The headquarters company basket ball team found itself up against some real opposition in it's game Satul day evening. The Willimantic West Ends furnished all the competition expected and some more for good measure. and were able to come out on the long end of forty to twelve score After the first period Putnam never had a chance
 White who played forward and later center for the visitors was a whole team in himself. He was bulwark on defense, often dribbled the length of the floor to shoot the goal himself or feed the ball to Sweet, the other forward.

Delightful Social Affair In Masonic
Lodge Rooms. Mrs. Ethel NJ.
Christensen Installs

The installation ceremonies of Sun
set Chapter o. E. S. we're largely at
tended by members and guests in the
Masonic Lodge rooms last Friday
evening. Always a beautiful setting
for ceremonials of a similar nature,
the rooms were unusually lovely with
flowers on this occasion. The retir-
ing and incoming. officers were charm
ing in white gowns and the exercises
were carried out in a dignified man
ner. After an intricate drill by the
officers, the retiring worthy matron,
Mrs. Jessie D. Plummer, graciously
welcomed the members and guests
and called for the marshall to as
semble the 1928 officers. She then
addressed them and from basket OF
flowers presented each with a bouquet
or boutonnier emblematical of their
Office in the chapter.
The installing officer was Mrs.
Ethel NJ Christensen, a past worthy
matron, who performed her duties in
an exceptionally clever and charm
ing manner. She was ably assisted
by Mrs. Harriet l.. Parker as mar
shall and Mrs. Mildred C. Lewis as
chaplain. At the conclusion of these
ceremonies Past Patron Frank W.
Buchanan presented Mrs. Plummer
with a past matron's jewel in very
happy manner in behalf of the mem
bers of the chapter and Miss Alice 4.
Goodrich, the newly installed worthy
matron, presented Mrs. Plummer in
behalf of the 1923 officers, with a
ring. Mrs. Plummer responded with
much gratitude and later presented
Mrs. Christensen with a basket of
flowers and Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Par
ker with bouquets of cut flowers. Mrs.
Christensen addressed the chapter in
appreciation of her gift and took oc-
casion to speak briefly on co-opera-
ton between members and officers.
The new officers are: Worthy ma
iron, Miss Alice T. Goodrich; worthy
patron Edwin p. Whiting; associate
matron, Mrs. Ethel l.. Moore; secre-
tary, Miss Edith NJ. Gledhill; treas
urer, Mrs. Birdena F. Conant; chap
lain, Mrs. Lena e. Wentworth; con-
ductress, Mrs. Eva w. Mcguire; as
sociate conductress, Mrs. Harriet L..
Parker; Adah, Mrs. Ethel NJ. Chris
Jensen; Ruth Mrs Lou K. Games:

tina, Mrs. Lena NJ. Dyer; Electa, Mrs.
Ina G. Hill; warder, Mrs. Adelaide
l.. Whiting; marshal, Miss Virginia
B. Stinchfield; sentinel, Albert F.
Dyer.
The affair was closed with a social
hour in the banquet and club rooms.
Harlequin ices, waters. mints and nuts
were served, the tables being attrac-
lively arranged, buffet style, and be-
decl1ed with cut flowers. The servers
were members of a large committee
of which Mr.. and Mrs. A. r. Jewett
were chairmen.

Snappy Games OF Basket Ball

The old saying Practice makes

Saturday evening when the girls of
s. Fl. S. defeated the BPW Club here
by a score of 1914. Although nearly
all of the players on the BPW team
had played during their four years in
high school the present s. Fl. s. quin-

The second treat of the evening
was introduced to the waiting crowd.
This was basket ball game between
Waterville Express of Colby College
and the local X. of c. The last
meeting of these two teams was one
that will not easily be forgotten by
the sport loving fans of Skowhegan.
On that occasion Watervlle was vic
torius, winning by the hairs-breath
lead of one point. Saturday evening
the X of c. were out to even up
scores and the majority of those who
witnessed the first game turned out to
see this one. realizing that it would
be real battle and justly earned who
ever won. They were not disappoint-
ed as the game was one of the fastest
and best games ever staged on the To-
cal floor From every angle came
sharp, fast play and the crowd was
kept on the pinnacle of expectancy
and suspense. Cheering madly one
moment and holding their breath the
next as the battle waged up and down
the hall in plays almost too fast for
the eye to follow. The breaks of the
game however once more went to the
visiting team and they once more
emerged victorious with just a single
basket in the lead. The score 1921.
This was enough to satisfy all pres
ent and everyone was hearty in con-
graduating the local X of c. team
for their splendid display Of basket
ball ability. Those who have not yet
witnessed this team in action should
do so at the first opportunity. Then
on top of these two features came the
music and dance. The music was
furnished by the Venetian Melody
Boys These boys were booked to
play in Grange Hall but the manager
of the local X of c. secured their
services in conjunction with the bas-
ket ball games in order that the pa
irons would have one more pleasure
added to the evenings list. At 11.4g
the dance ended and also ended an
evening replete with thrills, suspense
and unbounded enjoyment and Local
neople arc eagerly looking forward to
Ethe next game to be played by the
local X. of C's. who are fast making a
name for themselves in the hearts OF
the lovers of clean, gentlemanly sport

Blackwell School Notes

Friends are inquir.1g where our
items are. We are right here with
an excellent record for the month OF
January. With an enrolment OF
twenty-one we have had only two alb
sent marks and four tardy marks Tor
the month.
BY special work our eighth grade
has grown to ten in number OF when
we are very proud. By class vote
Beulah Perkins and Barbara Hender-
son have done the best work in mu-
sic for the month. We were quite
pleased to have our music teacher,
Miss Craig, compliment us last Tues
day on the lessons prepared for this
month.
Helen Ketehum and Beulah Perkins
were voted the best grammar pupils
for the month, but our teacher, Mrs.
Groves, says she thinks the whole
class deserves special praise.
In history we have about six ban
ner pupils but we think perhaps Carl
Adams and Merle Pray are the best.
Grade eighth are working on a BIZ
BILE essay. the best in the class to
be sent to our State Superintendent
when completed.
In arithmetic and grade eight. Hell
en- Ketchum was voted best for the
month by'a vote of 7 to 3. In grade
seven. Carl Mantor is considered our
best this month. In grade six there
Is close tie between Clyde Harding
and Wilbur Richards and in grade five
this vote was passed to the teacher
Lester Dunlap is the smartest. Elsie
Curtis deserves special credit on her
neat papers.
We have held our League meetings
twice this month, electing new OFF,
GERS the first of the month and giving
an entertainment Miss White and
her pupils were our guests that day.
Grades one and two preseated the
primary playlet, 1.-THE Hungry Kit
ten In most pleasing way. We
are now looking forward to our next
meeting to be held February 8.
We have organized bad Speech
Club" When we pupils hear any
one among us say incorrect words
we exhibit their names under the
Honor Members of B. S. Club" Every
Friday afternoon after recess each
member is initiated by having to
speak or sing. We think this club
has helped very much because now
we always notice all mistakes. Any
one who corrects his mistake immedi-
ately is not punished.
Helen Ketchum and Cyr Thibodeau
Usually keep their names off the board
the longest and for everybody, "ain't"
is the worst stumbling block.

ALL OUT OF SORTS1
So Was This Skowhegan Woman Who
Tells Her Experience.

All TOO often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy spells
and that tired, depressed feeling.
Thousands have found new health and
strength by helping the weakened
kidneys with Doan's Pills-a stimulant
diuretic. This Skowhegan case is one
of many:
Mrs. Joe Cheney, So Court St., says
Every morning | would wake up
with a dull ache across my back and
could hardly get about. | had pains
In the back Of my head, too, and my
kidneys were in bad shape and AT
times | had no control over them. ]
