Burton School Notes
Burton Vashon

III Nh'Nh AZ WI pittyclS uiu tllcif
part, Burton came out on the bet
ter end Of 1915 score last Fri
lay in the Burton gym. Consid-
crlng the fine points of the game
Il was an aggressive battle. Wash.
on made one more basket from
he floor than Burton, but Burton
converted six out of ten fouls
while Vashon was making but
bwo out of ten. Taken all in all,
in ten game series. Burton should
win five games and Vashon five.
There is much to be commended
in the craftsmanship of the Wash
on players. Good rivals make
good games.
This makes Burton the winner
Of their first league game and
Burtonites hope the boys "tear"
the rest of the way. Not that the
score is the biggest thing III he
game but it is pleasant to win once
IN a while. 1t should make being
defeated easier. Does it always?
We wish there was some way Of
publishing the good things that
have been said about the Burton
boys by their opponents. These
boys have made an argument in
favor of interscholastic athletics.
Last Wednesday we received
about sixty new booys in the Bur-
ton Hi school library. The libra
rians didn't get much studying
done, for the library was full all
afternoon with students looking
thru the books. The Spanish class
received new books, also. which
is the third book they have had
This year and are much easier than
their last books. The tipping class
es also received new books.
Dick Bennatts, who has been ex
tending his Christmas vacation on
recount of illness, is back at school
md ready for work.
The seniors as well as the boys
basketball team are mourning the
loss of Joe Hofmeister. Joe was
the jumping center and also Star
Of the basketball team. Joe has
left no word as to what he is going
to do in the future, and we can
only wish him the best of success.
Mr.. Parkes gave us a talk on
Monday morning, concerning our
grades. 1t appears that we have
Mt been doing as we should. Well
students it is certainly true that
the teachers know what we have
been doing and maybe we better
get in and do a little more study
ing. 1t wont hurt any of us, that
is certain and it will raise our
grades. Let's see if more students
can't make the honor roll from
now on.
The Freshmen have been dis
cussing their pennant. Several
color combinations have been sug-
gested, but a definite decision has
not been made. They expect to
decide Immediately and send for
the pennant which they will add
to the others before the close of
school. Hurrah for the Freshmen
they show speed. The Freshmen
class last year did not get their
pennant until school opened this
year.
Two of the Tipping II students
have received certificates for a
$50 word award test" Those re-
ceiving the certificates were Dor
othy Lewis and Laura Smith.
The girls basketball team from

perior in all stages Of the game.
