The question for the state debate
league is-ResOlved: "That at least
one-half of all revenue for state and
local purposes should be derived from
sources other than tangible property"
The social problems class and English
III class are working on this question
and will give some preliminary de-
bates in the assembly soon.
Approximately 40 high school stud
ents have gone out for declamatory
work. They are busy choosing their
humorous, dramatic and oratorical Sc
lections.
In the race for the sale of season
basketball tickets, the junior. class is
in the lead with an average of $40.
The freshmen have second place with
90 2-3%. The senior class has 1870,
and the sophomores, 16 2-3%.
Friday morning the seniors gave a
| short program as an entertainment at
our assembly meeting. Kermit Lund-
! gren. senior class president, acted as
the chairman. Blanche Whiting gave
school notes and jokes and Miss b.

equally we'll when their turn comes.

Monday evening, November 81,
the home talent lyceum course,
which is being given for the ben
eft of the school activities fund, pre-
sented its first number, 1.-The Dust
of the Earth" This four-act drama,
which portrays the difficulties of an
orphan, the loneliness of man suf-
fering from amnesia, the faithfulness
of darky servant and the genuine
enjoyment of the village newspaper,
held the interest of the audience
throughout the evening. The cast was

The football game here Armistice
day resulted in a victory for Meadow
lands, IL to 6. Shortly after the
kickoff, MeadOwlands, by a series of
clever trick plays, marched down for
touchdown. After this Willow Riv-
err held the ball almost continuously
in the Meadowlands territory. AL
though Willow had the ball on Mea-
dowlands five yard line several times,
we were able to score only one touch
down. Meadowlands scored their Sec
ond and winning touchdown on lucky
break when Samson of MeadOwlands,
intercepted lateral pass on his own
five yard line and raced the whole
length of the field unmolested. Up
to this time Willow River was
undefeated, while Meadowlands had
won four games and lost one to Deer
River. This last game closed our
football season for this year, and the
boys under Mr.. Writings volunteer
directing and coaching, have done re-
markedly we'll.
