WIN FROM WILEY

And Have Almost an Even Break with
Centennial-Interestine Meet
ing at Washing ton School
On last Saturday evening the
boys and girls basketball teams
from Wiley met with the Rocky
Ford teams upon the home floor,
and a large crowd was present to
see the sport.
Both visiting teams showed
skill in the way they handled the
ball, but they weren't speedy
enough for the "Melontown" ag-
gregation, our girls winning by a
score of 50 to 8 while our boys
trimmed their opponents to the
tune of 43 to %.
Tuesday afternoon Centennial
high school played Rocky Ford at
Cheeks hall, and our boys lost
the game, although Centennial
had to fight for every point. and
then had a difficult task. The
score was 33 to 81, this being the
closest score that Pueblo had
against them this year.
Teachers Meeting
A meeting of the parents and
teachers of the Washington school
was held Tuesday. Mrs. Nickel
vey read paper on the Boy Scout
movement, and then questions were
asked and there was an open dis
cussion on these questions. Much
good was derived from these dis
cusslons and many present par
ticipated in the discussion.
1t was decided that the meet
ings would be held the second
Tuesday of each month at 1880
p. IN. If the attendance Is as
good at all the meetings as it was
Tuesday, there is little doubt that
the discussions will be lively and
that parents and teachers will
come to a better understanding.

School Notes
The high school girls celebrated leap
year by taking the boys to the basket
ball game Saturday, and then taking
them to the picture show. The girls
showed the boys how to run matters
and both boys and girls had jolly
time, some of the girls even going so
far as to have chatting dish party
after the game. The girls found that
playing boy is not the easiest thing to
do. and after this party most of the
boys decided that they could not very
well fill girls place.
