The grade children have been talk
. ing about it for a whole week and
their enthusiasm has grown with
their talk. All of those who wish
TO attend the matinee will be excused

The Student Tennis club, which
was only a talked-of organization
three months ago, is closing its sea-
son with a good record, and also with
a snug bank account for next year.
Three months ago, some of the
students who desired to play tennis
complained that they could not af-
ford to buy rackets and balls. but
that they would like to learn the
game of tennis. This group of stu
dents working in cooperation with
one of the teachers, effected tennis
club organization and set the dues at
% cents for those having neither
racket nor balls, and at 10 cents for
those having rackets. Enthusiasm
grew until 3S students, all those de-
string to learn the game, became
members.
The board very cordially consented
to buy the back stops and nets for
two student courts if the students
would make the courts. This they
very readily consented to do and in
a short time the courts were in
prime condition.
The club held one candy sale and
a sale of peanuts at the Normal
Gilbert basketball game. With these
proceeds they were enabled to buy
four tennis rackets.
Since the general school fund was
providing athletic equipment for the
various sports, it purchased two
rackets and a dozen balls for the
tennis club
During the tennis season. thirty
students learned to play tennis. de-
yeloped themselves physically, and
above all, learned to be good losers
as we'll as good winners.
Four pairs of tennis shoes were
awarded by the club to the winners
in the mixed doubles. Next year,
il is hoped that good tennis rackets
may be given as awards to the VIM
ners.
The Student Tennis club closes a
very successful first year with six
good tennis rackets, all in press over
the summer, and with 81 so drawing
interest until such time as it will be
needed in the fall
