He informed us that the Board of Education at Ganado had let the contract to Laberdia Brothers of that city for the construction of the new high school building and gym, and as work is now under headway the new building is expected to be in readiness for the opening of school on September 7th. The new building will provide some muchly needed room and will greatly improve the school plant as well as add to the comfort and convenience of the teachers and pupils. Mr. Hollenshead also informed us that vocational agriculture will be added to the course of study in the Ganado schools the next term, thus Ganado will be the first Jackson County school to include vocational agriculture in the courses of study offered. Mr. Hollenshead also stated that the Ganado school board had ordered a new International school bus with a seating capacity of 50 or better. Mr. Hollenshead will likely have some "school news" in the Herald within the next week or so, in which he will introduce the new members of the faculty.

Senior Class:
Junior Class:
Sophomore Class:
Freshman Clas: The pep squad has been working on yells and drills but were disappointed in the failure of the suits to arrive for the first game of the season Friday night in Wharton. However, the victory was ours without the benefit of the pep squad suits. The suits, which will be here in time for the game with Sugarland next Friday, will be in the school colors--maroon and white. Maroon flannel skirts and white sweaters over white blouses will make the costume. A maroon Indian head on the back of each sweater carry out the school emblem and each girl will wear a maroon and white felt cap. The yell leaders for this year elected at the close of school last year, are: Doris Burditt, Sarah Brandes and Inez Banks. The sponsors of the group are Miss Irene Isaacson and Miss Pauline Mauritz.
Mr. Henry Smith, vocational teacher, has already been installed
in the new high school building for Agriculture and Science
classes and has the class room and office filled with books,
charts, and other equipment with which the classes are working.
The F. F. A. club has been organized with the following
officers: Committees appointed at the meeting last Tuesday and plans were discussed for the club year.
The Junior Business Training Class, under the direction of the
teacher, Miss Wilson, has been organized into an office. The
name given the office is Wilson Gayle & Co. The following were
elected as officers of the corporation:
The high school newspaper, a new venture this year, will be
issued twice monthly, beginning with a first edition on the 7th
of October. The staff is as follows: Other members of the editorial staff are: Jerome Hubalek, Vicent Knopp, Bartlett Gayle, Helen Hollingshead, Raymond Sablatura, Annie Trcka, Doris Burditt. Practice for the junior football team is held regularly each afternoon just as it that of the regular high school team. Much interest is being shown in this team, coached by Mr. Smith, and the first game is looked forward to with eagerness by students and patrons of the school. The new high school building has been completed for several days, but delay in receiving the seats has made it impossible for all classes to be held there. The library has been moved but the new system of checking books cannot start until all classes are being held in the building. Work has begun now on the new gymnasium and it will be complete by the last of October. The football field will be made ready for the first home game during the coming week and the tennis courts will be cleared within the very near future. The enrollment throughout the school system is increasing daily, especially in the high school. Some of the classes are larger than ever recorded. It is expected that this increase will continue for the next few weeks. Football Notes Coach J. W. Ledbetter's boys won their first game when they beat the Wharton Lions 7 to 0 Friday night. From the looks of things the Indians should go far in winning their district. With only six lettermen back, the coach has spent much time teaching the fundamentals of the game to the boys who have never before seen a football game.
The starting line-up against Wharton was:
The schedule has not been completed thus far as there is one
open date.
