tne negative ueDatlnS team.
 The first school game of baseball was played in Winslow last Saturday afternoon against the w. H. S. They beat us to the tune of eight to seven. The game was close throughout. Our boys showed lack of practice more than anything else. Smiths arm went to pieces in the fourth inning and that is what lost the game.
 Many students of the Normal at- tended the Easter cantata given at the Federated church Sunday evening. 1t was presented under the direction of Miss Gardner.

 The snow Tuesday put a damper on athletic activities for few days.
 The Flagstaff and Tempe debaters, together with Miss Hartmann, the Tempe coach, and their partners, spent very enjoyable day at Walnut Canyon Saturday. There were three carloads of them and they report an excellent time, climbing, motoring, rolling rocks, and eating.
 One of the most interesting sur prises the students of the campus have enjoyed in long time was when MT. and Mrs. Ploughe, nee Miss Marie Baker, appeared at supper Sunday evening. The affair was complete surprise to everyone Rice and anti quated shoes were in great abundance. The young couple were married Sat urday evening by Justice of the Peace NJ. A. Murphy. Miss Baker has been attending school for the past winter is we'll liked by all the students. We all join in wishing the young couple long and pleasant trip over the matri- monial road. So small a thing as marriage is said not to stop Mrs. Ploughe in her endeavor to finish her school work. She appeared again at school this week and will remain with us until after graduation, May 10. J. Fish Smith of Snowflake visited with his brother, Lazelle during the week end.
 Tuesday morning MT. Lathrop told of the trip of the debating team to the valley. He had nothing but the best of feelings toward our sister school and the way in which they were treated. Hyde and White have peculiar weaknesses for Duetch cous- ins and other females but outside of the fact that the local team behaved themselves very creditably. The only thing our team failed to get was tmajority of the votes in the debate This, MT. Lathrop contends, is due to two reasons. First, the delivery of our team was poor owing to the fact that they did not know their speeches we'll enough. Second, our team had to meet the strongest team that Tenn pc could put out. He claims that, we could have easily beaten their average team.

The Normal school as body, and as indi- viduals stand ready to do anything their Uncle Sammy wants of them.
 The assembly was very ably enter tained Wednesday and Thursday of last week when Miss Winterfield read two of Frank Stockton's stories, "The Lady or the Tiger" and 'The Dis courager of Hesitancy."
 Gladys Dickerson spent Easter with her parents in Ash Fork. The Thomas girls likewise celebrated the occasion in Holbrook.
 Perhaps the most impressive as- sembly exercises ever held in this in stitution were held Wednesday morn ing. Dr. Blome was not in attend ance during the forepart of the pro- gram and Mir. Walker proceeded to read a paper on behalf of the faculty defending Dr. Blohe against the false accusations that have been heaped upon him He concluded by reading a set of resolutions which the faculty
