SCHOOL NOTES
Scion high school met defeat at the
hands of the North Arson nine last
Monday at the fair. Both sides play
ed good ball but superior team work
gave North Arson the winning score.
Scion high played Bingham high
last Friday night and lost with
high score piled up against them. The
Bingham boys showed the fight thru
out the game. The team work shown
by the visitors should be a lesson to
the home boys. Team work in any
sport is what counts. If individual
playing was the thing in baseball we
would have a team composed Of one
man. As soon as the Scion high boys
learn that to play baseball they must
Dractice, and when in game must
wake up the HrSI Ddll VI lhe HISL mn
ing and play together until the last
half of the ninth, then victories in
stead of defeats will come their way.
Now that school is going in full
swing it would be very encouraging to
the teachers if the parents would drop
in occasionally to offer suggestions
and to see how their children are
Scion schools were closed on Mon
day, due to the teachers convention |
at North Arson.
Plans are being made for a new
gymnasium in the vacant room in the
basement The athletic association
plan to furnish the equipment. Dumb
bells, boxing gloves, punching bag, or
any other equipment useful in a gym
nasium would be of great help in
eauiping this room and would be
gratefully accepted by this associa-
ton.
So far this year the records show
many absentees and tardinesses. I'll
is hoped that parents will give this
matter particular attention.
