Considering the very disagreeable

which it bears is an evidence of the
high quality of work being done in
the High School.

ver miniature basket balls suitably en-
graved have been ordered for the
team, and letters will be presented.
For the first time in many years the
season has been a success financially.
It has paid its own way. All of the
players will be back next year and
Honey Grove will likely take its proper
place on the basket ball map of this
district.
Coach Griffith issued a call for
track and base ball players a few
days ago, and a very promising array
of recruits responded. The inclement
weather has checked the practice, but
when the sun shines again the stiff
legs and the rusty arms will limber
up. Some fast work will be necessary
to get ready for the county meet
which will be held in Bonham March
20. New uniforms have been ordered
for the base ball players.
Chapel Exercises.
The chapel exercises each Wednes-
day morning continue to be happy and
helpful features of the High School
program. The local pastors have reg-
ular appointments with us, and always
bring us a fine, inspirational address.
In addition, we have special numbers
by the town and school talent. Two
weeks ago the Honey Grove Band
gave a concert, and last week Mr.
Huston conducted a sing-song. We
appreciated the presence of the mem-
bers of the School Board, and invite
the parents to come to the chapel ser-
vices and visit the school.
