SHEPHERD COLLEGE NOTES.

There has been no suspension of
lass work or student activities at
Srerherd College on account OF the
rrevailng influenza, though il can
hardly be said that as much is being
accomplished as there would be if all

From fifteen to twenty students have

OF the Shepherd College faculty, are

Basket ball seems to have been
disloncerted in no way, and on last
Frilas and Saturday the boys made @
trip to Chambersburg and Mt. Alto

10 get q very satisfactory account oi
the game with the Chambersburg High
School boys and we surmise that our
boys cannot say much concerning the
incompetence of the official in charge

to he good sports and yet they would
not like to have their supporters be.

was 81 to 20 against them, however
though MOer put the ball through the
