Chapel on Monday morning was
the most exciting and thrilling of the
year. The basket ball girls were aw-
arded' small basket balls of silver for
their excellent basket ball record for
this year. Every member received
silver ball with 1924 engraved upon
it except Carrie Wikerson who has
been captain since her Freshman wear.
Carries bal was solid gold with
Captain" engraved upon it with 1921
"a just beneath it.
Mr.. Smith made an especially hum
orous speech. EVERYBODY laughed and
Jokedt Mr.. Smith told several Jokes
on Mr.. Bennett, our superintendent,
who is also a Kiwanian Mr. Petty
of the Kiwanis Club was the one who
first suggested the giving of the bas-
ket balls. Mr.. Fits made short
speech too, in which he threw back at
Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Smith delivered the
basket balls to the girls team with a
word of praise and thanks for her
special work Miss Fluker the girls
coach, was presented with gold bas-
ket ball like the captains on which
was engraved coach" Just beneath
that 1924"
Miss Fluker received a charming
pin which came from the team itself
las surprise. The team wished to
show Miss Fluker how much they
really appreciated her efforts in their
training. When Miss Fluker could
not be present Mr.. Fits was always
ready to fill her place to the best of
his ability. In thanking Mr.. Fits for
this Carrie Wilkerson presented him
with pair of Cuff links.
In the speech Mr.. Fits thanked the
girls team for the gift and highly
praised them. Mr.. Fits remembered
Wadly kirkland, Captain of the boys
team, with gift. Mr.. Petty then told
us that the Kiwanis Club had given
$50 worth of baseball equipment to
the boys and also track apparatus.
This was greeted by loud applause.
At 9:25 Mr. Tinsley struck up a
lively march and chapel ended for
! Monday morning.
We all regret that Miss F1uker is
forced to be absent on account of ser
iousness illness. Her classes are being
met by Mr.. Mathis a former member
of our faculty.
Physical training has been changed
to military drills which we all enjoy
taking with the boys twice a week.
All the boys interested in base bali
met at the ball park Saturday for the
purpose of organizing a team.
Our Glee Club of which we are all
proud, has been singing at the Clubs

School Title

The high school football cham
pionship may be decided tomorrow
when Western and Technical meet
in the Central stadium. Tech is
cutting quite a figure in the local
high school ranks, having mauled
consecutively Eastern and Central.
Tech has scored less points than
Western, but that doesn't mean
anything, since the team each team
has faced have not been the same.
Tech defeated Eastern 10 to 0 and
Central IL to 0.
Western met and defeated Bust
ness 81 to 0 and Eastern IL to 8.
In this last game the Rad and
White eleven was outplayed.
One thing which will aid West
ern's chances materially is the re-
turn to the lineup of regulars who
up to this game have been ineli-
gible. Coach Ahern has been bask-
ing under his lucky star since he
did not, have. to play either Central
or Tech with any regulars out of
the game.
A victory for Tech will. practic-
ally assure the Manual Trainers of
the championship. Business, the
only team which Tech has to play
after Western, cannot be counted
on to furnish stiff competition.

getting eleven men on the field at
