BASKETBALL

nicely. The prospects for good team
are splendid and all that is needed is
lots of practice. We are somewhat
handicapped by our gym and also by
lack of numbers. The same boys who
are shining lights on the track and
in the classroom must also be on hand
for basketball practice and it puts
rather a hardship upon them. How
ever, they have the spirit that puts
Belfry High on the map and we are
proud of them. The boys who are
out Tor practice are: Bob Simpson,
Carl Smith, Bob Sterling, Jim Car
rington, Ralph Harrison, Charles
Hamilton, Clifton Sterling, Noel Rig
by, Sheldon Higham, Thomas Moore,
and Glen Barnum.
/ Attendance among the girls in the
Belfry High School has been almost
perfect. The following have had per-
feet attendance since the beginning
of school: Margaret Nelson, Florence
Simpson, Joan Sterling, Margaret
Jones, Ruth Hamilton, Jetta Regain,
Mildred Harrison, Elsie Toothaker,
Ruth Nelson, Jean Hubner, Sylvia
Darlington, Alma Ellis, Helen Gard,

the absences among the girls were
caused by three persons. Among the
boys, only two have not been tardy, or
absent. They are Ralph Harrison
and Charles Hamilton. 1t is true that
some of the boys were kept out in the
fall to help with the farm work. But,
as all pressing farm work has been
done, there is no excuse for keeping
boys out now. Surely their health
should be equal to that of the girls.
| urge each parent to cooperate with
the school by seeing that his children
are not absent in the future. The in
jury to. your own children is almost
irreparable. How much interest have
you in seeing the Belfry High School
a success?
A contest is being held for new
members in the Presbyterian Sunday
School. One side, called the dodge"
is chauffeured by Mrs. Bugby, and the
other, called the Chevrolet" is driven
by Miss Zachary.
Another six weeks period is nearing
its close, which means grades to most
students. | wonder what these grades
are going to be. Some good ones, of
course-and also, some poor ones.
Each person is probably wondering to
which class he belongs. I wonder, if
he would stop to think, if he would not
decide, that after all, it is up to the
one who receives the grades just what
those grades shall be. Think that
over and decide for yourself what
grades you want.
Mr.. Nelson received very inter
esting letter from Helen Harkin and

cording to grammatical and compost
ton rules. The girls are attending
the State Normal College at Dillon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dave Gard have made
their home in Bridger, Mont, at the
present. Mrs. Gard, formerly Eva
Vazanko, is a graduate Of Belfry High
School.
! Bill Holland and his limousine were
in town from Saturday until Monday
of this week. Bill doesn't need horn
on his car. He says that he put it
in the garage because he was afraid
that if anyone saw it out, they couldn't
resist the temptation to own it, and he
would be minus one perfectly good car.
Cecil Stober, former graduate Of
this high school, now teaching here,
had severe attack of tonsilitis last
week. Mrs. Ogden substituted for her.
