Soon A. II. s. will again have
winning football team! The question
why is our football team losing
one?" has been satisfactorily an
swered by Prof. J. w. French. To
begin with the team was green :
hut now that they are more accus-
toned to the game. they have sim
ply failed to get down to business
The fellows realize this and are
buckling down to work with vim
and pep that would be credit 10
anv high school. So now let every
student get the spirit and do his
mart to make the team a winner.
We certainly appreciate the gen
erosity which has been manifested
this fall by the school board All
we lack now Is a larger high school
building; but cheer up, we can nave
classes on the stair landings.
The real pep" is surely preVa-
lent among the Junior girls Last
Friday six of the girls went to Man
haitian to help root for the football
squad. 1t is thought quite probable
frat their presence aided Manhat-
tan in taking the score and, too, 1t
is thought that they kept our squau
from winning, since their presence
alone afforded such great attraction
that no eye was fixed on FOOTBALL
hut on the girls. However, they
did their share of roofing through
which loyalty they lost their arm
hands. The squad declares they
were a dignified crowd. Can 1t be
ltrue?

basement, has been utilized by turn

been very cozily furnished with a
new rug, presented by the school
board, and with odds and ends OF
furniture taken from various parts
Of the building.
Miss Gertrude Hazen and the d,
Is. girls are the proud possessors OF
a new set OF dishes given them by
the school board. An electric iron
and a set OF silver teaspoons are
other new possessions OF this de-
partment. These luxuries were pur-
chased by the Domestic Art girls
with the prize money awarded to
them at the Dickinson county fair
A shipment of new supplies Tor
the chemistry and physics depart

undoubtedly be much more salts

line held better than it has been
doing and was only punctured a
couple of times for large gains.
The local team buckled down and
played good game in the fourth
quarter and had they played at
that clip throughout the game they
would have held the Clay county

with his brilliant open field running
and stealing several Abilene passes

basketball Prospects

The prospects for basketball are
splendid this year except for the
finding OF a hall. Last year Abilene
played in a barn with a cement
floor and will by no means play
under such conditions this year. AS
no suitable place is to be obtained
it looks as though basketball would
fall through. This game is thrilling
and interesting and is carried "n

school will regret being forced to
abandon this form OF athletics but

Largo Enrollments Raise Cost OF

The problem Of holding SOCIAL

in9 more difficult every year On
account OF the increasing size OF
the classes each year private houses
are not always large enough to be
used but halls must be rented Tor
the purpose. This makes an extra
item of expense which some not IN
the best of circumstances feel they
cannot nav and consequently do not

and select circles in the classes. Such
ia not an ideal school spirit. There
will be two factions in the school
and the democracy OF the school
will be threatened. Something must

would be simplifled a great deal II

school board. This would bring the
cost to each person down to rea-

would have upset the world; to the
effect that the Old Testament was
