3 VOICE OF SCHOOLS :
Merry Christmas

/ christmas Time is here again and
out-of-town students have gone to
their homes to enjoy the vacation with
parents, brothers and sisters. For a
student attending school away from
home, the first Christmas is an i'm
portant occasion. We have about a
hundred nonresident students and we
hope they have returned home little
better than when they came to us.
We have tried to give them inspira
ton and ambition by increasing their
activities, giving them experiences
that only a school is equipped to Of
fer. They have made new acquaintance
es, they have learned a little from
books and they have made numerous
adjustments, all tending to enrich
their lives and prepare them for
larger usefulness as their progress
advances. We wish them all, as well
as the students living regularly at
home, a Merry Christmas, pleasant
vacation and Happy New Year. Fol-
lowing the vacation, we hope to see
all back with renewed vigor and en-
thusiasm.
The Platteville Normal School di-
rectory lists the following Lancaster
! people as students there this year:
Laura Anstey, Edith Becker, Marjorie
Breithaupt, Margaret Calls, Maureen
Carmody, Agnes Clark, Raymond Fo-
land, Belva Garthwaite, Florence Hay
den, Rexford Mink, Maxine Philips,
/ Leroy Schiffman. Maxine Smith.
The high school band is planning
to hold a concert soon. Rehearsals
are being held regularly and the band
| ic i,oI- oJ0 in oh under
the direction of Mr.. Silbeck. Mr.. Miles
is representing the faculty as assistant
director and manager. 1t is hoped that
the boys may have the encouragement
and support of the adults of the COM
munity as a band is a valuable asset
to the school as we'll as to the COM
munity The tournament is to be held
next summer at Virodua and is within
driving distance so that larger del
egation may enjoy the event. The
money realized on the concert will be
set aside to aid in financing the trip
with the band. Sixth place last year
q little nearer the ton this year is
| the ambition of the band.
| A contract has been entered into
with Fennimore for two games of foot
ball for next year. The first game Is
to be played at Fennimore October 10.
and at Lancaster November il, Arm1s-
ticp Day, the final game of the season
will be played The same financial
terms that have prevailed for num-
Der of years are agreed upon. For
| going to Fennimore, we get ten COL
lars: for the Armistice Day game, the
receipts are oivided-Fennimore 10
get one-third and Lancaster two
thirds. Under the same terms the
wear. but reversed, rs the ThanksglV-
ing game was played there, Lancaster
received as her share $103. The game
at Lancaster acted Sal, so the two
games provided $24400 clear money.
The change from Thanksgiving 10
Armistice Day is made for several
reasons. The fact that we will nave
the new gymnasium for basketball
next wear making it possible to take
I'D the indoor sport as soon as the
football schedule is finished, there is
no object to prolOnglng the 1ootoall
activity. Then the weather is likely TO
be better. The past two games at
Fennimore have resulted in tie scores
two wears ago-the field was sea
of midland this year frozen. Goou
football is not possible for either team
under such conditions. And as thlrd
consideration-it is expected that a
larger crowd can attend. There Will
he no Thanksgiving dinners to com
nete with. With no game on TurKeV
dow the naople of the two towns may
oniov the day ard he thankful.
