School To Observe
Band To Give Concert As
All Parents And Friends
Visit In Building
"Open House" tonight in the
Lititz Schools will mark the sixth
day in the celebration of Youth
Week here this year, a celebration
that has revealed more interest on
the part of pupils and parents in
the contests and work of the
schools than ever before.
A big feature of Open House
will be a free concert by the
High School Band in the audi-torium.
The' school doors will
be opened to the public at 7
o'clock and all parents and f r i -
ends can inspect the rooms and
exhibits until 9:15, when the
concert will begin. Open House
will conclude at 10 o'clock.
¡Starting Saturday with May
Day, and running through contests
and exhibits of all kinds up to to-day,
the -excitement has been high j
and rivalry keen among the pupils. '
Sunday was Youth Day in the local
churches, although this theme will
be continued' this coming Sunday in
some churches because of the con-flict
with Mother's Day last Sun-day.
Monday brought the opening of
contests in the- school and the audi-torium
was almost full of parents
and friends when the starting hour
arrived. Tuesday also found a
large crowd on hand for the vari-ous
events:, all of which proved
very interesting.

Preliminary plans- for the enter-ing
of Robert Haekman, winner of
first place in the baritone hiorn sec-tion
of the.State Music League, in
the National Music Contest at Des
Moines, Iowa, on May 31, have been
completed by high school authori-ties,
and an appeal to the people
of town to help defray the expenses
of the trip is being made.
While everything is being done
to hold down the expenses the trip,
by machine, will run into quite a
bit of money. The RECORD has
been asked to receive contributions
from anyone interested, and any
money given to this fund will be
acknowledged in our columns next

¡This is a very worth-while enter-prise
and we feel that there are
many in town who are willing to
help. Drop in the office or at the
school within the next week and
leave a contribution. Many band-masters
and musicians, will judge
the contests at Des Moines, among
them being Goldman, Pryor and

loard Adds
nnis Courts
Reed and Shannon ran well ahead'
of their opponents in a quiet Pri-mary
here Tuesday. The vote cast
was very small, people not bother-ing
evidently, to brave the rain to
vote. There were few breaks in
tickets, except for the naming of
'County Committeemen.
Lititz gave General Edward
Shannon a nice majority in his race
for the Governorship nomination on
the Republican slate over Schnader,
but the latter crowded the Colum-bian
out in the vote over the State.
The Guffey-Earle Democratic ticker
won the vote of the majority of
that party easily.
Reed received 153 votes in the
First Ward and 84 in the Second
for a total of 237. Pinchot received
only 71, 49 in the first and 22 in
the second.
Shannon polled 111 in the First
and 71 in the Second Ward, for a

Total Of Six To Be Built On
Athletic Field; Bids For
Fencing Them Asked
Two more tennis courts, or a
total of six, will -be built on the
athletic field on West Orange St.,
the- Lititz School Board decided at
its May meeting last night, foil-ow-ing
the great demand for tennis
facilities from school pupils and
town residents.
With the announcement by F.
M. Hunter, president of the board,
that the project had been granted
50-00 more hours by the State, and
that the extended time would be
ample to do a complete job on the
field, the question of adding two
more courts came up, and discus-sion
revealed that the project is
considered one of the finest enter-prises
ever underway here by near-ly
everyone in town. A survey of
the schools disclosed that close to
3-00 pupils want to play tennis this
summer, and in view of the fact
that many other young people of
the community also want to play»-
the board decided to add the two
extra courts while the work was
being done.
The board also authorized the
secretary to advertise for bids for
rencing to enclose the courts.
The property committee reported
the Cedar Street terrace sodded
and repaired and that the Moravian
Congregation had requested per-mission
to drive over the school
playground while excavating for
their new building. The board au-thorized
the committee to grant
the permission. j
J. B Herr, the secretary, was au-thorized
to obtain a bond for the
tax collector for the coming year.

High School
Accident Victim Improved
Latest reports are that Floy
Longenecker, four, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Edwin Longenecker, of
Lititz R. D. 2, who was struck by
an automobile last Wednesday eve-ning,
is improving nicely.
The girl was bit by a machine
driven by Mervin Baimer, of town,
near Lomgene'cker's Church, She
was taken to St. Joseph's -Hospital,
Lancaster, for treatment. . v
Socialized examinations are the
latest thing in the science depart-ment
of the High -School, under the i
direction of Miss Anna K. Miller.
The S-ophomore classes in Biology
recently tried them, as did the
Junior Physics classes, Groups of
four received sealed envelopes, in
which were questions written and
submitted by other pupils of the
class. The four members of the
groups answered the questions to-gether,
each person contributing
what they knew and the others sup-plying
the remainder. ^ , .
After that, the -envelopes were
exhanged- among the groups, cor-rected,
graded and handed back.
According to Miss Miller, these
socialized examinations prove to be
more difficult than regular ones for,
after giving the physics class the
chance to examine themselves, she
gave the regular test on the ground
covered and found that the marks
were higher in the second case. In
addition, she says, the experiment
proved to be more interesting, very
f a i r and extremely instructional,
because each pupil had to study to
compose the questions.
