School Notes.
Two wagon loads of F. H. S. chap
eroned by Misses Westcott and Steil-
man and Prof Charles went TO Pay
cite with flying colors Wednesday
to play basket ball in the Y NJ C.
A gym Now you can imagine what
happened to our teams trained in
the open, when they came against
Payette's team for the first time
in a gymnasium Oh well it's ex-
cellent practice, and practice makes
perfect. We would not even tell the
score if Payette would not and re-
ally it's not worth mentioning In
the boys game 494 and in the
girls game Sc to s.
Perhaps the secret of the poor sue
cess of F. H. S. basket ball teams
would find some explanation in the
following experience A skating par
ty, composed of Juniors. Sophomore
and Seniors and chaperoned by Miss
Westcott went to Payette river Tues
day night for a good time When
the proper time came to return home,
they found the unlimited Freshiss
had been there and that the wagon
was so badly dismembered it took
until the wee sma" hours to find
enough of it to get home in
