dies a good rest until the sixth Of
January, when work will recon-
mence.
The closing of high school session
was celebrated by surprise party
given by the High School faculty for
the high school students. The fun
took place on Wednesday evening in
the opera house. The festivities
were preceded by an "indoor track
meet, which consisted of such en-
trees as the Standing Broad Grin,
Grunt, Peanut Relay, Hundred Cent?
meter dash, and a dozen other equal
ly exciting and interesting items.
Before the party broke up de-
licious bite was served. The splend
id success of the evening is summed
up we'll by two remarks that were
made, one by a teacher, the other
just raised the roof several inches.
but nobody seemed to mind-and it
sure was fun. Said the student:
Gee, l didn't know teachers were so
human. However, the student body
was not to be outdone in surprises,
and before the festivities ended each
OF the faculty was presented with
some beautiful and useful gift. Supt.
Schwalje and Miss Eaton were sur
prised with Il beautifully embossed
fountain pen each, the Misses Bake
we'll and Anderson were each given
a splendid box of stationery and Miss
Nelson fine box of bon bons. Every
body voted the evening one of the
best ever. and the great hearted
generosity of the students will be
long remembered by the teachers, as
no doubt the evenings fun will be
equally remembered by the student
body.
AS a fitting climax to the ap-
more scalps were added to the al
ready long string of unbroken vic
tories in basket ball.
Hope %. Lakota 3
The above score indicates what
easy meat was found by our first
quint when they invaded Lakota on
Thursday night. The whirlwind pas
sing, snappy teamwork, and scin-
tillating individual play of the Hope
team SO dazed the opponents that
the game was over before they had
chance to get under way. Only
one basket was allowed Lakota to
Hopes ten-which speaks a very
loud and encouraging word for the
splendid work of the Hope guards,
PLANE and Reynolds were a tower
of strength on the defense, while
Gumb, Klovstad and Joslyn looped
in the winning tallies. The team
was royalty treated by their oppon-
ents. The summary is as follows:
Field Baskets-Gumb S, Joslyn 2,
Lakota l.
Donavan Kraabel and Jay Bissel
substituted in fine shape during the
second half.
Hope 16, Devils Lake IL
II After a good nights rest at Lakota
our warriors travelled on to Devils
Lake. The game was battle royal
from start to finish-Devils Lake
scored the first basket-but Hope al
most Immediately looped in two, and
from then on it was a scrap to the
final whistle. The score finally stood
l 2 to 13 in favor of Hope and it was
then that the excitement waxed high
er than ever, for Devils Lake has
record of winning games by one point
margin. But playing in great form,
the Hope boys rushed the ball down
the floor twice in rapid succession
making tally each time, land this
brought the score to 16 to IL, and
SO it stayed till the end of the game,
for the Devils Lake players seemed
dazed. Hope clearly out played their
opponents at every stage of the game.

in the basket ring, which was capit-
allied by the losing team as their
excuse for their defeat. The follow
ing is taken from the Devils Lake
World:
"The high school basket ball team
went down tn dofoat for tn. Arot tim
this season last night when quintet
from Hope nosed them out for a vie

one of the hardest fought contests
witnessed on the local floor in sever
al years. And the game was not lost
for the home squad without much
if not more glory being their share
Of the honors than that due Hope.
