The story Of the precipitation OF
the bleachers has caused much ex-
citement in the high school and
community. This occurred last FRI
day night a week ago in the basket
ball barn on Second street. The
magnificent amphitheatre pitched
forward and then crushed to the
earth in the beginning of the Nc
Pherson- Abilene game. Owing to
the limited capacity of the barn,
over 100 students were crowded on
the bleachers. When the boards be-
gan to crack everyone stood up and
began to scream. Then the planks on
which they were standing slid down
toward the front of the court and
landed everyone safely at the bot
tom. If we use the expression of the
senior girls, I'VE were just simply
scared pink" 1t fits the occasion
perfectly well. This accident might
have created great havoc among the
A. H. S. students but luckily 1t did
not. Now this shows that we need
modern gymnasium for the Abilene
high school, doesn't it? Many busi-
ness men have expressed their opin-
ion on the subject and have said they
will back us II we will push 1t. But
this isn't all that we need; we need,
for instance, a larger laboratory for
agriculture and a dining room to be
used by the domestic science depart
ment exclusively.

with the Central Kansas Business
college. 1t was fast game, that Is
, for the high school. The final score

claim any special credit for the VIC
tory. but it does for the high score
it ran up. Little made the high In
dividual score. His total was 40.
Steyer came second with 80 points
to his credit. w. d. Oakman OF Abb
lene refereed the game.
The freshman class had party at
the home of Miss Lorna Troup last
Saturday night. The evening passed
pleasantly with games and various
pastimes. One or the chief amuse-
ments was an auction. Each person
brought some old article for which
he had no use, and the auctioneer
sold them. The money was book
keeping currency. Besides the facul-
ty, Mr.. c. w. Wheeler and Miss Over
were guests of the Freshmen. All
who were there had a jolly, hilar-
ious time. The one unusual feature
of the party was that only two
bricks of ice cream were taken by
the upper classmen.
