1t was on the same night that Snass
said to Smoke:

was that Snass traded his skins at
the posts and got his supplies Of am

had warned him twice he burned bis

Porcupines were killed In the fight.
But there was no more cheating.

West Building Makes
an Excellent Record

The thing, which is particularly graf
flying to the teachers is the excellent
cooperation of parents. This was evl-
denced by the outcome of the st. Pat
rick's social, which was given at the
building some days ago. At that event
silver offering was taken, which
amounted to $3.50. This is to be ex-
pended on books for the school library.
As to athletics, the West building
has been somewhat handicapped this
year. This is due to the fact that the
best of our last years players were
promoted to the high school at the end
of the year, while the other buildings
have practically the same material as
that of last year. AS it was last year,
we were the undisputed champions in
boys basket ball, while this year We
were runners-up in the ward school
championship.
At present we are doing hard prac.
tice in army ball, boys and girls alike
going at 1t with a determination that
is bound to win.
