will begin his first year here, suc-
ceeding W. E. Cantrell.
The curriculum of the high achool
will have only one new subject, the
Csech language, which will be taught
by Miss Lillian Urbartovsky, who,has
just completed a summer's study at
the University of Texas. With about
25 affiliated credits in the high
school the local institution rates as
rue of the best in the state for a
town of this site. The grammar
school subjects, excepting a few
minor changes, will remain as they
were last year.
With repairs having been made on
both buildings during the summer
and the grounds of both having been |
kept in good shape by a specially
hired keeper everything is in readi-
ness for th* opening of the new
term. The grammar school enroll
ment is expected to near that of
last year, while the high school 1*
expecting one of the best years in
history. Last year in the high school
131 pupils, a record opening day en-
rollment, were present.
As was the case last year, the
school bus will continue to make its
daily roundx.to the Liberty Church
and- Tours districts to transport
transfer pupils to and from West.
Andrew Janek, who had .charge of
the bus last year, will again make
the rounds. During the spring term
last year the but was packed every
day and an equally large number of
pupils are expected to come to school
by that method this term.
Superintendent Jackson, who mov-
ed here only this summer, is an ex-
perienced school map, and has re-
ceived his M. A. degree from Texas
Technological College at Lubbock.
He is a native of Muenster, Cook
County,' and took his A. B. degree
from Baylor University. He has at-
tended the University of Colorado
for two summer*. 8ince 192$ he has
been in the school administrative
field, having been superintendent of
schools at Idalou, Amherst and Es-
telline. Mr. Jackson has a sympa-
thetic understanding of the problems
of school administration and there
is no doubt that he will make a suc-
cess hesc.
Members of the teaching staff
who will work with Mr. Jackson this
year are: grammar school, G. E.
Hutcheson, principal, A. W. Ferrill,
Mrs. Ira Clayton, Mrs. Bob Stallings,
Mrs. Bess Pierson, Miss Lydia Biekel,

ers about the children and their
work they may do so and the teach-
ers will cooperate fully. Miss Henri-

West Little Theater
Makes Another Hit
In a manner which capably fulfill-
ed the promise shown in their firat
production here last month, membero
of the West Little Theater scored »
second success in “The Angel at
Hell's Valley,” presented at the City
Hall last Friday night. There was
no doubt from start to finish of ita
acceptance by the audience.
Sponsored by the Westonian Or-
chestra, this production followed up
j last month's enjoyable play admir-
; ably by making a distinct hit. These
| youthful actors showed marked im-
prove! under the guidance of Direc-
tor Art Williams and completed the
evening with almost not a noticaMe
; blunder. This successful presentation*
insured further entertainment at the
hands of the Little Theater later in
; the season.
A darkened stage with the cert
singing about Nevada opened the
presentation and then the cast ef-
fected mutual introductions to the
audience. Effectively presented hu-
mor and action got the first act off
to a good start. Mrs. Frank Hlava-
ty's accordion numbers at the end at
the first act drew an encore with the
Westonian* furnished music at later
; interval*.
Bernard Helton’s Swift Eagle, the
Indian Chief whose primitive nature
same to the surface, scored a main
triumph. Realistic makeup and ex-
cellent acting made this role one at
the moat interesting of the evening.
standing role was that of "Mexico,"
the ailing cowboy, taken by Lanfard
Deveny. This young man showed Im-
provement over his August appear-
ance and made the most of his hu-
morous lines.
Miss Ruby Mae Groppe as Stray,
the Mexican gal, continued her un-
broken string of good perform ewjau
by taking full advantage of all her
scenes. Bill Devers in another come-
dy role did his usual beat despite a
alight nervousness. He has repeatai-
i ance. ,
Art Williams did the Colonel

tire stock of books.
