\. S. AND ALL STARS
GAME IN DOUBT
All Stars Too Heavy for Young
sters, but Lack Staying
Qualities.

The result Of the contest between
the High School basketball team and
the All Stars quintet, at Pleasure
Club hall Monday night, is in doubt.
Technically, the All.Stars won by one
point, but in reality, the general opin-
ion is that the High School is entitled
to the decision. There seems to be no
way to settle the controversy but to
have another game.
With the score SO to 80 in favor Of
the High School and 10 seconds to
play, Bunk Fuller was injured, and
blood spurted from his nose. Members
Of the team went TO his assistance, and
before time could be called, the AL
Stars threw a goal, making the score
"a to SO in their favor.
The game was fast one and fierce
ly contested The All-Stars had the
dvantage in size and weight, but lack
ed the necessary training to stand the
pace The All-Star lineup was Nc
Proud, Donald Rose, Edwin Jackson,
Hugh Crabtree and Willard Knox. In
the second half Mr.. Carruthers played
center in place of McProud.

FEAST OF LITTLE
LANTERNS
Beautiful Operetta to be Given by
School Chorus

Tomorrow evening will occur an en-
tertainment which should elicit the
deepest interest, in that it is to be
tgiven by Emmett's young people One
of the requirements of the High
| School is at least one public appear
ance of the students annually So at
the beginning of this year it was voted
to put on an operetta, and under the
efficient and untiring efforts of Miss
Frances Rundstrom, music supervisor,
"a high school girls have succeeded in
preparing mighty clever musical
production, all rehearsals having oc-
Cured outside of regular school hours.
1t is Chinese play and the stage
settings and costuming are wonderful
ly attractive. The girls have accom-
plished a great deal in chorus work,
and with the aid of the high school
orchestra, will no doubt reflect great
credit upon themselves and their di-
rector. The plot is entirely free from
the oft times disgusting sentiment,
and is a simple and refreshing assem-
BILE of catchy songs, drills and dances.
The four leading roles are sung by
Miss Alice Rose as Princess Chan,
Miss Leone Campbell, Maid to Prin-
cess, Miss Frances Campbell, gov
ess,and Miss Jeanette Motz, as
Juggler. The latter is graceful little
dancer, and adds touch of that dain-
ty art to the attractive garden scenes.
The girls hope to add substantial
sum to a fund for purchasing some
much needed equipment for the high
school, while giving an interested pub
lie a wholesome display of their ac-
in school music. /

Join Forces.

AS a result of the membership cam

ests of their respective sections and
keep the Club in touch with conditions
as affecting the farming community.
