Play. Which will be Pre
sented First: Week In May
Miss Comings to be the
Principal Coach.
A mooting of the male student
body of the Gillinm County High
School was called In the Assem
bly room Wednesday morning by
President Herbert Clarke, for
tho purpose of deciding which
line of Athletic activity should
be selected and for making prep
arations for carrying out the
same. Several of tho boys were
in favor of a track team but the
majority favored baseball. Ac
cordingly Will Willkiris was el
' ectod manager and Robert Fitz
maurice, captain. It was decid
ed to have the first regular
practice at the Condon Fark
Grounds Saturday when the
nlavers will be assigned their
respective- positions. In all
probability Clarke and Wilkins
will form the battery, the form
er doing the twirling. Manager
Wilkins has ordered a complete
outfit of Darauhonalia from the
A. J. Reach Co., and when these
different articles arrive they
will immcdiitly challenge the
Wheeler Ctunty High School
for the opening game. Owing
to the fact that the High Schooi
has but seven players, Will
Ilollcn and Vere Shaw, students
of the Academy, will make up
tho deficiency of membership.
As these two boys are taking j
regular High School studies at
the Academy they are eligable
to play with the G.C.H.S. and
no trouble is anticipated from
other schools on their account. ,
Preparations are going on
swiftly for the annual play to be
given the first week in, May by
the students of the Gilliam Coun
ty High School. Miss Comings,
who is an experienced dramatist
will bo the principal coach assist
ed by Prof Jesso Bond. Follow
