are not new rules, but are very important. This week finds three new scholars in high school making total enrollment 140. Fred Meyers, of Preble township, is able to be in school again with the aid of crutches. Fred is in the senior class. It will be remembered that he was injured at his home a few weeks ago while he was doing some work. It will be some time before his knee is entirely healed. The junior class will lose one of their best students this week. Francis Gast will move with his parents to Tacoma, Wash. Francis was president of the class and will be missed: by all D. H. S. students. The base ball team played their first real game of ball against the alumni last night. Both teams had a strong lineup, Smith and France formed the battery for the H. S. and Buffenbarger and Bohnke for the alumni. The score was 3 and 2 in favor of the H. S. Earl Colter entertained a few H. S. students at his home in Rjvarre, last evening in honor of Francis Gast, who leaves next week. The H. S. base ball team went to Van Wert today to cross bats with the H. S. team of that city. A bunch of rooters accompanied the team and will help fight for victory. This, the end of the third week of school, finds everything going on in fine shape—better than ever. — NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS.
