HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By d. H.

taken last Friday and Saturday by the
local basket ball team was postponed on
account of the train being unable to
get thru. The trip was to include the
towns of Nezperce and Ilo-V ollmer and
was to be the last trip taken by the
locals this year. The games will now
be played on Feb. 10Th and 18th. 1t is
the sole ambition of the locals to de-
feat Nezperce this trip and Coach
Chamberlain thinks with two weeks
more practice that the desired feat can
be accomplished. Here is hoping that
the locals will be successful on their
trip.
The basket ball team being dis
couraged because they were deprived
of their trip, volunteered to pitch snow
for the railroad last Friday. No doubt
this experience has developed them suf-
ficiently that when they play Nezperce
and Ilo-Vollmer, they (their opponents)
will be easy victims.

the local high school sang at the

evident that the members of our glee

talking, and other such helpful exercises
to develop the amateur into a profess

mains is the score to determine the
victor.
