Our boys high school team played
the Wales team Of basket ball players
at Wales on Wednesday evening Of
this week.
On Tuesday afternoon u high
school debating team, consisting Of
Elyda Docksteader, Lewellyn Row
and Dewey Pierce, accompanied by
Miss Allie Dickson, at the head of
the English department, left for
Northwood, where they will meet the
Northwood high school team in a de-
batting contest. The individual men,
bers of our team have been doing
some conscientious work and will
doubtless make a good showing in the
contest.
Doctor Smith was at the school all
of Tuesday forenoon, and examined
most of the children in the third and
fourth grades. This volunteer work
that is being done in our schools by
DR.. Smith is of a high order and is
certainly very commendable. A COM
plete record Of the examination of
each child is to be kept on file in the
superintendent office and will be of
inestimable value to teachers and par
ents in the future. In order that our
schools may serve the best interests
of the community it is essential that
the individual shall be understood
perfectly, and the collection of such
data by a specialist in his line will do
much to bring about this ideal condi-
ton.
On Friday of last week our girls
basket ball team accompanied by Miss
Wood as coach, and a "bunch' of the
high school "rooters' journeyed to
Park River, where they met the local
high school team in a hotly contested
battle. The two teams were very
evenly matched. Electa Crockett and
Vina Drury were Langdon's individual
star players. The game was not fast,
but the Langdon girls did good team
work. During the first half neither
team made a field basket, Park River
made two free throws and Langdon
one The first half ended with a score
Of two to one in favor of Park River.
During the second half Mary Thon
took Ethel Loves place at guard,
Park River made one field basket and
one free throw, Langdon one field
basket and INC free throw. The final
score was 4 TO 5 in favor of Park
River. This was the first game away
from home for our team and the score
reflects much credit upon the indi-
vidual players and Miss Wood as THEN
coach.
On the same evening that the above
game was played the Langdon loca.
team of boys, which Mr.. Kenz]er, the
director Of our manual training de.
partment, and John Monette, one OF
our freshmen, met and defeated ths
Park River high school team. Thi.
game was characterized by the su.
perior basket shooting of the Langdo1
forwards, Robertson and Monnette ant
the mastery guarding Of Boyd ane
Kenzler. The first half ended with
score Of Is to 8 in our favor. A few
minutes after the ball was tossed u!

place. After this the referee quir

interest. The final score was So to
