HINCKLEY

The Hinckley high school team
again came into it's own by defeating
the all-star Fishermans club by the
score of IT to 9. The Fisherman's
club was composed of recent alumni
of the school and was reputed to be
the cream of previous school teams.
Both teams were eager for a win. So
much so that the close guarding of
the first session netted but one field
goal and that for the high school.
In the second half the alumni came
back strong with two field goals in
quick succession, making the score
Z to 4, but three field goals by the
high school soon put them in the
lead which was never overcome. Bob
bic Stanchfield was the outstanding
player on he high school squad, while
Johnnie Hlavek was the main stay
for the alumni.
On Friday the high school team will
be primed for its fourth consecutive
win when it meets the fast Moose
Lake quint on the local floor.
On Thursday, January 10th, Seth
Wood who is reputed to be one of
Americas most inspirational cartoon
lists, will deliver his educational
chalk-talk at 100 p. m. to the student
body of the high school. Mr.. Wood
is a prophet. His illustrated address
is not alone artistic and full of pep,
instructive and entertaining, but it
gives real education in a delectable
form. This is an opportunity for par
ents to see something worth while
and incidentally to visit school.
On January IA, Is, and 16, the
