Southeast Arkansas school notes and sports update
Since Christmas, pupils enrolled across grades with Edith Buckner and Georg Keith in grade one, Lillian Weathersby grade three, Merel Kimbrough grade four, and Bessie Mercer in high school. The basketball squad practices in new suits amid a scheduled game with Tillar on Friday the twelfth. A new court and goals in the ball park aid visiting teams' expenses. The science three class now studies botany, with zoology experiments to finish year end. Two pictures loaned to the English room by Miss Pugh and Mrs. Otto M. Brown enhance literature study, including Sunset on the Bay of Capri and Longfellow’s Hiawatha. An Ojibway portrait, tied to Great Lakes lore, adds cultural context. A calendar featuring Shakespeare joins new window shades and pot plants for the room. Tenth-grade students enjoy English grammar revision.
