/ In the sale of Christmas Seals the
Powers That Be" made a consider

men and New Students" The high

dred seals.
The Near East Relief Bundle Day
campaign last Thursday resulted in
collection of thirty-one sacks of
clothing and shoes as Leavenworths
contribution to suffering Armenians.
Nearly every grade school pupil
brought bundle of some sort. A
committee of ladies from the Kumtux
Club, composed of Mesdames Wood
ruff, Barkee, Barclay and LndeJ
sorted it and sacked the clothing.
The work locally was under the drec-
ton of the grade principal, Mr.. Free
man.
Last Friday the Leavenworth grade
school basket ball team defeated the
grade school team from Peshastin to
the tune of Is to 7. TIL local graders
showed lack of practice but later on
should develop into fair aggrega-
ton These boys are worth develop
ing in basketball as we'll as in all 9TH
er lines, as the grade school team OF
today is the high school team of to
morrow and the All-Stars of few
years hence.
The following figures show the
number of cases of tardiness among
grade pupils for the four weeks end
ing Dec. 9th. Miss Myers room won
the quarter holiday offered for the
best record. Miss Myer, 0; Miss
Wansbrough, Miss Conrad and Mr..
Freeman, l each; Miss Lang, q Miss
Long and Miss Greene, 3; Miss Lind
ley, 4; Miss Maxwell, 4 Miss Barkeo
and Mrs. McClain, 6.
The high school basketball squa
has been cut to eighteen members as
it was impossible to handle all those
who turned out and do full justice to
either of the school teams. Whilo
those now on the squad will furnish
plenty of good material for some time
to come, undoubtedly there are some
others who have it in them to be stars
if there were the proper facilities for
them to keep up their training longer.
Those on the squad have promised on
their honor to live up to the training
rules as explained to them at the time
they were called together before the
first regular practice.
The high school second team de
feated Peshastin at basketball in the
Leavenworth gymnasium last Friday
afternoon by score of 26 to 13 This
is the first of series of games for
the second team and they did well
considering the fact that they only
worked together once before the
game. As a result the team WORK
was rather ragged but this will be
overcome as the boys become accus-
toned to one another. Poor eyesight
also seemed to bother the home boy
whenever they had the ball near their
own basket. Several substitutes were
put in in order to get a line on the
ability of as many as possible early
in the season. Some of the boys
showed real ability and team that
will put up fast game with any
team of their calss is in prospect.
The next game for this team will be
early in January probably with Cash
mere. In justice to the Peshastn
players it should be said that this is
their first attempt at basketball and
several of them had never seen a
game before. Considering this they
did very we'll and will be a harder
team to defeat next time
