The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1916-10-20
school Notes

The foot ball team played their
second game at Appleton last Sat
urday and lost game in which
the teams were we'll matched by
score Of 18-O. The boys showed
considerable improvement in their
play over that in the Ortonville
game, but number of the players
still show lack of experience. Both
teams showed stronger on the
offensive than in defensive play,
and this is perhaps accounted for
by the fact that both schools have
barely enough players to make
team and scrammage practic is
therefore impossible. Three times
the Milbank team was within strik-
ing distance Of the goal line, but a
confusion Of signals, or tumble or
sudden strength in the opposing line
took the chance from them.
The game was a clean friendly
one, and the work Of the referee,
Mr.. Lott entirely fair and i'm
partial. The only unpleasant
feature Of the afternoons sports
was an injury received by Fenner
in the last quarter when he had his
left arm hurt and had to retire
from the game, Mckenna M. who
went along as an eleventh hour sub
stitute went into the game in his
place, and did we'll considering he
had not practiced at all this season.
The team lined up as follows
Bagdon, Capt, +: halves, Brecken-
ridge and Cochrane: Bingham. c.. +;
Maxtleld, c.; ends Fenner and
Taylor; tackles O'FarreI and Allen
guards, Roggenbuck and McKenna
H.
For time it appeared that the
Appleton game might be the last
of the season, as there seemed to
be too few boys trying for places
on the team, and several who have
not made the required grades for
the first six weeks to be eligible
till they bring up their school work
to passing standing. A contract
had been signed to play a game or
the 28th at Aberdeen, and after
considerable discussion it was de.
cided not to play this week but t6

shape for that The captain is an,
xious to have the team hold to-
gether and play as many game:
as possible, ending the season with
a game with the alumni.
The grade cards for the first 81,
weeks period were issued on Mon.
day. Principal Miss Goddard OF
the High School was much pleased
to find that much smaller mum

by high school pupils this time
than at the same time last year
If this indicates that more faith.
full work is being done by pupils
the school has reason to be con.
graduated. Those pupils who
have gone below passing for the
first period must make strenuous
effort to do better work if they
are to make their credits this year.
The Junior class organized last
week electing the following Off.
GERS; Pres. Agnes Martens; v. Pres,
Helen Bury; Secy. William Ross;
Treas. Margaret Bouck; class advis-
or Miss Olson.
The second year selected the
following as their officers: Pres.
Janet Lockhart; V. Pres. Cecil
Taylor; Secy. Harry Stevenson
Treas. Katharine Mitchell; class
advisor, Miss Forsyth.
A High School orchestra is in
prospect, and it appears that a
number of pupils are ambitious to
try this work. Most Of these have
had some experience in Professor
Hopfner's Juvenile Orchestra, and
a good showing ought to be made
by the group. Alva Mcgowan will
likely act as leader, and Miss
Bublicz will have charge of the re-
hearsals which will be held once a
week in the assembly room.
