DIsPERsEs HILARITY

Il
i Gloom dark, sinister gloom -
quickly and most effectively dispersed
the JOY prevailing among the large
crowd OF young people who had wit
messed the decisive victory Of our boys
and girls high school basket ball teams
over the Sleepy Eye Indians at the
local high school. gym Friday night,
when it was announced that the dance
which had been planned to he held at
1.-The Creamery Hall, had to be called
Off on account Of opposition by mem-
Ibers ofsthe board of education.
Symptoms Still Apparent.
The symptoms Of the utter disap-
pointment which gripped the pro-
spective 'trippers Of the light fan
tastic' were still apparent among, the
high school student body yesterday,
according to reports, and it remains to
be seen whether or not the healing
hand of time will be able to efface
the last trace of dark despair" If
this is at5all possible, it probably will
not be accomplished before many
moons.
Planned Hospitality.
The fleet exercise" at Creamery
Hall had been planned in connection
with the basket ball games, here in
order to provide entertainment for the
members of the Sleepy Eye teams and
their friends who had come. here with
them to witness the contests, during
the hours intervening before the de-
parture Of the early morning passenger
for that place.
Calls on Police.
A budding young D Demosthenese was
chosen by the student body to call on
Chief Of Police Alvin Harmening and
plead with him On behalf Of his col
leagues to grant the young people per-
mission to hold the. terpsicho korean di-
version. After listening to the brief
but brilliant oratorical efforts Of the
intercessor, Chief Harmening informed
the young man that it was up to the
students to convince the school board
members of the justice Of their con-
4 tention, as the police would not take
4 the responsibility of granting the re-
quested permission, whereupon Mr..
1 D Demosthenese was politely informed
that his interview with the Chief was
at an end.
4 Board Members Get Busy.

ent Arnold Gloor was called on the
i telephone by one of the school board
! members and informed that the dance
would not be allowed. The manager
