Last Friday the high school boys
basket ball team played that of the
Herman high school. This was the
cleanest game ever played at AL
berta. There was practically no
fowling. Alberta was victorious Fl
to 10. The Alberta high school
team shows very great Improvement
since they last played against the
Morris high school team about
month ago. The Herman boys were
the finest gentlemen who ever came
to Alberta to partake in any inter
school contest. There was absolutely
no tripping or rough play. They
realized that they were not playing
the barbarous game of foot ball, but
basket ball, one of the finest, most
difficult of all games. 1t is hoped at
Alberta that the game can be re-
turned at Herman. The Herman boys
have made the finest kind of i'm
preston here. They show what kind
of training they get at home with
their parents at Herman.
The Pig Growing Club had their
regular meeting last Tuesday after
noon, Pres. Kampmeier presiding.
All the officers were present, as we're
also all members. except one. Mr..
Ben Busch was to speak to the club,
but was prevented from coming by
sickness. The club has decided to
have its regular meeting on the first
Tuesday of every month for the en-
tire year. At the next meeting Mr..
Busch will give the boys and girls
of this club a helpful practical talk
on how to raise good hogs and make
money at it. Mr.. Busch raises full
blooded Duroc-Jersey hogs.
Friday evening this week, March
8, the boys and girls high school
basket ball teams will play the re-
spective teams of the Norris high
school. The Alberta students feel
| quite certain of victory this time
on account of great improvement
made since the last game. When
playing Morris last they received
the finest kind of treatment at the
hands of the Norris faculty and
students. The game there was eX-
ceedingly clean and fair. Morris
treated Alberta we'll, as usual. The
Morris boys and girls simply out
played the Alberta students.
The Pepperton basket ball team
certainly played an interesting,
clean game against the Agricultural
school team last Friday evening at
the Star theatre. The score was 16
to Is in favor of the latter. The
Pepperton people always try hard
to play fair" Their record was
extended in this respect last Friday.
1t is hoped that these two teams
play some more; it is too good play
ing to be lost from now on. Let
the good thing go on.
The subject of the visual instruc-
ton last Friday was 1.-THE Leaning
Tower and Cathedral at Pisa, Italy,
and other industrial geography sub
jects. This week it will be "The
Greatest Saw Mills of the World in
Sweden" This will show the lum-
Der manufacturing industry in in
dustrial geography.
Among the many inquiries and
compliments about this school came
one Of the best from DR.. Christensen,
of Starbuck, to Mr.. NOrby. The
doctor highly complimented the
splendid spirit shown by the Com
mercial Club and the Woman's Club
at the dedication of the teachers
manse the other day. He said that
this day at Alberta was 1.-The great
est day in his life" He said that he
had learned more on this day than
any other in his experience. This
is an inspiring word and ought to
mean something to all of us.
