Melrose Swamps Sank
Centre Tuesday Night
Local High School Basket Ball
Team Completely Outclassed in
Homecoming Game

The Homecoming basketball
game at the Junior High Auditor
ium Tuesday evening between
Sank Centre and Melrose High
School teams was Homecoming
for the visitors.
1t was simply team of veterans
of good size who knew what to
do with basketball when any one
of them had it in their hands
against team much smaller in
size, very green in experience. II
they had any teamwork up their
basketball sleeves they were not
able to display it Tuesday evening
as they were completely covered al
all times.
There isn't any alibis for the
loss of Tuesday evenings game
The best team won. The difference
in the score % to z, is a pretty fail
indication of the comparativ.
strength of the two teams.
Norbert Frank is the only mar
on the Sank Centre squad who
ever played basket ball before thi:
season. He was e. sub on the 1925
team.
The Melrose team should go fal
in the district This year. The,
have the size; they have the ex
perience; they are alert and TAX,
advantage of every break; the,
play hard, clean game.
The crowd which witnessed Tues
day evenings game was a dandy
The Boys band furnished snapp,
music and the cheer leaders TO
both teams were on their toes.
Sank Centre and Melrose ar
traditional rivals. Time wa
when these teams met Their
"rough-housing' and the crowd
sometimes imbibed the spirit of tn
players. Last evenings game wa
a real sporting event, even
Sank Centre was swamped. TIL
refereing was satisfactory; tn,
craftsmanship of both factions wa
fine. The only Ely in the oint
ment was that the game arranged
! especially for the edifcation O
the old Grads of Sank Centre wa
the inability of the Sank Centr,
team to make matters really hare
for the visitors.
There will be other years anc
other gatherings of the Alumni. II
another year, perhaps, conditions
from basketball standpoint, will
improve.
The following is the detailed

to many in the audience. Most of
them and heard of the organiza-

tunity to hear them.
The BANQUET
Two hundred and fifty guests sat
down to splendid banquet served
by the Woman's Auxiliary of Rob
ert Swift Post, of the American
Legion, at the Sank Centre Arm
DRY very shortly after six o'clock
Tuesday evening.
The large drill hall was very
prettiiy decorated in Holiday col
ors with a large gaily lighted
Christmas tree in the centre of the
room as the base of the decora-
tons.
Turkey, with all it's trimmings
was served after the fruit salad
had been disposed of. Girl students
from the public school did the
serving daintily and promptly. The
dessert was brick ice cream and
assorted cake.
During the meal Hak Kastner's
orchestra furnished splendid mus.
ic.
Following the close of the meal
Supt. H. A. Falk officiated as the
POSTMASTER. He first called the
Alumni by years starting with
1881. J. F. Cooper, president of the
school board, was the only one re.
spending to this class. Nearly ev.
cry year Intervening between
1881 and the Class of 1929 was
represented by one or more mem.
bers. In some instances, Mr.. Fall,
asked the members to give their
class notices. When they were
given in Latin, he fortunately had
Latin student near him who
could translate them into every
day language and he was saved
from an embarrassing moment.
Ben Van Camp, of st. Paul, g
graduate of one of the classes
way back yonder", was intro
duced and gave several demonstra,
tions of clever legerdemain. The
impression of the Herald editor
was that Ben would be a good guy
to keep away from in the grea,
American game where one draws
three cards or so.
