school Notes

The two basket ball teams played
at Appleton last Friday evening and
managed to break even in that the
girls won their game by a score Of
"a to 6 and the boys losing 81 to
22.. The games were interesting
but the boys found that the Appleton
playors we're much heavier and they
evidently were used to basket ball
that closely resembled foot
ball. Numerous fouls were call on
the Appleton players, one player
being removed from the game on
account of repeated offence. The
boys are not discouraged by this
defeat however, and are working
hard to make as good a showing as
possible in future games.
The girls game was rather one
sided and the report comes that all
the players did we'll. Erna Schneck
threw baskets with her accustomed
regularity and the Appleton girls
had difficulty in making even a
single field basket. It appears now
that the girls team is going to re-
peat the record of the last three
years and close the 0 without
a defeat. Miss Olson and Rev. Mr..
Isreal went with the team and off,
Gated for Milbank. Appleton has
a new high schoo! building
and avery fine gymnasium and
the Appleton school pupils are
very proud of equipment. 1t is
not likely that the teams will play
this week as no games have beeu
scheduled and it seems unwise to
plany home games on account OF
other attractions.
The school pupils showed good
interest in the health meeting last
week and q large number of them
attended. Pleasing features of the
program veae an exercise called

a part in the program and is hoped
that even q larger attendance OF
