day morning.
About two years ago he was here
and we remembered him and his reci-
tation of Burns poems. Mr.. Cranston
is a great lover of the beautiful litera-
ture of the world and believes sin
cerely in the influence it has upon it's
readers. He thinks the three greatest
poems are "Snow Bound". GraY's
"Elegy in a Country Church Yard"
and "Cotter's Saturday night. es-
pecallv the last which he recited to US
with few other of Burns poems.
Among the good and helpful hints
he gave US and illustrated and en-
phasized by reciting his poems were
Zone usually finds in this world what
one looks for;'' "Give to the world
the best you have and the best will
come back to you;" and the 18th COM

One of our Seniors is displaying
a marvellous ability. Last year Miss
Mcguire often spoke of the new
geometry thorems she created, and
Miss Johnson of the new German
words she coined and now she is busy
ing herself making new Physics laws.
Mr.. Fuller met with the old Glee
Club girls and all new ones who wish
ed to join last Monday night after
school. He placed proposition be-
fore them. which they voted to ac-
cept, that they should take up the
study of an operetta "The hours"
which could be given later in the year
should they choose to do so.
Martin was initiated into one of the
laws of Physics last week and in
cidently got his face wet.
A Freshman girls Manual Training
class has been organized. There are
about II members and their weekly
lesson will come on.
The Agricultural School has made
arrangements for teaching domestic
science class from the high school
which will probably go over on Tues
day and Friday afternoons, taking
sewing one day and cooking the other.
There is good sized class organic
ed and there would probably be more.
could the expense have been made a
little less.
Mr.. Heraly came around Wednes-
day morning with Manual Training
premiums from the county fair. We
were very glad to see him.
The High School athletes indulged
in two contests last Saturday, foot
ball game at the fair grounds and a
basket ball game at the Longfellow
school. In the football Beardsley
carried away the palm by score of
% to O. but we felt better after the
basket ball game resulted in score
of IL to 8 against Breckenridge.
The boys played good game of foot
ball against Beardsley, frequently
making "first down" on long forward
passes. But they could not match the
superior weight and experience of their
opponnets. The boys are showing lots
of pluck in sticking to it after having
lost several games. They mean to
finish the saeson and will play one or
two more games here besides making
trips to Benson and Browns Valley.
The team deserves more enthusiastic
support from those interested in High |
School athletics.
At 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, a |
crowd had gathered on the High |
School grounds to witness the bas-
ket ball game between our girls |
and the team from Breckenridge.
The line up was as follows:

Roberta and Hilda. for Morris. while
Phoebe Jones made two for Brecken-
ridge. In the second half each side
doubled its score making the final re- /
suit IL to 8 in our favor. Good team S
work and fast playing characterized v
he entire game. The day was ideal v
or an out door game and more people c
hould have shown their interest by

In the evening the home team gave t
reception for the visitors at the High u
school. The football team also at e
