students will yawn and grow sleepy.
Up-to-date the piano in the High
School has served only as an orna
ment. Gracious, if we had only
known this before it is a cinch the
Rebecca lodge would have got it with
our compliments,
Too bad that vacations had to come
the first week after Easter. Sunday
being somewhat of a d~isagreeable day
the girls could not wear their new bon
nets, and as few of the boys were out on
Main street the fore part of the week,
they were abit disappointed. But be
patient. girls, next Monday we will
notice the trimmings and the whole
concern from A to Il.
The students are ENJOYING a week
Oft from their lessons, this week be-
ing the usual time for our 'annual,
once a year, SPRING vacation. Tho
many OF the boys have a week off from
their school work with nothing to do
but to sleep and eat, the reporter
notices quite a few making owe to the
tin cans lying around the house, hug
ging some rake or pounding some
carpet.
The base ball boys are around SELL
ing baseball season tickets. The
tickets are for six home games, the
star games of the season, and the
price of the ticket is one dollar. If
you can attend the games in person
why not donate a dollar to the boys?
Take a ticket or a dozen for that
matter and come out and see some of
South DakOta's star teams fall into
the dust OF defeat at the canvas shoes
of Milbank's whirlers. The boys
need encouragement, and still more
they need money and it's up to you to
fork over a few coppers.
Friday night the aspiring actors oil
the high school held a meeting and
as a result we have a theatricalorgan-
l%zation, viz: The M. FL. S. Dramatic
CLUB. An election of officers was
held and the following were given
honors: Andrew F. Lockhart, man
ager: alter atson. stage manager:

club will present plays occasionally.
The club is at work on a very inter-
esting comedy entitled, "The Man
From Borneo," by Charles Townsend,
one OF Americas most popular play
wrights, which they will present to the
public sometime in April. An organ
ization of this kind will not only be a
benefit to the high school in a financi-
al way, but it also will be a rooster
for the Maroon and White, and what
we nee is boosters.
During the past two weeks the base
ball boys have been practicing the
game. 1t is tho't that in a short time,
after the players have been picked out
for the first High School team, a Sc
cond team will be made up. Milbank
always has had a first class team to
represent our high school in other
cities and it is hoped that the boys
will not lower their excellent record.
A basket ball team also is being
organized, and after our representa-
tive team has been made up,
three other teams will be org anized.
Last year our basket ball team being
rather late in organizing, very few
games were played. The games played
at OrtOnvill will long be remembered
by both players and spectators. My.
but how some of the girls howled,
stuck their fingers in the Milbank
girls eyes, pulled their hair, and
~howled-and the Milbank girls dupli-
Gated the account, adding consider
able interest to the principal. This
year Milbank is going to beat Orion
vile or by. gee, Ortonville is going
to beat Milbank.
