is that the entire school is held back
about five minutes. Mr.. McElroy then
stated that all students should be in
the assembly at HAS and 3:55 if they
have work or not
The junior team practiced basketball
last night This is about the first stiff
workout the boys have had, but any
way they expect to be there in the in
ter-class series. Here's hoping.
You ought to hear some of those
freshies talk and explain what chance
they have got in the inter-class series.
1t would take professor in mathemat-
les to solve the problem
According to the Indianapolis Star
no Hammond player is given a place
on the old state football team" Worse
than that no local player was even
given a place on the second or third
teams. Surely, down in the central and
southern part of the state they do not
know the caliber of some of the local
high school players or the result would
have been different Last year Fred
IpeIl iHdue Tackle on the all-StaCe
team"

quite handy for the teachers. If sew
eral students do not get their lessons
its an easy matter now to keep them

| to dispose of two tickets for GER
