students are working faithfully, not
only to retain that honor, but to |
win new ones.
Near the beginning Of the year,
challenges We're sent to Idaho Falls |
and Pocatello High Schools to par
tlcipate in triangle debate with
Blackfoot sometime during the last |
semester. Twelve boys and girls of
| the BlackfOot High School began
working as soon as the question was
chosen, and two months ago our
home try out for the honor of win
ming a place on the debating team
was held in which twelve speakers,
| who for some time previous had
worked faithfully in collecting and
organizing material, met in this con-
test. There were twelve speakers in
all, six of whom were chosen to
make up our team. All honor is due
the remaining six who failed place
for it was by their keen competition
that those chosen were compelled to
show their mettle before being cho
sen for the teams. On Friday, March
Gath, Blackfoot's affirmative team
will journey to Idaho Falls and meet
the negative team of that place,
while PocatellO's affirmative team
will compete on the Blaclfoot floor
with the home negative, while, at
the same time, Idaho Falls will send
their affirmative team to PocatellO.
The students representing BlackfOot
have worked into the midnight hours
fnr u,ooEc oC11ootinU m toria1 nrnS-
ent and destroying argument as
found and presented on both sides
Of the question.
For the past two years number
of boys have met faithfully each day
for the purpose Of obtaining instruc-
tion and perfecting themselves in
band work and lhave now about
reached the time where they feel
: that they are capable of appearing
before the public in a concert that
will speak we'll for their labor. At
the beginning Of this year, few
were lost by reason of graduation
last May; Others came in to take
their places. With the exception of
two or three persons, none Of these
individuals had had any experience
in band work.
The band consists Of twenty-five
pieces and is working overtime to
prepare themselves for their first
public appearance, on Friday, March
31st.
During the same time a high
school orchestra has been organized
} and is also working hard to assist
: the band in giving it's performance.
) This will be the first time in which
either organization mas appeared in
| concert before the public. The
orchestra will consist of some ten or
eleven pieces.
The people of the community have
2 faithfully patronized our athletics,
4 and our only wish is that the same
patronage will hold true for the
l above mentioned school activities.
l It is not only through brain and
muscle that a school wins dts stand
2 ing, but also through the brain de-
velopment and the development OF
the band that a student body hopes
to reach its highest standard of per-
e lection and at the same time, you
will discover that a number of boys
who used their Drawn and muscle
on the athletic field are at the same
time giving their brain power and
musical ability in various other ac-
: tivities of school life, thus they are
developing into we'll balanced in
s dividual. Support them with your
$ presence at these activities and let
t them know that you are not only
r backing them upon the athletic
: field, but in all lines of school hfe
S in general, thus you will discover
s that the BlackfOOt schools are not
only developing the physical side,
! but are spending far more time and
Y effort on the development Of the
! mental.
