A HIGH SCHOOL STORY. On Wednesday night at the Maoriland Theatre a unique film will be presented. The story of "High School Hero" deals with the love of two boys for the same girl and the bitter rivalry which"it causes in their school and athletic activities and shows in a vivid manner how serious the loves of youUi may be. But the rivalry between the two boys is clean cut and in the end they become fast friends when both are" brought face to face with the fact, that in their struggle for the girl's love they have neary sacrificed the prestige of their school. _ This brings about a realization of their folly and a satisfactory and unexpected ending to the picture.
