many results in the way of better
standing and .sitting positions are
already apparent, to say nothing
of huge appetites we are develop
ing. We are always glad to have
visitors. We practice Mondays,
r Tuesdays and Thursdays. Miss
Jackson is planning a track meet

and tennis.
The Alpha and Ochoconian foot
ball game, which was played last
Thursday proved clearly the supe-

the game. We hope to see another
such exciting game soon in which
the former will match "pep" and
score with the latter.
