interesting talk about them to the
school, whihc showed the advantages
of freedom, the students of a smaller
school have in comparison to those of
a large school.
Prof. Wilbur Ensign, who was to
have left school to join the Officers
Reserve Corps, was unable to pass the
physical examination because he had
continue his work here the rest Of the
infamatory rheumatism and so he will
school year. Although the school is
sorry that he could not get into the Of
ficers reserve, they are glad he is to
be with them the rest of the year.
Last Saturday the baseball team
jorneyed to Hammond and admins
tered tasty beating to the High
school team ct that place. The local
High got busy the first inning and
scored 6 runs which put the game on
the go right there. Peterson pitched
good game but after the locals got
far enough ahead he let down a lit
tie. He had excellent support, none
of the errors being made at critical
times. Peterson was again the star
at the bat getting home run, a double
and two singles out of five times at
bat. His home run came with bases
full. The team played betetr ball than
they have SO far this season. Next
