night, the resulting score being 5
to II, in favor Of Weiser. In general
field playing the two teams were
we'll matched each team scoring two
field goals The Weiser girls, how
ever, on this occasion outplayed the
Caldwell girls in the matter Of free
throws from the foul line. Ordinar
lily the Caldwell forwards have made
fair record in this phase of the game
but Friday night seems to have been
''hoodoo."
The Caldwell boys basket ball team
met its waterloo at Mountain Home
last Friday night. The game settled
| the championship for southwest Ida
| no. The resulting score was II to %,
in favor Of Mountain Home. The To-
cal team has played splendid basket
ball this season and they realize that
| they met a fast team at Mountain
| Home. They accepted their defeat
with a splendid spirit and are turn
ing their attention to spring athle-
| tics.
The Parent-Teachers' Circle of the
Lincol Ward were given a splendid
program by the pupils of that build
| ing last Thursday, after which the
parents and teachers enjoyed a SPLEEN
did social hour together, The efforts
Of the teachers and pupils who pre-
pared this program were splendidly
rewarded by large attendance. Every
teacher and about fifty parents were
| present.
The committee of the Board of Edu-
cation on building and grounds is pre-
pairing to replace the dead trees on
the various grounds.
1t is their plan to improve the
school grounds as rapidly as their
financial limitations will permit.
A much needed improvement is the
Washington building-an inside toilet
system-has recently been completed.
The building committee has been au-
thorized to sell the outside buildings.
Plans are being formulated by the
grade teachers for a program to be
given in the spring, the funds from
which entertainment will be used to
develop some phase of school work.
AT last High School band begins
to promise to be reality. Thus far
the Caldwell schools have not meas
ured UP to their opportunity in this
direction. The matter of financing
such movement has been the diff
hculty. A number of the boys, how
ever, at present are enthusiastic about
the possibility of a band and ways
and means are being devised to meet
the expenses incident to such an or
: ganiZation for the remainder of the
year. The boys will have the hnan-
, cial part OF the proposition in charge
and believe they can make it CO."
