knocking was heard on Clyde

Clyde-Hello. Who's there?
Shrimp-This is Pearl.

And deep silence reigned- there
after.

is believed to be influenza that is
troubling him.
An examination of Economic
Geology was given yesterday by
Mr.. Scott. The papers have not
been corrected as yet, but the pallid
countenances of several seem to in
dictate that the ex was no snap.
James Moore and Lawrence Muir
ply had been helping to put up ice
on the Pearce ranch several miles
below town. Next morning they
were ready to put in an order for
couple of pairs of crutehes.
The rules governing the Robert
McCutcheon Brown Memorial Con-
test are posted on the bulletin
board. This is contest for the
best story. written by a high school
student. There are prizes for the
shree best Stories. Some of our
students, having literary ability,
should try out for these prizes.
Coming Events
Next Friday the Sparks Iii boys
and girls basketball teams come
here to play the local Hi school.
Sparks is one of the fast teams of
western Nevada and as they beat
the local boys on the Sparks floor,
it will be an interesting game to see
in view of the fact that this time
our boys will be on a familiar
court, and will be more able to
show what they can do against their
opponents. The Sparks girls team
S also fast, as is evidenced by
moving that they beat the U. of
n. Frosh in which team several
old time Winnemucca players are
making good. Tickets for this
double-header next Friday can be
obtained from any of the students,
and we advise you to attend this
game if you wish to see two games
of good clean basketball.
As the. Sparks boys play Battle
Mountain after they play here, it
was decided that there would be
no dance after the games Friday
night, but the girls team will be
treated to a dinner Saturday noon.
Both the Sparks and Winnemucca
girls teams are to be there.
From all reports, the refresh
ments will be delicious, but they'll
have to go some to beat those that
the boys were served on the trip
to that place couple of weeks
ago.
Chemistery Examination
The chemistery class was given
its mid-year examination last Fri
day by Professor Scott. Some got
by with all colors flying while others
were not quite so successful. The
laboratory work will be resumed
soon, which will be quite an agree
able change from the steady grind
of review work. New apparatus re-
ceived just before the review work
started will enable several interest
ing experiments to be performed
in the near future.
Senior Entertainment
AT meeting of the Seniors
Monday it was decided that they
give a musical comedy. One sug-
gestion was polished Pebbles
As this entertainment requires more
participants than the class can
supply, several boys of the junior
class have agreed to assist in it.
This play will not be given until
the latter part of April because so
many of the cast are engaged in
athletics, and will be unable to
devote much time to it until after
the tournament.
Mrs. Brady has consented to
assist in producing this entertain
ment, and from our experiences in
the past, this one ought to be as
great a success as the Others be-
fore that she has directed.
English
New maps, for both historical and
commercial geography reference
have been received by those of the
two departments of the school. The
maps received are: Formation of
Western European States, Colonial
Powers, 1888, Prussia & Unifica-
ton of Germany, Renaissance &
Modern Italy, The World of 1921
Physical and Economic Europe,
Peoples of Europe, 1921, and the
West & Conservation. These maps
We're received about two weeks ago
and since that time have been put
to good use.
State Tournament
The annual state basketball
tournament is to be held in Reno
March 1920. Both a boys and
a girls team is to be sent from
Wlnnemucca and both teams are at
present spending every available
moment improving in basket shoot
ing and team work. in high hopes of
getting the converted cups. that be-
long to the teams capturing the
state championship.
There is keen rivalry among
members of the two squads for
places on the team, and all are so
evenly matched that it is probable
that those who are to go to the
tournament will not be chosen until
the last possible moment.
