School News
The graded and high school here
gave a brief St. Patrick’s Day
program Friday which was splendid

while the real feature was an Irish
dance, with Irish music given by 12
pupils of the grades directed by Miss
Powell, assisted by Margaret
Sanders. The pupils who took part in

modern “Barn dance” were as

Dacon, Tom Wilson, Quinmore
Pearl.
The little son of Mr. and Mrs. T. J.
Martin died here Saturday of
diphtheria. Little J. T. Jr (sic) was a
bright manly little fellow and his
death was indeed very sad for so few
of their neighbors could venture in
to give them help.
Clipping from the Courier Journal
about one of our boys who has made
good in every way at the State
Kentucky University at Lexington:
Lexington, KY, March 17 - Sam
Ridgway, Shepherdsville, Ky today
was elected captain of the 1923
University of Kentucky basketball
team at a meeting of the five letter
men. Ridgway played guard on the
Wildcat squad in 1920 and 1921,
being a member of the team that won
the Southern championship last year.
He was all Kentucky guard last
season. This year, however, he was
unable to play on account of an
illness which came just as the season
opened. This week is a junior in the
college of engineering. He earned a
baseball letter last year and played
end on the football team during the
latter part of the season. He is a
member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity.
Col. W. F. Knight, who was recently
appointed trustee at Clermont spent
Monday here.
Mr. Knight, who has proven himself
to be one of the county’s best
business men, will no doubt exert
every reasonable effort to make a
splendid school this year for the
little towns of Chapeze and
Clermont, whose school is about
midway between the two towns.
