Basket Ball Assembly

Tuesday morning for opening ex-
ercises the basket ball team gave re-
port of the Glendive-Wibaux trip
taken last Friday and Saturday.
Dale Williamson, captain of the team,
and Mr. Bair, the coach, were the
only ones given the privilege of
speaking. They both told interest
ing incidents about the other men on
the team but refrained from saying
much about themselves. Everyone
lin school fears that our team will be
broken up because, Harold Czoernig,
Dale Williamson, and Mr.. Bair hope
to go to Wibaux, and Verchel Olson,
Lloyd Decker and Francis Curtiss are
going to take the next train to Ismay.
The Junior and Senior English
classes have been combined on Mon
days and Tuesdays so they could
Debate together. So far they have
been learning how to stand and
breathe correctly.
This week several students are on
the sick list. Among those who have
Verchel Olson, Harold Czoernig and

The Circle High School basketball
team expresses its sincere apprecia-

County Officials Expect to Start Nov
ing Into Fine New Home Next
Week.

Contractor Albert Langley is a
very busy man these days putting the
finishing touches to the McCone
County court house basement, which
is to be used for court house pur-
at least until the county can afford to
build on another story or two.
A visit to the court house basement
now will be a surprise to those who
have not been there for some time.
All the floors have been laid and var
nished, windows and doors in place,
an Arcola heating system installed,
and this week the light plant has
has been moved over and installed,
so it's electric lighted.
The court house basement will
have adequate Office quarters for all
of the county officers, with exception
of sheriff who has fine office at
the Jail building. The offices are all
well lighted, and while some perhaps
will be little crowded, there is suf-
ficient room to get along nicely in
most of them.
Next week is designated as moving
week for the county officers, and 1t
will indeed be most welcome to all of
them. as the new quarters will be
pretty nifty place compared with the
present shack which has served as
court house since the creation of the
county, nearly five years ago.
Contractor Langley has done nice
piece of work in the construction of
this building. He has earned his
money and done good job.
The building of the court house
basement was good stroke of busi-
ness by the board of county commits
sioners and will prove to be money
well spent. First of all it eliminates
paying any more rent, which in itself
is nice saving of over $4,000 a
month, besides the new basement
which is built of concrete, is fire
proof, and thus the county records
will always be protected.

Where The Team is Weak--The Heart

Where The Team is Weak--The Heart
Notice: The basket ball team
will not go to Wibaux any more this
season This is due to the fact that
Mr. Bair and Dale looked too deeply
into the eyes of two of the Wibaux
high school girls and could hardly be
persuaded to return to Glendive in
the morning. They were finally per-
suaded to leave by our telling them
that there were pertier girls in Glen
dive They seem to have been dis
appointed and are now planning to
go back to Wibaux and start girls
team with Mr.. Bair as manager and
Dale as coach This WIS rather un-
fair it seems, as we were ordered to
bed early, while Dale and Mr.. Balr
by virtue of being captain and coach
respectively could stay out as long
as they pleased.
Verchel says that there are some
pretty girls in Wibaux but still,
There's no place like Ismay'.
Wilson says that the Circle girls
have them all beat. We think how
ever. that girls is meant to he sing
ular in this case.
