A large shipment of new books has
recently been received for the general
library. This made additional stack
room necessary and an inside stack
has been built to provide it. The
library is rapidly outgrowing it's pre-
sent quarters and 1t is only matter
of short time before additional room
will be required.
A very valuable collection of new
pictures has been hung this week and
add much to the attractiveness Of the
rooms. In the library are found ex-
cellent reproductions Of the Alexander
series in the Iibary of congress called

arranged in two groups of three each,

dian Picture Writing, The Manuscript
Book, and The Printing Press. Over
the platform in the assembly room
are two companion pictures, Study
and Labor by Pearce. The originals
of these hang in The Hall of the Fam

Last Friday evenin gthe school had
the pleasure of witnessing the first
two games of basketball in the series
of inter-class games now being play
ed to decide the championship of the
school among the boys class teams.
In this set the juniors played against
the sophomores and the seniors against
the freshmen. The senior freshman
game was rather a walkaway for the
seniors, the game ending with score
of % to 0. The freshmen lacked form
| and team work, but let it be said of
them that they meath well, although
their notion Of basketball has only
reached the catch-as- catch-can stage
The sophomore junior game, however.
was very closely contested. the final
score being IL to 10 in favor Of the
sophomores. 1t is seldom one sees
two such closely matched teams, in
deed. 1t might be said that the real
victory belonged to neither team. The
players on these teams having had
considerable experience. exhibited bet
ter form and fair team work. 1t is
hoped, however, that they too may
find room for Improvement after they
have recovered from victory and de-
feat. The next set will be played with
the near future between the two win
ming and the two losing teams The
two victors from this set will meet on
Friday evening, Dec. 9. to decide the
championship.
