GENERAL SCHOOL NOTES

By Lenore Wertheimer

Fisher in discussing surplus ““What do you have to have to be able to save?” Pollard: “A job.” - : Jack Vanderford expressed the opinion that a blind man can’t lie because he can’t see hi sown facial expressions. Bob Watel countered - with: “Personally, I never look in the mirror when I tell one but if you’re a professional liar” * * #* Just what were you inferring, anyway, Bob? : The girls of the Senior class gave a kitchen, linen, and miscellaneous shower for Elizabeth Kuhn until recently a member of the class, who was married a few ‘weeks ago. We believe that she will have no excuse for . not cooking, from now on. We all join in wishing both her and her husband loads of goog luck. It’s come to the place where every time someone makes a “break” in class the teacher turns on me, pointing a long bony finger, and says “Don’t put that in the paper” Ah, for . the life of a reporter. At the Kendallville game in order to put up a solid front the repartmental group organized a Booster’s Club. The high school also held a very vigorous pep session. We had all hopeq it would bring us a little luck, anyway. We certainly needed it! Miss Ena Oliver of the Oliver Beauty Shop is giving the Home Economics « [Club girls a treat at some indefinite date—from all indications, somettime this week. She will demonstrate to the club proper use of cosmestics. One hundred per cent was recorded last week for the Fifth and Sixth grades of the North Side School and for the First grade girls of the South Side. : Elizabeth Patton brought some very interesting copies of the Ladies Home Journal to Home Economics class Tuesday. The magazine dates as far back as 1897 and ’9S.

JUNIOR NEWS. By Max Schlabach

Last week Virgil Yoder, Bud Levy, Bernard Renner, Richard Felten and {Sam Oldfather presented a sketch, entitled *“The Virginia Convention”. This was pPresenteq before the Junior English class. Sam Oldfather, who starred in the Junior class play as Doctor Bellows, took the part of Patrick Henry and play it as well as Patrick himself could hawve done. Viril Yoder played the part of the judge while the others acting the part of delegates .also did fine. In fact I believe those fellows have a great future hefore tmem in the way of a stage career; yes probably a long way before them, \ Several Juniors are trying for the prize that is offered by the American Legion fo rthe best essay ~ entitled “Peace With Security.” ‘There are rumors going around that our class president, Mary Gross, will be leaving us before long to > move to Indianapolis where she will attend one of the high schools.

Miss Bolitho seems to be having a hard time trying to get the “Thereom of Pythagoras,” sunk into the heads of the geometry students. It is surely a very good thing for Pythagores, the green mathematician, that he lived in 00 B.C. because if he were alive now I am afraid the geometry class would be planning revenge. : FRESHMAN NEWS.

Not much news this week, unless it would interest you to hear of the days we have spent in English class reading (to ourselves) the whole story of “Kidnepped” in our literature books. : A short game was played Friday night between two girls’ basketball tecames.

DEPARTMENTAL NEWS.

The Eighth grade pupils are studying stocks and bonds in Arithmetic. The Hygiene lessons this week throughout the departmental school are pointing toward an improvement in the care of the teeth. Percent signs and fractions equivalent are much in evidence in Arithmetic six, for they have begun the study of percentage. ; Miss Neidhardt was absent from school Monday and Tuesday with a bag cold. Scarlet and Green caps were much in evidence at the Kendallville game last week. Every member of the Departmental Booster Club was presented the cap by C. S. Griffith. Even though Ligonier came out on the small end of the score, the Rvoosier Club supported our team to the finish. The Blue Racers defeated the. LaGrange grades here Saturday evening by @ score of 30-7. The Blue Racers under the direction of Coach Emerson have won all but cne game this year. They lost to Goshen, a much larger and more experienced team, earlier in the season. Even though the Blue Riacers started witn an almost entirely new squad chis year, they are keeping up the excelient record that Ligonier grade teams have made in the past. : * In reading the stock uotations of Marx Motors Monday, Xathryn Patton gave the Eighth grade a laugh by reading it Marx Brothers. Why is it that things are better done in the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth grades than the Fifth? Look over the honor and merit lists and see if ;you can tell? The answer will be given next week. A

GRADE NEWS. By Barbara Lyon.

The girl studen:s of the Fourth grade had one-hundrej percent attendance last week. James Watel was absent from the Fourth grade Thursday and Friday because of a bad cold. The Third grade after a study of Japan and its people, are starting this week to make a largs Japanese poster. . i The Second grade is finishing their health ' posters which they made in connection with writing. . Beg your pardon! The second grade had just finished their clocks rather than the Third grade. ICOMETS ARE VICTORIOUS, 235.23. - Turning on full power in. the last three minutes of the game the Kendallville Comets stepped in to a 35-23 ‘victory over the Scarlet and Green ‘The game was nip and tuck for a fall 29 minutes of play and the Comets were leading 27-21 with but three ‘minutes remaining to play when they put on their final purt which gave them a safe vistory. - Leq by Taylor the Blue and Gold stepped into an early 5-0 lead before the locals could find the basket. The Fishermen began to tighten up on defense and immediately put on a little drive of their own which ended the quarter with the Comets out in front 8-6. The second stanze was fought on fairly even terms although the Comets held a one point edge they -inereased their margin to 15-12 as the first half ended. The local lads were almost completely stopped in the first part of the third quarter and thus allowed the Comets to get away to a 19-12 lead before any action was taken, but all of a suddent something happened and within a very short time the Scarlet and Green had staged a rally that had carried them into the leag for the only time during the game 21-19. And just when it looked as though the Fishermen were out to win after all again something happened and the locals cracked wide open and from then on it was all Kendallville. The ‘Comets put up a rally and as the thirg quarter ended they were leading 27-21. Never to be headed they went in through the final quarter with much ease and coasted on to a 35-23 victory. ‘,

The Ligonier Reserves dropped a 25418 decision to the Kendallville seconds. < Kendallville lead at the halé 12-9. : Middlebury Here Saturday. On Saturday evening of this week the Fishermen will have as their guests the strong quintet from Middlebury, The ‘“Middies” have had an exicellent season and are counted as a contender for sectional honors' in that section. . ' The locals have reorganized and will present a determined bunch of fighters. Although the middies are very strong, the Scarlet and Green hope to upset the dope bpcket and come out with a win. Assurance of an adequate municipal airport for Angola came when Mayor William F. Shearer received a telegram advising him that the city’s request for $lO,OOO of public works administration funds to prepare the ‘f.iel'd had been approved.

Second Breeding Place @ of Blue Goose Found + Discovery of a second breeding ground of the mysterious blue goose on the dreary Southampton island In Hudson bay is reported in the Auk, organ of the American Ornithological association, by Dr. George M. Sutton of Cornell university. The blue goose is very abundant In winter about the mouth of the Mississippi but, until two years ago, its summer quarters were unknown. It ' seemed to disappear entirely over the northern horizon. Then a large nesting ground was found in Baffin land. On Southampton island, 600 miles to the westward and with an area of 19,000 square miles, Doctor Sutton found an enormous summer bird pop- ‘ ulation, many thousands of blue geese mingling with their. close relatives, ’ the lesser snow geese. The whole island ‘" has only about-140 Eskimo inhabitants, so the birds are little molested. Their nests are scattered through ‘ the grass ranges between the nui merous lakes, generally close to the shore. As scon as the young are able to take care of themselves the geese move inland in family groups, feed--1 Ing until late August when all reassemble for the migration southward, ~ The blue goose family, Doctor Sut- ‘ ton found, is a rather stable organization, the male and female remaining devoted to each other and their young through the summer, Whether these families are broken up after the migration is unknown, :

Wellington on Day of Downfall of Napoleon Although Napoleon’s mistakes served to heighten the disaster to the French at Waterloo, the allied victory never would have been possible without Wellington’s cool, brilliant leadership and Indomitable courage, writes Philip Guedalla in his biography, “The Iron Duke.” It was a miracle that Wellington came out of the terrific battle alive, he continues, for ‘“‘as usual, he was everywhere, fighting his line along the ridge as a commander fights his ship in action.” £ “He rode ‘Copenhagen,’ ahd all day long the . hestnut carried him ™~ along the lanes of weary men. Each shift of the interminable battle elicited a gruff comment or an order scrawled on a scrap of parchment. . . . Late that night Blucher met in the road on horseback and clasped a weary duke. Wellington rode slowly back to Waterloo. There was no feeling of elation, and they were all exhausted. Besides, he had a solemn notion that, where sc¢ many had fallen close to him, he had somehow been preserved by Providence.”

What She Meant

A young sea captain who lived on a small farm married a village maiden, Susan Margaret. Before sailing the young captain advised his bride, Susan Margaret, “while I am away have Frank, the hired man, feed two quarts of middlings to the cow twice a day.” Later the bride said to the hired man, “Frank, when you go to town get a sack of half-ways.” : “What, ma’am?” asked Frank. ; “Get a sack of half-ways while In town,” the lady repeated, more clearly. “I do not know what you mean,® replied the bewildered man. g “My husband said, ‘Feed the cow four quarts of half-ways evéry day. As there are none in the bin I wish you to get a sack while in town,” said the lady with much dignity. ; . When the man could control his voice sufficiently he queried, “Ma’am, do you mean a sack of middlings?’— Lewiston Journal. : :

Ancient Markets

There is no city in the modern world which has as great a variety of markets as Paris. On Sundays the bird market is held in Place de la Cite, where hundreds of birds are “sold for a song.” The horse market is held Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Next to it is the dog market. There are several flower markets—in the Cite Quai Wednesdays and Saturdays, and in the Place de la Madeleine. There’s a postage stamp market on Thursday and Sunday afternoons in the Avenue Marigny, and, of course, the flea market of every conceivable' article held at Saint-Ouen. At the diamond market precious stones are sold by handfuls on the streets. :

America Gets Relics

~ Many of ‘the doors and fireplaces - from the 300-year-old New inn, Park street, Windsor, were sold for shipment ' to America. The house had been demolished. lln the room where the Beefeaters held their feasts a number of coins bearing the date 1800 were found. A concealed trap-door leading 'to a stable was discovered under the floor, and here a large quantity of old pattern live cartridges were concealed. An oven found in the basement went to the British museum, as it is believed to be the only model of this particular type in existence.—London Morning Post. : : Wik

Care of Goldfish

A salt bath is beneficial to goldfish as a remedy for parasites and fungus growth which attacks them.

This treatment may be profitably repeated daily for two or three days.

EXECUTION OF M’DOUGLE

Notorious Blackleg of Noble County Hanged to Tree 76 Years . Ao ;

~ Seventy-six years ago, on January 26, 1858, occurred the execution byi hanging of Gregory ‘McDougle, notorious black leg and bad man, parti—“ cularly active in Noble county. His 1 arrest along with others of the gang had been effected several days before at Rome City by members of the Regulators who took their captives to Ligonier. Following a line of ‘questioning by a committee of Regulators a confession was made by McDougle with the result that his death by hanging wasg decreed. The execution is said to have taken place on Diamond hill. After preparations 'were completed, McDougle is said to have welcomeq and greeted the crowd gathered to witness his punishment. He admonished his hearers especially the young men, to take a lesson from him, “The first deviation is the worst, the progression then ig easy to robbery and finaly to murder.” They ' (the Regulators) are justified and I hope they will succeed in their undertaking and root out all ihe thieving coining counterfeiting and horse steaing. My only source is God. I trust to Him for mercy. I trust in the Lord.” Following his death, his body is said to have been taken to Rome ICity, to the house now owned by John ‘Winton. Interment was made in the Northport cemetery a mile north of ' Rome City. Anyone familiar with the location of the grave may see the tombstone from the highway. The carving represents an open Bible with the inscription, “My Husband Rests in Heaven” McDougle was born in Canada in 1831. . ICrime continues throughout the years. Horse stealing the major offense in the days of the blacklegs and Regulators has gone modern, and now three-quarters of a century later, auto theft takes its pace. Second only to horse stealing was the coun.terfeiting which is still a source of trouble today. Surely crime has not diminished but the center of activity has moved and Noble county enjoys a’ more savory reputation today than it did when McDougle paid the price.
