, and , advised that games lie arranged, , just in proportion to the amount, | which the treasurer of the High | School Athletic Association, has | set aside for that purpose. The Board felt that they would , like to do something for the foothall team, so decided to give a ■ dinner to them, on Monday even- , ing, Dec. 4th. The dinner will lie , given in the rooms of the High | School Domestic Science Depart- , ment, and will lie prepared by . Miss Nickcrson and her cooking class. The School News, which now appears in both the Ocean City Weekly papers, was commented upon, and thought that this work, , ami the writer of the notes, should ' lie encouraged, and highly commended. Ever so many people hare stated, that they know more about what is going on, ami more almut the schools, than they ever Superintendent J. M. Stevens, stated, that for the month of Octidier, there were 882 enrolled, and the percentage of attendance was 93.21. The greater part of the evening was taken up, in the discussion of the new building. It is believed that there are no other people in Ocean City devoting as much time and thought to'~This building, as the Board of Education, unless it would be Pros. Stevens, who is at would be Pro". Stevens, who is at

work practically day and night in making the plans just so. No doubt when the building begins, Prof. Stevens will know where every brick goes, and will knowhow many jt will take to complete the structure. RECEPTION TO TEACHERS The Board further decided, to give a reception to the teachers, soon after the Holidays. Two com"mittees were appointed. The social committee consisted of Mrs. Randolph Fogg, anil Willard Adams, and the entertainment committee, are Mrs. Ralph Goff,; and Dr. J. Th'omley Hughes. THANKSGIVING PLAT A number of the pupils selected from the various grades, will give a Thanksgiving play, in the High School Auditorium, next Monday evening, at 8 o'clock, under the direction of Miss Louisa Corson, Supervisor of 'Music. This will constitute the first school entertainment, this year. C OUR YE- YE- YE- YELLS! If you happen to run across "nmeone, that went to Atlantic City, Sat. Nov. 4, when our team tied the Atlantic City H. S. Re--erves 6-6, just ask them how Atlantic Qity, yelled and sang their songs. They followed their cheer leader, and kept in perfect unison, making their songs and yells worth white. Are we doing so? No, when our cheer leaders, Waiter Huff, and Mary Collins, want to sing or yell a certain number, there are immediately some, who want to do. something else, and because they cannot have their way, refuse to sing or yell Unless we •ill enter into this in a wholeheatred manner, and put all the pep and spirit we have into it, we may as well be quiet, for all the good it will do our boys, who are f on the field to fight for us. If V. \ hose boys 'are willing to give their best for us, we should be more than willing, to do our share. Let's show the teams we are behind them, by giving them some real singing and yelling, next Saturday, in the last home game, and during the last game of the season with Pleasantville at Pleasantville, mi Thanksgiving Day. It' is the only way, we can show we appreciate what they are doing for us. CAKE SALE The A. J. F. Club, held a Cake

■ Sale, Jast Saturday in Tranquilluj i Shoe Shop, and a dance in the | t evening, in the llann Building, s from which they realized a neat - little sum for their treasury. MINISTERIAL ENTHUSIASTS j • The students, and- the football 1 ' team, should feel proud of U.J f ministers of our town. They are! ' always present at our football ■ games, at home and away. They j ' are always willing to lend their assistance in every way possible. This they have shown on the lo-; - cal field upon several occasions. When an injury happens, they are ' the first upon the field, to heip 1 the injured. Many will recall the r argument into which they entered, p with the officials over a decision | " in the game at Atlantic City, which , ' nearly cost them a ride off thej • field. They were perfectly right: • in discussing this argument. In lie- j 1 of our team. Had the decision: 5 ruled properly, our team. ^ would have probably won the We are now speaking of Rev. 1 of the • Presbyterian ' Church, and Rev. Buck of the BapE tist Church. These men certainly' 1 believe in the triangle of life, namely, spiritual, mental and '' physical. J Ones interest in "anything, is nl-i ways indicated by their presence. '' FOOTBALL TEAM ELATED The football team is elated over: ' the fact, that the Board of Ednca- 1 tion, has kindly consented to fur-j nish a dinner for them on Monday) evening, Decemlx-r 4th, at 6:30 e o'clock, in the Domestic Science 0 rooms, of the High School Buiidr | ing. Miss Ethel Nickcrson anil ; her cooking class, gladly respond-' '• ed to the call. Efforts are being j made to secure a couple of speakers, from the members of the! s Penn Football team, or Svrarthmore Football team, r ' PROF. UNGER TO ATTEND CONVENTION " Physical Director Unger, will attend the Fourth Annual Conven-; tion, of the physical directors of t the State of New Jersey, which

Mrs. Unger will conduct the' physical training classes, during ' Prof. Unger's absence. i THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY < ,1 The schools will close next Wed- ' e nesday P. M., for the Thanksgivh ing vacation.

In nearly every paper : one picks up, something is said about this certain school's football team. For a while the team was ,r, going to play Walte High School, I Toledo, Ohio. That fell through. r_ i Now -they are going to play the „jlai Grange High School eleven of 10 Chicago, 111. We will bet a tooth ,e pick and a glass of water, that the j. game will never come off. Well. {,l after all, it pays to advertise. ! 1- ' K POTTER AND THE CLAY t_ About 150 of the public school . children, attended the entertain-' ment, in the Methodist Church lost Saturday evening, given by J. 1 Smith Dam ran. The subject was "The Potter and The Clay." The entertainment was very instriict_ tive, and the children as well as the older people, were pleased. ,f Too bad that there were not more ;h of the school children present.

The life and customs of the , are the features this month in the Hand and Drawing > work. In the second grade, the f children are making a four page . called, "The First Thanks- , giving."

CHORAL SOCIETY The Choral Society, with Scott Adams as Director, rendered two selections "Anchored," and "Smiling Through," at the Morning Assembly Hall exercises, last Friday ^ morning. From the applause j which they received, it was manifest that the selections, were . greatly appreciated. FEMALE IMPERSONATOR Leslie Smith, appeared as a female impersonator and dancer, at a fraternity, at the Bellevue (i Stratford Hotel, in Philadelphia, last Saturday night. His fame is ever spreading. 5 OFF TO WILDWOOD There were about 40 of the High School students who accome panied the football team, to Wildc wood last Saturday. This showsit that school spirit is gradually increasing. GRADE SCHOOL ROOTERS if] The grade children, who attend- ,

s ed the Football game,, between the I s Pleasantville High School Flesh- t t men, and our Junior High team, o - on the local grounds, last Thurs- c -J day afternoon, deserves comment 8 n upon the way they cheered our;* e team to victory.

This was j f. shown last Tuesday afternoon, ! ii e when twenty-three turned out for), I practice. j k DR. J. THORNLEY HUGHES : fi HONORED u J We believe that the readers ofjt . School News, are not only glad tojP ' read about the students, anil the t _ school actitities, but about anyone |h , who is connected with the schools. " 'We learned that Dr. J. Thomlcy 1 .Hughes, Vice-President of the l " Board of Education, has been taken ; 1 ' in as an Honorary Member, of the j ■' local chapter of the Veterans of ' ' Foreign Wars. He championed ! ' I several notable civic, and patriotic * movements, in Ocean City during s * the war. Dr. Hughes was instru- v J] ! mental in raising the monument, V jl which- now stands on the City Hall a lawn. He devoted the use of his v I : drug store for various activities, f ' He also was prominent in various e war drives, and active in the local t j< Red Cross movement. There are I I, | only four such honorary member- t i ships in the local organization. v '"IPAUL W. GIBBONS ADDRES- t SES SCHOOL o | Mr. Paul W Gibbons, President I : of the Lawn Tennis Association of ' | Philadelphia, a member of the ' ;t National Executive Committee, 1 , representing New Jersey, Pennsylj vania and Delaware, gave an in- •' e teresting talk before the High 1 School student, jn the Assembly s Hall last Wednesday afternoon, j He told the students that tennis e was far from being a game for 1 women only. He used to think that 'football and baseball, were ]

only games, but he finds that ' these games are only good while i ' is ui college. After leaving i college, if one wanted to have a of football or baseball, it would be impossible to find 23 men, who would want to risk their lives in such a game. He said. . that golf and tennis, were games that could he played all through It develops muscles, honesty . and courage; and makes a man better in everyway. Mr. Gibbons, praised Mr. Harvey !mke, who for sixteen years, held the championship of South , We should consider our-1 selves fortunate, in having such a man in our midst, one who is will- . ing to show us how to play tennis. It is hoped that a tennis for boys and girls, will be or- • ' ganized in the spring. Quite a . i number of our students, took ad- ! vantage of the courts this Fall. PROF. REICH LEY'S TALKS The students arc always glad | ; welcome, the talks of Principal | Rcichlev on the first school morn- • , following a victory for our ; teiVn. Last Monday mom- : he detained the students, and ; discussed the game with Court I House, defeating them by the ! score of 20-6. Among the many; things which occurred in this : game, he said, probably 90 If of 1 1 the people failed to see the inside j ' | plays — the work of the men on the line — how they would work in j harmony in opening places for the , with the ball to. go through. .The men who opened the way, ; should lie given as much credit as , ; the man who scored the touch- ' down. Principal Reichiey also said, j that school spirit had to come I within oneself. We may talk ; school spirit, all we please but if we -do not put it into action, little i will be the results. He also told , about some high school students,; who showed real spirit when they; | that three of the best playon the football team, one of them the captain, were going, be- . hind in their studies, and unless they could pass their examinations! would be ineligible to play. The students got together, joined tutoring parties and went to work: at once to help the backward ones.j hard work and faithful study,) - with the whole school helping thej , three passed their examinations! and played on the team. Let us ail develop that kind of) . spirit and help each other, not by j silent but by being active.
