School Notes.

Last Friday night in the Milton
gymnasium the Athena High school
basket ball tossers won double vic
tory over Columbia College in two
close, fast and snappy games, the
girls score being 23 to u, and the
boys, " to II. The girls game was
the fastest seen this year. The game
was even throughout, each side fight
ing hard for the ball. Kathren Froome
was star for Athena, making 81 of the
local sextette's points, while Pauline
Myrick made IS of Columbia's 81. The
boys game was characterized by
roughness, but the light Athena team
outpassed Columbia and won. The
game was very exciting, each team
leading for short intervals. With a
minute and twenty seconds left to play
and the score tied, the Athena boys by
faultess team work, succeeded in Gag
ing two field baskets. Jimmy Clark of
Milton ofliciated at the girls game
and Emery Worthington at the boys
game.
Tonight the Athena teams meet
Waitsburg in double header at Waits
burg. A faster game is expected at
Waitsburg than was played in Athena,
on account of the improved team work
of the local boys. Nothing is known
of the strength of the girls team.
Tomorrow night the teams play in
Touchet and both girls and boys are
expected to win. The Columbia Col
lege boys beat Touchet and as Athena
defeated Columbia, the local boys ex-
pect to run large score. Principal
and Mrs. Russell will accompany the
teams on the trip.
The next Literary Society meeting
viii be held the 10Th instead of today
because of the departure of the basket
ball teams for the Waitsburg- -Touchet
trip. The election Of officers will be
held next meeting and for that reason
the program has been shortened. Some
very pleasing numbers, however, have
been selected which will be found en-
tertaining. The program is as follows:

spirited songs on the street. Sew
eral short exhortations were made, and
the people invited to attend the re-
vival services at the church. A num-
