than met their match this time in Coach
Wiedmann's husky bunch of players.
They came well prepared with a doctor,
an apothecary, priest and an under
these gentlemen were not seriously
needed and they enjoyed the game as
enthusiastic rooters for Idaho. The
game was good one from start to fin
ish and the honor of the Little King
dom" was vindicated in the piling of
score that left no doubt as to our hold
ing the championship of the Clear Creek
district.
Supt. Davis of Georgetown, was an
interested visitor on Friday, and will be
back again to help boost the Clear
Creek Teachers Association which con-
venes in December.
We are heartily in favor of the move
ment toward securing lecture course
for Central City. We believe that every
patron of the school will appreciate the
opportunity to provide entertainment
that will not only be entertaining but
will:be inspirational and educational as
well.
Last Saturday, when the football
team of the Idaho Springs high school
came over to play our boys, a most de-
lightful lunch was served to the men,
bers of both teams. The fair cooks and
mattresses were enlisted from the femi-
nine portion of the high school, under
the capable supervision of Miss Miller.
| The lunch was served in the new sew
ling-reception room in the Hale building
and was done up in style, from soup to
demi-tasse. Thirty-two men sat down
to the table, which was arranged in the
form of Maltese cross, and was deco
rated in the colors of the schools. Small
pasteboard footballs served as place
cards. After the more serious discus
sion Of the meal was over, there was
much pleasant toasting and roasting.
Mr.. Green acted as toastmaster, and
responses were made by Prof. Ripley,
Sherwin and Mcclellan of Idaho, and
Mr.. Wiedmann, Williams and Morrison
of Central. The keynote of the speeches
seemed to be the strengthened bond of
friendship between the two mountain
towns.
Miss Eva Sorenson, one of the men,
bers of the sophomore class from Black
Hawk, was called out of school this
week by the illness and death of her
father. The members of the class
showed their sympathy for their class
mate by sending flowers and kind
word of remembrance to her in the
hour of sorrow. The funeral was held
at the home in Black Hawk, the casket
was hidden in a bank of beautiful flow
ers placed by loving hands of many who
knew the worth and friendship of the
man who had passed to his rest. The
church service by Rev. Mr.. Idlegeorge
was followed by the beautiful ritual SER
vice of the Odd Fellows. The sympathy
of the school is extended to our class
mate and pupil and to the mother and
sister who share her bereavement.
School was dismissed on Tuesday in
order to give the teachers an oppor-
tunity to visit another school and to
study the methods of other teachers.
At 7:15 Tuesday morning the teachers
of Central City schools with Miss Ur.
bana Noonan of the Lake gulch school,
started on the drive to Idaho Springs.
Arriving at that place and without any
warning to the school authorities there
they proceeded to make themselves al
