Joyed a rare privilege in listening to
tne work Of Miss Poppler and Profess
sor Boehmer. Following the pro-
gramme dainty refreshments were
served from small tables in the Ii
prary, which had also come under the
spell OF the magic touch. Colonial
oiue and buff formed the color schema
mere while the national colors pre-
vailed in the assembly hall. The Wo-
mans league party ranks first among
tne social events Of the school year
ana THIS one was second to none that
the organization has ever given.

The call for teachers is strong this
year and with a goodly number who
have already proven themselves sue
cessful in teaching, there will be no
trouble in locating the members Of the
class, although it is large.

On Monday afternoon, Feb. 2e. the
Mayville boys beat the Valley City
Normal quint in a fast game of bas-
ketball with a final score Of AZ to 10.
1t was evident from very early in the
game that the Mayville team was the
superior. They got the lead early and
kept it throughout. The score atsthe
end Of the first half was 90 to II in
favor Of Mayvine. The score was az
follows: Mayville - Field baskets -
Markosson, IF, /; Rude. If, 5; Smith,
C, 0; Personals, re-, 1; Gardner. ig O..
Mayvilie-Ffeld baskeets-Nelson. IF
6; Medium, II, 6; Weltzin, c, g.: Ericx-
son, re, 0; Siljan, liz, O.. The MayviIle
team outclassed the visitors in both
team work n in ;ield throwing. II
seemed that every man on the home
team played an exceptionally good
game. The guarding by Erickson and
Siljan raj excellent. They had hard
men to work against, yet the low
scores of these bespeak the work done
by the Mayville guards. Nelson was
in his old form and found the baskets
as he did before he vas Ill. Had he
been in the same physical condition
when the team went to Wahpeton as
he was in this game it is quite likely
that the game with the science school
would have been better for MayyiIle.
Medium played as he never played be-
fore. He has made rapid progress dur
Ing the season and is able to meet any
opponent. Weltzin played his usually
good game and his witticisms IN
response to his opponent. who PLAYED
a decidedly rough game, were appre-
ciated by the spectators. This gives
Mayvihe two games from Valley CITY
in succession, one last year and this
one, and this victory gives MayyiIle
second place in the conference games
II she wills the return from the sci
ence school the two teams will be tied
for first place. Mr.. Graveyard Of the
Bruflat academy was referee and has
acted in this capacity on several oc-
castons for the normal, His work was
very satisfactory to both teams on
each occasion. He is exceedingly agile
and knows the game. Not only does
he try to be fair but Eis ability to see
the game and to render prompt and
accurate decisions makes him accent
able as an official. The record Of MAY
vile in conference games so far is as
follows: Moorhead Normal at Nav
Vile, Feb. 5, 3s to 35 in favor of Nav
vile. state Science school at wat.
peton, Feb. s. 23 to 10 in favor of the
science school. EIlendaIe at Mayville
