team consisting of Harland Goring,
Clarence Sheen, Lars Christensen,
Bernard YOungquist, and Bernard
Laukanen, will debate at Askov and
Rush City this week. Our affirmative
team consisting of Raphael Dunaski,
Albert Nelson, and Edna Waisenen

February 2 at 2 p. m. and the North
Branch team debates us here at 8 p.
m. Wednesday, Feb. 8. You should
try to hear one of these debates.
The grade operettas "Out at Uncle
Johns" and molly be Jolly" were
presented Wednesday.
The local declamatory contests will
be held soon, and a Home Talent
Lyceum" is being planned for the
last part of February. Watch for
dates and particulars. The high
school operetta will be presented in
March, after the basketball season is
over.
Friday, Feb. 3, we expect to have
the biggest basketball date in the
history of the school. The strong
Sandstone boys teams will be here,
supported, we understand, by their
band and fine bunch of rooters. The
Pine City girls team (Which is un-
defeated) will also be here on that
date, to try to stop our girls from
obtaining mythical championship or
two. The dope indicates that the Pine
City and the Willow River girls
teams are about as nearly equal as
possible. The Willow girls have won
s, tied 1, and lost 1 this season and
have scored total of 296 to our op-

school girls recently defeated Finlay-
Hinckley % to 9. Pine City girls

games should be very close. The first
game will start at 1880 p. m. sharp,
as there are three scheduled games
for the evening.
