The chemistry laboratory has been
fitted with bottle racks and treated
with a coat of paint. The students
now have individual working places.
For the first time in two years the
Glenwood teams Were defeated by Lead
vile. The boysa game was good, inter
esting, and for us-heartbreaking
Leadville, whom we have always been
able to beat heretofore, won from our
team 32-l2. 1t seems hardly believable
that the bearers of the crimson and
cream had to take the short end of the
score. The first basket was made by
Glenwood and the score stood 1913 in
favor of Leadville at the end of the
first half. In the last half leadvile
used clever center-to-forward to guard
combination and ran up heavy score.
Craig and Harding starred for Lead
vile, while Hopkins and Budlong were
Glenwood' s men. The girls game
ended 26-3 in favor of Leadville. We
blame the high altitude for such an
overwhelming score; it seemed to affect
most all all of our players. Little

was the excellent playing of Leadviiln S
right forward captain. Cleverncss and
accuracy enabled her to make twenty of
Leadville's twenty-six points. The
high school students accompanying our
teams to Leadville were Helen Hughes,
Mary McGuirk, Ruth Norstrum, Jean
ette Smith, Jesse Peabody and Wallace
Rawles. During our stay in Leadville
We were well and royalty entertained
by the Leadville boys and girls. Abou.
