LAST WEEKS BASKET BALL GAMES

LAST WEEKS BASKET BALL GAMES
Both the girls and the boys basketball
teams journeyed to Prosser last Friday

dred rooters, they both went down to
defeat. Tho girls game ended the
first half with score of Is to 10 in
favor of Prosser, the last half 2O-19 still
in Prosser's favor. The larger field and
"out of bounds and the fact that it is
the first game that the girls have
PLAYED on foreign floor, makes the
above score very satisfactory. The
best of feelings prevailed between both
teams during the game and afterwards.
A splendid reception was enjoyed by
all at the Prosser high school, and the
teams parted in the best of friendly

The record books of the high school
show one hundred nineteen and one

spring is almost here, the attendance
should be regular as there will not be
any more bad weather.

1T would seem that middle or later
life should be the most happy and
truly satisfying period. of life-that TO
which the previous years all have
been leading, But we can't then stop
growing if we would be truly happy
and useful-and let us remember that
to be useful is one of the prime re-
quisites of being truly happy. Some
things possibly have gone; but other
things surely have taken or should
take their places.
Some of the bloom may have left
the cheeks; little streaks of color,
different from that of babyhood or
youth, may have appeared in the hair;
less lithesomeness in the form may
require a little different suit or gown
to reveal its greatest attractiveness,
or even to envelop it at all.
But whatever changes the years
may bring, and we will all reach mid
die age-if we live long enough and
have not already passed. it-there
should be gains, In experience, in
knowledge, in wisdom and in powers,
that will far more than compensate
for whatever losses or apparent losses
the passing years have brought.
There will be disappointments both in
ourselves and in others. There will
be disillusions. But nothing is ever
quite perfect in this world or in this
life. We will moreover save ourselves
much of unhappiness when we once
fully and frankly recognize this fact.
There will be disappointments both in
