Friday evening Mt Vernon played,
probably, the last game of the season
and won it by the overwhelming
score of 44-20. At this slaughter,
Steele High of Dayton was the victim.
1t will be remembered, and not with
out regret, that Steele was the team
that eliminated Mt. Vernon from the
tournament last year With this re-
membrance in their minds, "our boys"
started in with rush and literally
swept Steele off their feet. In fact,
so deep did that defeat of last year
cut that high school did not yield an
inch, as 1t were, and fought like dem
ons the entire game. The chief point
getters were Clayton and Seymour.
Let us now take an inventory of the
season. Counting the scores of the
tournament Mt. Vernon piled up a
total Of 425 points to their opponents
266. Just look at the size of it.
Yauger, although not scoring any
points, was one OF the best players
on the team anu just incidentally one
of the best guards In the history of
the high school
Now that the basketball season is
over the results of the games played
by the Mt Vernon high school team
are interesting to look over. The

Friday evening at the First ward
school building a penny social was
given. A large crowd was present
and quite a large sum of money was
ated, especially the different booths.
there we're art galleries, zoos, etc, all
of which were quite unique One great
attraction was a shoot the chutes, on
which both old and young rode alike,
This afforded great amusement for all
and was kept busy the entire evening.
Another great attraction was a fish
pond. Everyone present fished and
many we're the hearty laughs when the
novelties we're pulled forth. The
whole building was beautifully decor
atedh especially the different booths.
The color scheme in the halls was
purple and white. 1t certainly was,
as it was afterward dubbed, "a grand
success"
The Friday morning singing time is
Low wholly taken up with the practice
of debate songs. Each year words
are written to the popular songs at
debate time, However, there is one
old manstay that is never abolished
