MCMILLAN NOTES.
BY Roselle Haskell.

was one of the fastest and hardest
games Mcmillan has played this year.
This game won Mcmillan the State
Championship Basket Ball outside of
Kansas City and st. Louis.
In the first half of the game it
was a sure game and large score
for Mcmillan but in the last half the
sikeston boys played harder than in
the first half---but in vain to win the
game from Mcmillan.
There were about 800 loyal rooters
from Mexico that went over on the
special train to Columbia.
Mcmillan players were Keith,
Rodes, Locke, Cunningham, Kistler,
Atchison. Sikeston players were Ar
thur, Stone, Bowman, Dover, Schroff
and Mayfield.
A large number of citizens who
have taken great interest in the work
this year went on the special train
to root and cheer the team to
victory. Among those who went are:
Merritt Llewellyn, Harry Atchison

The play that was given last Fri
day evening by the Mcmillan students
was a splendid success. Miss Bolts
had the training of the students that
took part in the play of Shakespeare

LATE EASTER APRIL 23, 1916.
Easter cannot happen earlier than
March 22, nor later than April 25th,
but between those dates it has a wide
range of 35 days. At the Council of
Nice, 1926, A. D., it was agreed by
the representatives present that from
that time forward, Easter should fall
on the first Sunday after the full
March 81, and on every date between
that and April 25th. but it is only at
long intervals of time that it occurs
on it's extreme dates. In 1886 Easter
fell on April 25th, its latest possible
date, an event which had not oc-
Cured before during the 18th Cen,
tury, and will not again occur until
the spring of 1943. The last time
Easter fell on it's earliest date was
in 1918; this will not again happen
during the 18th or goth Century.
In 1895 it came very near breaking
the century's early Secord, falling OF
March 25th. The date for this year
is quite late being the the 2Srd OF
= April. The observance of Lent is g
, Catholic custom, principally, but il
, is becoming more and more popular
with all denominations in the Prot
r estant religions. as the years go by
: Many beautiful customs are observed
