Two Pullman teams played the To-
cal teams here in Albion last Friday
night in basket ball, The Pullman
teams were too much for the home
teams The school team is made up
OF boys from the grades along with
some from the high school and of
course, being inexperienced, couldnt |
cope with the experienced teams. The |
team had not had any practice |
With practice and training they will |
be a hard bunch to beat The score |
for the school teams was 52-6, and |
for the town teams 32-10 From all |
appearances it looks as if Pullman |
has good show for the champion |
ship of the county for the coming |
year.
School visitors this week were as
follows; Nellie Smith, Ada Haslet, |
and Miss Hughey
The school gymnasium is looking |
different now, after the touches ap- |
piled by Amos French, and the peo- |
pie should congratulate themselves |
upon the fact that they have three |
good men on the school board. It |
is fact that a community can be |
read by the condition OF its school |
buildings, and we know that a great
part OF a child's life is spent in the /
school room and we can't fnstin /
within the child the spirit of cleanli-
ness when the buildings in which
they are getting their schooling are
not what they should be Come and
visit the school and look for your
self and don take someone's word
for its looks. See if you don agree
with the majority in the changing Of
things for the better
