Big Things In Athletics Planned By Raleigh Hi Games With Some of Best Teams in Country Will Be Played COACH LEAGARD IS ENTHUSIASTIC Raleigh High is planning to put into effect the best schedule in foot ball it ever has had. There will be games w'th Char lotte, Wilson, Durham, Tech Hi of Atlanta, Stevens Hi (nationally fa mous) team from Dayton, Ohio, and Sanford and three other first-rate teams.'" To do this it is, of course, neces sary to have sufficient funds, and right here is the weak point of Ra leigh High an absence of means to carry on any athletic program. The management of the High School has put on the market about one thousand season tickets, which are being sold. These, however, are not going rapidly enough, and an added stimulus must be given in order to- put this thing through suc cessfully. A lack of funds is now hampering the basketball schedule of the High School, and much of this is due to the lack of interest shown by the students in their team. The proposed football schedule is a&JollQwai ij , Sept. 25 Open. Oct. 3 Henderson; here. Oct. 9 Wilson; here. Oct. 17 Tech Hi; here. Oct. 24 Charlotte, at Charlotte. Oct. 31 Sanford; here. Nov. 6-7 Open. Nov. 13-14 Open. Nov. 20-21 Open. Thanksgiving Durham; here. Dec. 5 Stevens; here. The Raleigh High team is also in correspondence with Louisburg, Lonsly Institute of Wheeling, W. Va., Woodrow Wilson Hi of Portsmouth, Winston-Salem, Wilmington (New Hanover High), and Shelby High, for the remaining games. Fayetteville and Smithfleld will also be asked for games. If the students of Raleigh High will get behind their team for the coming season of 1925, win or lose, it will be a success. PRIZE WINNERS IN THE TYPEWRITING CONTEST In the contest held last month in typewriting the following pupils won prizes for the most accurate papers during the contest: Minnie Nance in the third-year class, Ethel Matthews In the second-year class, and Doris Baker in the beginners' class.

John Leathers Back On His Job Again Policeman Welcomed by School Children Over Whom He Watches so Carefully Raleigh's most popular traffic cop, Officer John Leathers, returned in his uniform Monday morning to the police station, although he is not sufficiently recovered that he might resume his post on the corner of Hillsboro Street and St. Mary's. However, when he appeared on the corner that afternoon to help the Wiley School children safe ly across Hillsboro Street, they were more than delighted and surprised, and even parents and adults crowd ed around him to congratulate him on his recovery. This officer, friend of the public school children, had been given a beau tiful watch by his school children friends, who played Santa Claus to him Christmas. Later he was seri ously hurt in an accident and after ward he developed pneumonia. When the sad news reached his little friends, hundreds of letters and other tokens of sympathy were sent to him, and now that he is recovered from his long illness of pneumonia he has been welcomed back to his post by the pa rents as well as the children. Years ago Policeman Leathers was a conductor on the Hillsboro Street car line. He was so good to the chil dren in that neighborhood that they all called him "Goody." That is a good name for him now, it seems, according to his little school friends. M. B. K. School Cafeterias Rated Murphey received the highest score in report of Wake County Health De partment.

The Raleigh Girl Re serves will be hostesses. "Commun ity Citizenship" will be the theme of the convention. This general theme has been chosen for the 1924-1925 Midwinter High School Girl Reserve Conference because the Girl Reserve movement believes that every Girl Reserve has a part to play as a citi zen in her home, school, church, and community, by which she is forming those habits of citizenship which will persist later in life. What is citizenship? In the first place, citizenship is knowing about things which concern individuals as members of a group of people who are trying to live together. In the second place, citizenship is concerned with understanding our heritage as members of a society. There will be five delegates from each town, four girls and one secre tary or advisor. They will come from the following towns: AshevnieChar- lotte, Durham, ureensDoro, Point, Salisbury, Wilmington, Winston-Salem, Vanceboro, Star, Penland, Lincolnton, and Cary. The following committees have been appointed: 1. Hospitality Mrs. Graham An drews; Adivsor, Miss Beam; Girl Re serve Chairman, Mary Alice Hard ing; Melba Austin, Elizabeth Farmer, Elsie L. Williamson, and Madeline Barnes. 2. The Junior High School Girl Reserves will be the guides. They will furnish their cars and meet the girls at the station. 3. Finance Advisor, Miss Black (registrar); Anne Simms, M. R. Ken dall, Mary M. Briggs, Helen Brown. 4. Recreation Advisor, Miss Polk; Girl Reserve Chairman, Fran ces Thomas. 5. Music Advisor, Miss Thomp son; Girl Reserve Chairman, Helen Thomas. 6. Banquet Advisor, Miss Hol ton; Frances Thomas will be Toast Mistress at the banquet. Melba Austin.

A pair of ear rings were presented by a great-grandson of Martha Lenoir, which were made for her by a Scotch blacksmith. Another valuable addition to the Hall of History Is a copy of "History of the World," written by Sir Walter Raleigh while he was a prisoner In the tower of London. MARIE PATTERSON.
