have also been purchased.
A call meeting of the P-T A. was

of discussing the subject of hot
lunches in the school. Several busi-
ness details regarding other matters

the same.
The final score for the girls was
16-13 in favor of Gulf and 28-10 for
the boys in favor of Bay City.
Mr. Meyers, the coach, and history

We disagree with the seniors when
they say that they took the best-
looking picture. Why, we think we
are the best looking. But of course,
everyone differs in opinions.
Boy! We had a six week's test in
tenth history Friday that was hard
enough to make everyone’s head
swim. That is nothing unusual be-
cause Mr. Meyers always uses the
tests that Mr. Marr has made out
several years past. No wonder they
are always corkers.
