San Luis Stake Academy Notes.

Depriest was elected president and
Ivy Grantham, vice-president.
The enrolment has now reached
the remarkable number of 119
with the prospect of many more
additions before the old year closes
and after the dawn of the opening
of the new.
One Of our students, Miss Nellie
Jarvies, is seriously afflicted with
rheumatism. She was feelingly
and touchingly remembered in
prayer by Prof. Soule at the open
ing exercises on Wednesday morn
ing.
The academy closed on Wednes-
day for Il Thanksgiving vacation
for the remainder of last week. A
grand party was given in the even
ing. Nearly 100 couples danced
to the sweet music rendered by the
academy orchestra best or
chestral band, undoubtedly, in the
San Luis valley. Prof. Barrett
deserves special praise for his
efforts in making the band what it
| is.
In place of gems of thought,
Prest Moench has introduced cal
isthenics for five minute recrea-
tion at the opening of the school.
The students all seem to thorough
ly enjoy it and enjoy it with a
feeling that II change is as good as
"A rest. Upon the whole the school
is thriving and growing beyond
the most sanguiue expectations of
its patrons.
Last Friday evening number
of students accompanied the basket
ball team to Alamosa where IA game,
as previously announced, was
scheduled with the high school
and played that evening at the
Colorado hall. A large number of
rooters for both teams were present,
together with many others, lovers
of the sport From the time
the game was called to its con
clusion the excitement was in
tense and at times it seemed
| doubtful as to which team would
carry off the honors. This, how
ever, seemed not to be the case
with the umpire, who appeared
to see and figure for one side only.
And for this purpose not only con-
stituted himself the umpire but
the referee, also, in fact in his mind
he seemed to be the only man that
knew anything about the game.
But Notwithstanding his crooked
and biased decisions, the score at
the end of the game stood 81 to %
in favor of the academy. With
a fair umpire the score would un-
doubtedly have been quite differ
ent and still more in favor of
Manassa. 1t is but just to the
citizens of Alamosa to say that
they did not approve of the um-
pire's one sided work; and many
apologies were offered to the team
on the day following for his biased
decisions.
A second contest took place on
the following evening at the same
hall, but with a new team sailing
under the alias of "The Baraca
Club" The team was composed
of some of the best players both of
the town and of the high school
Rooters for both sides were in
evidence on all sides, and the hall
was well filed with patrons of the
art. The game was intensely ex-
citing and interesting but at no
time did the Baraca team have
any show TO win the game. They
were simply outclassed by the
Academy team and at the end of
the first half of the game, the score
stood % to IL in favor of the
academy. The final score stood
