Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-04-06

mer-throwing and hurdle jumping,
but the place where they do their
best is playing basket ball with Hell
ena.
See the wonderful score they made!
why think of the admiration Helena
must have for team out of the coul-
les of Fergus County that will ami
hilate their fine team. Think how
closely our guards must have guarded
those Helena forwards to keep them
grom making any baskets and what
fine free throws" our center made.
What an exciting game this must
have been. 1t is no wonder that a
crowd of girls should wait around
an hour or so in a snow storm to well
come those conquering heroes home.
Any community should be proud of
such a school.
Seriously though we should make
some allowances for the boys They
all have enough back bone" but on
such an occasion they need something
more than this to brace them up. We
think probably they needed a good
dinner and this they were unable to
get.
Although our team didn't do as well
this time We must remember that it
was a new experience for them, and
we hope to have better games in the
future. So in spite of the recent de-
feat here's success to our boys and to
our school, one of the best in Mont
ana.
ANTOINETTE WHITE, '08.
The celebrated Olympic games
which were held in Greece in ancient
times will be revived and celebrated
at Athens in April of this year. The
ancient history class is very much
interested in this as they studied
about the Olympic games in their
Greek history
The two Latin classes Caesar and
Virgel tied this month in their aver
ages.
The classes have been interested in
reading the article on the bulletin
board about the late president Har-
per of Chicago University. In honor
of his memory a library is being built
and is to be the largest of it's kind
in the world
Our basket ball team was badly de-
feated by the Helena team in the,
games played there last week. but
the boys are not at all discouraged be
cause they knew they were going W
against one of the fastest teams in
the state.
We We're badly beaten in the game
the first night the score being 80 to I
in favor of Helena. The team wa:
late and We had to get into our suit:
as soon as we reached the hall ans
didn't get chance to rest before tn,
game.
The second night we were in SHAPE
for the game and played well.
At the end of the first half tn
score stood 10 to in favor of Helena
In the second half we scored a
many times as they did and at the en-
of the game the score was 33 to 20 il
Helena's favor.

Really we were a very quiet, sobe
crowd-until We got out of sight o
Lewistown Friday morning and at in
tervals during the afternoon on tn
"Jawbone" coming home. But other
wise. as long as we could keep GU
eyes open, there was generally some
thing doing. Tavenner was fond O
soup and Wilson liked pork chops
therefore they made the acquaint
ence of every restaurant and eatin:
house they came to. 1t didn't effec
Tavenner, but the reason that We hat
to carry Cara was that Cara could'n
Carry any more.
Tom Baker lorded it over the other:

automobile while the rest walked.
We We're all disappointed becaus,
we couldn't get out on the dome o
the capitol and slide off.
