SCHOOL NOTES

The basket ball game on the
School house court Friday afternoon
between Shelbina and Monroe re-
suited in defeat for M.HS. by the
score of 22-9. The two schools
are old enemies in athletic contests
and although they defeated M.H.S.
on this occasion we say they can't
do it next time. The game Friday
was very interesting despite the
high score. In the first half the
visitors were held down to an S-6
score. But alas, in the last half,
