been accomplished is trying out voices.
Some music has been ordered and Is
expected to arrive in the near future.
A lively pep meeting was held last
Friday noon to arouse interest in the
game with Pierre. Quite a bit OF pep
was shown at that meeting, but, sorry
to say, it did not last very long.
The fifth period only was run FRI
day afternoon on account of the Liter
airy societies. Splendid programs were
rendered in all four societies. Wis
itors are always welcome in any OF
the societies.
A small group of students met the
train Friday night when the Pierre
team arrived. The boys were enter
tanned in private homes in order to
save for the Athletic assocla-
ton.
Saturday occurred n of the most
important football games of the sea
son, that with Pierre. OF course we
had faith in the home team and knew
Brookines would come out ahead, but
in the first quarter it looked as If It
were to be a rather stiff game. But
it seemed as if all the scores Pierre
could get came in the first few MIN
utes. while our team fought bravely
and kept running the score up until
the end of the game, when it rested
at 4O-7. One more milestone on the
road to state championship is passed.
Are we going to pass the next n
with such rapid strides as we have
the others? OF course! Our next
game is with Huron next Saturday.
Come and boost. There was a n
crowd of townspeople turned out to
the last game and we very much APP
preciated it, but where was their pep
and noise? How can they keep still?
Now at the next game we want those
people and many others to come n
make some noise! The team is what
needs the backing at a football game
and how will the team know people
are there if they can't be heard?
One of the classes in Home Econ
omics rave the two teams a splendid
feed after the game. The boys
seemed to have enjoyed it, judging
from some remarks they have made.
A large crowd accompanied the
Pierre team to the train Saturday
night and gave them a noisy and

Report of heavy artillery fire on
both banks of the Tagliamento, with
chief pressure on Italian left wing,
shows that Austro-German patrols
have crossed river, and that enemy is

a mass attack from the north.
There is no indication whether Gea-

able his stand here is temporary while
positions of greater strength are be-

no official statement since retreat
