Long Prairie Scouts Defeated

Long Prairie Scouts Defeated
Friday night the Long Prairie
Scouts were defeated by the Sank
Centre Scouts to 18. Every man
on the Sank Centre team played an
excellent game. Taking into consid-
Grafton that Long Prairie defeated
Osakis to 9, and that Osakis de-
feated Alexandria Z to 10, the Sank
Centre Scouts can feel justly elated.
The game was fast one. Jim O'Gara,
AL lilies, Don Arneson, Ed Peterson
and Bob Schoenhoff were the chief
Sank Centre players. Very little
substituting was done in THE s. c..
team, as Mr.. Oleson was not here to
take charge and make the changes.
Governor Christianson Speaks to
| Assembly
Friday afternoon THE Junior and
Senior High pupils had the privilege
of hearing short address by Cover
nor Christensen, one of the speakers
for the Editors convention. He spoke
in most interesting fashion upon the
advantages of the present public
school system. The students feel that
they are indeed fortunate in hearing
so prominent a Minnesota Statesman.

Items for the Week
| The girls in the Sophomore sewing
class, having painted the sewing room
have commenced on the cooking de-
partment. The girls are very en-
thusiastic about the painting project.
Tt might be well to warn their moth
ers to beware, as they are likely to
commence at home.
Miss Eich spent the week end in
the cities.
The Sank Centre team was defeat
ed by the Long Prairie High team
Friday night. Despite Sank Centres
defeat the game was a good one in
that it was fast and closely matched
1t seemed Ito the Sank Centrites that
Long Prairie had uncanny luck in
slipping the ball into the basket by
long distance shots. The score was
20 to IL.
All Historical essays that were good
enough to be recopied must be in
on Thursday. A rush on the type
writers is the inevetable result.
For the third time the school notes
will contain the remarkable informa-
tion that the Sophomores are going
to have a party. This long promised
party will take place Saturday night.
Mr.. Otis refereed a game at Park
ers Prairie Monday night.
Kenneth Robinson received an in
teresting letter from France.
The letter was sent by a seventeen
year old boy attending college in

Andre has never read "Main Street"
The games in France according to
Andre are great deal like those
here. They indulge in Nah Jong,
Ping Pong, and croquet; There is no
denying France is wild country with
such violent games. However Andre
added that they play foot ball, which
will with out doubt raise our opinion
Of French sports.
Old Cheer Leader Back on the Job
Friday afternoon Stuart White
head our unanimously elected cheer
leader for this year was back on the
job. The yelling from the point of
volume excelled anything ever heard
in the Senior High assembly before.
At the game that night the team was
backed with real Sank Centre spirit.
Stuart made spectacular cheer lead
er dressed entirely in white. With
practically no leadership the singing

The weynote of his speech was that

to make living but how to live.
Mr.. Falk strongly emphasized the
