The High School pupils have UNI
'dertaken to have electric lights in
stalled in the gymnasium and
locker rooms. They intend to Ii
quidate the debt by giving basket
ball games when in practice.
Prof Iceberg has been training
the school boys for basket ball
and soccer. From the present rate
OF progress we shall expect some
fine games in the future.
The girls will begin their athle-
tics under the instruction of Miss
Perley, the latest addition to our
school faculty. They are trying
very hard to secure piano for
the gymnasium as it is almost i'm
possible to carry on the girls work
without the aid of music.

high schol teachers spent the week
end in Des Moines with her moth
er and sister of Panora.
