This week finishes the work which
We as the corps of editors elected for
the month of January had assigned to
us. We have tried to reach that
height of excellence which has been
set for us. We have worked hard and
earnestly, but We are far from salts
fed with the result. Our predeces-
sors have set a standard, the height
of which, 20, pupils of Fergus County
High School, you will never yourselv-
es realize till YOU yourselves hold the
position of editor and know that your
class and your school look to you that
the High School may be creditably
represented in the Argus. 1t is this
feeling that has carried us on TO do
cur best and that has sustained us in
the doing of it.
We wish to thank our English teach
er for her advice and kindly criticism.
and also the members of the school
who have helped us by their contribu-
tons and we go out from our office
TO follow us.

The first half of Thursdays game
our players were very excited and al
lowed Helena to score 9 points. while
they scored but three. But in the
second half Tavenner took Grupe's
place and the playing began in ear
nest. There were two sensational
plays made. The first was when An
derson grabbed the ball at the toss-uI
and threw clean basket from the
center OF the field. The other was
when Baker threw the ball into the
basket while lying fiat on the floor
AT the end of the second half the score
was Helena 7, Fergus s. making the
final score Helena 16, Fergus II. Fri

game. as Fergus played much better
ball. and in the first half out-playet
their opponents. The lineup was thu
same as Thursday night except tina

basket by Goodkind followed by on'

field throws by Baker This put then

during the first part of the second hal
that she needed to do some hard play
ing, and as a result of this decision
they tied the score. Then for nearl.
ten minutes neither side scored
point. Soon after this Grupe was sub
stituted for Baker and Helena made
free throw. This broke the ice ant

of the most pleasant evenings of tn
season. The return game to be play
ed at Helena, is set for March %
Prof. Crane says he is decided
proud of I.ewistown's business mer
In order to ensure meeting the e1
penses of the game he asked some Q
the leading men to subscribe toward
a possible deficiency. He asked Onl
eighteen men and each man respond
ed promptly with a five dollar sui
scription. He is sure that many otf
ers would have been just as generou
if they had been asked. Such a ger
erOus interest in the best welfare O
our boys and girls and in clear
wholesome sport, is deserving of higl
praise and is very encouraging to thos
in charge of the athletics. A com
plete accounting of the game canno
be made at this time, but it is hope
that we will not have to call upon on
friends at all. The following is tn
