Lovelock rip
Elmer Lyons, Editor

representatives of Humboldt County
Hi left last last Saturday on No. 10
to play scheduled games with the
Pershing County High School. We
arrived at about p. m. Some of
the boys were given rooms at
hotels, but the majority of both
teams were accommodated at pri-
vate homes. The girls game began
at about $50. Our girls were
hampered greatly by the small di-
mansions of the court. The division
lines were so close together that
they were unable to keep from step
ping over them. 1t was a fast
game, Lovelock guarding very close,
and giving the girls very little
chance to shoot. Though our team
worked their hardest they were I'M
able to out-score their opponents
and the game ended with score
of 1870 in favor of Lovelock. A
few minutes later the boys game
was called. They too, were unused
to such a small siezed court, but in
spite of this played very salts
factory game, very few fouls being
called on our boys. At the end of
the first half the score stood 1919,
with Lovelock in the lead. During
the second half we came back
strong, but were unable to get
ahead, the game ending Lovelock
taking the long end of 27-33
score. The game was very fast,
though Winnemucca was unable to
use her usual form of defense on
any of the plays which have been
developed in the last few weeks.
Lovelock scored mostly on long
shots, many of which were made
from the center of the court.
Those went on the boys team
were: Legarza, c. Brown, for
wards; Defenbaugh, center; Lyon
Organ, guards; Gartiez, Holloway
substitutes, while the girls team
consisted of: Theresa Pasquale<
Francis Otis, forwards; Marguerite
Otis, center; Elsie Summerfield
side-center; Bertha Pearce, Eva
Menicucci, guards; Frances Stuart
Gertrude Washburn, Ida Lorentz
Florence O'Brien, substitutes.
After the game a dance was
given in the gym which was en-
joyed by all. We were invited to
attend dinner given Sunday by
the domestic science class. Dur
ing the dinner each individual was
called upon to give little speech.
These were greatly applauded by
all. Afterwards we all made ready
for our departure, then spent the
time at small soft drink parlor,
name unkonwn to We editor). At
$50 a large crowd gathered at
the train to give US send-off, yells
were exchanged and as the train
pulled out, regret was expressed
by all, of the necessity of leaving
so soon.
We were shown a right royal time
while We were in Lovelock and
aside from the scores, have nothing
to feel bad about. Aside from sew
eral innocent escapades, there was
no disorder, and we all succeeded
in having a lot of clean fun. The
ride back was uneventful, though
snappy, as every one was in a good
humor and had to let off little
surplus energy. So, Lovelock, we
bid you farewell. until Tournament
time when it is hoped we may meet
you again and we now thank you
for the good treatment we received
while there.

Lucille Ingram returned to school
after several days absence due to
illness.
We hear that Eileen Sutton had a
good time at Lovelock. She sub
stantiated this rumor when the
tardy bell rang Monday morning
and we were not honored with her
presence.
A little late she came tripping
gaily into the office but, with a sad
der look on her countenance, soon
came out with a bit of red paper
in her hand that We know only too
well the meaning thereof.
Florence Sears, Mabel Connors,
May Leonard, Florence Rutherford,
and Esther Brown, all members of
the freshman class, are again in our
midst after several days illness.
Joe Legarza is also ill, and at
the present time has not returned to
school.
May Livingstone, one of our
Senior girls, has returned to school
after an illness of about a week.
Lovelock. SO it seems, has it at
fractions for the boys, as well as
the girls. When it came time to
leave there and we were all assem-
bled at the depot, we began looking
over the crowd and soon discovred
that Gerald Brown was missing.
The train pulled out and to our
CONSERVATION, no Gerald. Unable
to solve the mystery, we remained
in a state of wonder, until Monday
afternoon when in he stepped. and
explained CD matters. Guess he
just couldn't bear to leave here.
That's all right, Jerry, we know
how it is ourselves.
The editor of the annual has
requested that all material for that
publication be turned in as soon
as possible.
The seniors have selected their
announcements and personal cards.
The secretary is taking the orders
as fast as possible and hopes to
get the order off by the end of the
week.
Jim, in assembly: Hey, Miss
Mcmillan, that General Reference
must have been an important guy,
