DEWEY DOIN'S

Nelson Dewey eighth grade, accom-
panied by Miss Allis Robertson and
Miss Mary Carpenter are camping at
Wild Rose Lodge ON Minnesota point.
The party consist of Misses Clara
Banks, Laura valtison. tiary kea.
ough, Mary Brooks, Kate O'lIarc,
lIazel Sutherland, Fa" Pickering and
MaudIe Fowler. They evidently in
tend to combine little work with
their pleasure az each girl carries a
complete sketching outfit.
Taking into consideration that the
Dewey is somewhat hampered by not
having enough materia! from which
TO choose n winning football team
this year, nevertheless the boys are
out praCtiCing every night so as to
keep the standard of the Dewey from
falling, and if possible TO raise it.
Morgan Pattison is the captain. Those
trying for positions on the team are
Edmund ST Onge. Eugene West,
Kenneth Patton, Ernest Armitage,
Arthur Ninje, Harry Whitney, Geo
Maloy, Geo Rolus, Clarence Erlanson
Ralph Hudson, Graw Henderson, Leo
Maloy, Clarence Maloy and win Holt.
4 game is 10 be arranged with the
Blaine second team for Friday night.
The Dewey team will willingly eN-
Cept all challenges from teams with
All average of 1i5 pounds or less.
The plan of consolidating the
Dewey and Blaine football teams,
which was proposed by the teachers
from both schools week or 30 nGo,
after some discussion, was finally AZ
ranged and accepted. The team will
be made up Of students from both
schools it being agreed that all boy
should have an equal chance of max
ing the team regardless of either
school. Coach Ciemmcns is TO have
the privilege of selecting the team
and the product is to he called "fhe
Superior High School Team The
team is already organized and has
been practicinG for about two weeks
and shows up we'll so far. Only two
of the Dewey boys have thus far made
the team, Frezau and BisChoii being
the selected ones. The fact that only
! Two have made the team has been
| largely due TO the Inconvenience of
getting to the West End each night
| to practice, but this is being over
come and before the week il over II
is expected that st Onge will be out,
trying for the position of guard, in
which position he has made quite a
reputation The team played its first
game last Saturday at the driving
park and have showed themselves to
be strong combination, defeating
the Badgers a strong city team, by
the score of Il TO 0. The touchdowns
were made by the end and member
OF the back field on fake plays. The
game thu oughout was holly contested
and gives credit to the story that The
Superior High School Team of this
season will be a hard one to defeat.
Last Saturday party composed OF
Mr.. Irons, Mr.. Smith, the new manual
training teache" at the Dewey, Gran
Vile Mason, Frank Merrell, Floyd
Williams, joan Smith and Kenneth
Patton took two boats and rowed up
the Nemadji river to n point just
above the boat house at the end OF
the car line. At this point they com
menced cutting reeds. OF course the
boys had to fall in and in they went
up to their knees. 1t was after most
everybody fell in that the shoes and
stockings came off. At noon Mr..
Irons and Mr. Smith treated TO pop,
cakes and fruit. In the afternoon,
after getting two boat loads Of reeds
from near the 18th street gap, the
boys struck and the party went over

after the days work. The party re
turned to Peab0dy's boat house about
five thirty. Every one of the party
had bhsters on their hands, even to
Mr.. Irons. The reeds and grasses
! that the party cut were hauled in
from the Nemadj boat house Tues
day after school by Lawson Nc
Quarrie, Joe Nixon, Clarence Badg-
ley and Kenneth Potter. These reeds
/ and grasses will be used by the grade

4 the school board neat little sum oil
money.
