Morris tribune., 1911-03-10
HIGH SCHOOL

who went up last Friday afternoon.
| Every one had the best of times and
even the inconvenience of missing our
train is not regretted now as it caused
a good deal of fun. The trip was
one of excitement from the beginning
where one of the players depending
upon her friends to call for her, was
| left to make thrilling dash for the
train-unto the end when we made
thoro search thru the car for Semi
or pin.
We were met by the Herman teams
and rooters and it was not long before
we saw Ronnie's smiling face, who,
compromising, was joining all yells
with his "H-e-r-r-i-s'. We were
taken to Morrison's by "checker
board route' and upon catching sight
of Mrs. Morrison upon the porch we
gave big cheer for her. Mrs. Nor
rison had prepared a most delightful
supper for us and it was certainly ap-
preciated for we were all pretty
hungry by that time. The Herman
team served the supper and both
teams made good use of that hour
comparing sizes and guessing the posi-
tions of each girl.
The Morris girls left Morrison's
about z is to go to the Hotel to dress
and arrived at the hall just in time
to be late and found our boys out in
the field waiting for them to come.
The girls game came first. Our
team was handicapped by the narrow
dimly lighted hall, and altho they
worked hard the score at the end of
the first half was Z to 3 in favor of
Herman. During the second half the
Morris team made eight points and
were showing good team work when
time was called. The game went to
Herman on a final score of 13 to II.
In the bows game, our team were
not as badly outclassed as the score
of Al to IL would indicate. Under
the disadvantage of a strange floor.
they were in the game all the time,
and frequently showed possibilities of
doing better work. Under more
equal conditions our boys should be
able to show them more even score.
After the game we were entertain
ed at the Masonic hall, where we
were given an H. S. dance-some-
thing new for us-and "splify' re-
freshments. Every one danced who
could and those who were too tired
had just as good a time talking. So
when we were urged to stay for the
second train. being assured that the
train men had been notified to have
the train stop, we were not slow about !
agreeing to stay.
Upon arriving at the depot in due
time, we stood talking, laughing and
singing as we waited. But our song
soon changed when the train sailed
thru and the whole bunch of us were
left, staring blankly after it.
After the first surprise there was
a mad rush for explanations and
rooms. The first was not hard to
get; thru misunderstanding and
changing of hands for the night, the
men at the depot had failed to signal
the train. But the second, rooms,
were hard to find. The girls finally
found places, but the boys-goodness
sakes. boys. where didn't you stay?
In the morning the bunch met at
Morrison's where six of the girls
were delightfully."- entertained during
the night. We may say right here,
that we realize we owe a great part
IF the pleasure of our trip to the Nor
rison's and we hope what'th B. B.
teams are doing for Mrs. Morrison
will show something of our appreci-
lion.
The remainder of the morning was
spent wandering about town, visiting
he school house and postcard counters.
The bunch that arrived at Morris
Saturday forenoon was a pretty tired
me, but they were generous in their
of their good time and
he dandy Hern an people.
