competition for the honor Of repre-
later. Last year Blackfoot had the
honor of winning the dramatic Sec
ton in the state contest at Boise and
these students are working faith
fully, not only to retain that honor,
but to win new ones.
Near the beginning of the year,
challenges were sent to Idaho Falls
and Pocatello high schools to partici-
pate in triangle debate with Black
foot sometime during. the last
semester. Twelve boys and girls OF
the Blackfoot high school began
working as soon as the question was
chosen and some two months ago our
home try out for the honor Of win
ming place in the debating team
was held in which II speakers, who
for some time previous had worked
faithfully in collecting and organic
ing material, met in this contest
There were. twelve speakers in. all,
six of whom were chosen to make up
our team. All honor is due the re-
naming six who failed place for IT
was by their keen competition that.
those chosen were compelled to show.
their mettle before being chosen for
the teams. On Friday, March "a,
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 Blackfoot 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 for
weeks collecting material, present
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-
ton and perfecting themselves In
band work and have now about
reached the time where they feel
that they are capable Of appearing
before the public in a concert that
will speak well for their labor. At
the beginning of this year, few

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
some weEty-five pieces and is work.
ing over time to prepare themselves
for their first public appearance on
Friday, March 81.
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 has appeared in
a concert before the public. The
orchestra will consist of some ten or
eleven pieces.
The people of she community have
faithfully patronized our athletics
and our only wish Is that the same
patronage will hold true for the
above mentioned school activities.
1t not only thru brain and muscle
that a school wins its standing, but
also thru the brain development and
the development of the hand that al
student body hopes to reach its high
est standard of perfection and at the
same time, you will discover that a
number of the boys who used their

field are at the same time giving
their brain power and muscal ability
in various other activities of school

them with your presence at these

discover that the Blackfoot schools
are not only developing the physical

and effort on the development Of the
