The senior class is the largest in the
history of the school,, and is made up very
largely Of high school graduates Of a year
ago and many experienced teachers. Quite

cipals have Joined the class. The junior
class is also larger than usual.
The normal played a game OF foot bali
with the Kearney high school Friday even
ing. The game was a tie with no scores,

and plays good ball. The normal has a
splendid line~up, but they have had little
practice. several OF the players having
been out but two or three times. The
team promises to be one of the strongest
the normal has had. The boys play with
plenty Of ginger and are fearless.
