THE LINCOLN ESSAY
CONTEST

We believe that the students u
the high schools of America are ir
every day more fortunate than any
other young people in the world to-
day. Fine buildings and expensive
equipment, highly trained teachers
who devote their lives to the instruc-
ton of youth, are among our reasons
for such belief.
To all these advantages has been
added in the past few years the Lin
coin Essay Acontest, sponsored by the
Illinois Watch company, of Spring
field, Illinois, the old home of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Certainly no young person can
study the life of the great patriot
without learning valuable lessons of
patriotism; and no one can avole
having higher ideals of personal hon
or after reading the history of our
martyred president.
His patience, kindness and hon
esty, both in private life and as pres
ident during the nations most criti-
cal period, must deeply impress each
student who gathers material for an
essay on Lincoln.
The success of the Lincoln Essay
contest depends upon the co-opera-
ton of the members of the hIgn
school. |
This year let us try and have many
more contestants than ever before
and do our best to make the Lincoln
Essay contest permanent feature
of the school.-R. L.

At the ninth session Of the Senior

first measure that was taken into
discussion was that of the diplomas

A motion was made and passed
that we procure the diplomas of the
following description: "The most
beautiful diploma ever made" Size

The cover, which comes in the class
colors, is made of velvet finished
sheepskin, lined with fine silk of
contrasting color. The diploma con-
tains all class data, such as class
flower, color, motto and roll. The
majority of the class seemed to think
that after working hard O. for four
years to get diploma it is crime
to have to pay for it. 1t was lucky
thing that Frank was not there to
start some sort of an uprising.

RETURN FROM TRIP
BLUE AND GOLD" MEETS DE-
FEAT AT BIG TIMBER
AND COLUMBUS

The trip which the Carbon High
basketeers took last weekend to Bic
i Timber and Columbus was very un-
successful as far as victories were
concerned, but was very successful
in giving the Carbon tossers some
experience they lacked Oscar Muir
do, forward and captain of the team,
was confined to his bed on account
of the flu.
At Big Timber, where the team
played last, Thursday night, both
teams played a very stressed defense
AS no long shooting was available,
the five-man defense was worked
very practically. In the first quarter
the lead see-sawed back and forth,
both teams trying to take the most
possible advantage of the others
misplays. The half ended 1912.
The opening of the second half
found both teams struggling for the
lead, but after several minutes Big
Timber intercepted several Red
Lodge passes, which enabled them
to hold the lead throughout the re-
mainder of the game. The game end
ed by a score of 1924 in favor of
Big Timber.
Rees was high-point man of the
game, with IA points, most of his
points having been made from very
difficult positions in the CORNERS.
Martin, high-point man for Red
Lodge with II points, played very
game, while Gerondale
handled Andrews in very impress
sing fashion. Mattila and Blazina
played a fair game lat guard, while
Hannula filled Murdo's shoes in ex-
cellent manner.
On Friday night the Red Lodge
team journeyed to Columbus where
they received another defeat. Red
Lodge registered the first points of
-he game but throughout the remain
der OF the half were unable to regis
-er from the field or gift line. Col

FRESHMEN WIN TWO
SUCCESSIVE VICTORIES

The third and most recent Fresh
man-Sophomore clash gave tn efresh-
men the victory by 14-13 score.
An outline of the game cannot be
given, but it was very fast and the
score was close throughout the game,
which was played as preliminary
at the Big Timber Carbon tussle.
A few weeks ago THE freshmen
team met the Roolevelt school team
and gave them a good trouncing.
1t will be interesting to watch the
freshman games in the future as the
