VOTE oe HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
School notes are meager this week as the editor is away and local jokers offered little material. The football game and a Friday debate at Central University drew students from town while Prof Colvin and others journeyed to Danville for the College debate. Springfield people cheered Centre against Miami, and a playful overcoat mix up provided comic relief as a student borrowed his brother’s Sunday frock instead of an overcoat. The mandolin and guitar club grows to over thirty members with photos taken this week.
