The basket ball game last Friday
evening between Beechwoods and the
High School resulted in victory for
the former, the score being 1910. 1t
was cold and windy evening but in
spite of these inclemencies large |
crowd had gathered from the country
side to witness the event, A prelimin-
ary game was to have been played be-
tween the girls Of the class O6 and the
school ''marms," but on account of the |
the absence OF some of the teachers the
game was postponed until after the
main contest.
The game was fast and very exciting,
and at no period of the halves did the
| playing not hold the closest attention
Of the spectators. Several times the
Reynoldsville boys picked up and passed
the ball so quickly and accurately that
| they had their opponents fairly ON the
run and twas during these moments
that they threw their goals in rapid
succession. The High School team
willingly acknowledge their defeat but
do claim that they were handicapped in
many ways. However, they lay aside
| the ''if" story of one who has been de-
| feated and look forward with an earnest
zeal to the time when before the eyes of
| the Reynoldsville enthusiasts they will
meet the Beechwoods team and thus
| permit them to see who is worthy of
| victory when it comes to playing basket
ball.
| After the game the Beechwoods girls
served the players lunch in their school
house. This caused deep feeling Cf
gratitude among the ReynOldsville boys
and when their friends from the country
come to town the favor shown them
shall not be forgotten.
Juniors-Aren't black and gold pretty
colors Would you really like to have
them ? Well, listen, but don't tell the
rest of the High School-you just walt
patiently until next year and then you
can have them all to yourselves Poor
children, its shame to keep you wait
ing, but your elders must have the
preference
A laudable effort is being made to
decrease the tardiness and the effect of
hardness in our schools. With no bell
our scholars are somewhat handicapped,
but there has been considerable dlsre-
gard for promptness and being on time.
| Hardness is more to the detriment of a
school than patrons usually suppose.
Not only does it break up the tardy
ones own class work but also greatly
disturbs the other members of his or
her room. So in considering the well
fare of about 725, it was decided to ask
the average 20 who are tardy to remain
outside until the morning chapel is
concluded before coming in the build
ing. Also at noon the offenders delay
the beginning of the work of so many
that again the doors are locked for
about ten minutes and all tardy ones
having collected are then permitted to
go to their rooms, in this way the dis.
turbance is brief. This system is hav-
ing good effect in lessening tardiness
and in promoting order and system in
our school work. We believe it to be
the ony just method. For the last three
: years this method has been in vogue at
Clearfield and is most warmly favored
by all there, even those who first op-
posed it now uphold it,
