Basketball practice has started with
many boys out for the team. Mr..
Palm, the coach, has had the boys
down at the hall a few times and
they all expect to do their best to
help the team make a record. Foot
ball has taken the place of kittenball
ON the school grounds.
The last of the outdoor girls gym
nasium meetings took the form of two
weiner roasts. Katherine Judin's
kittenball team defeated Betty Halls
with final score of SO to 80. Paulina
SmithsOn's team in basketball won
the required three games out of five
over Edith's. The losers in each case
entertained the winners. After this,
girls gymnasium will be held in the
town hall Monday afternoons.
The entire school attended sacred
concert in the town hall Wednesday
morning of last week. Mr.. Hallborne
played the piano accOrdian, the guitar,
and an instrument made from IA
whiskey bottles; and Rev. Johnson
from Quamba, gave a short talk. The
entire program was enjoyed.
A movie called "a Trip Around the
World" was given in the town hall
Tuesday afternoon. A large number
| attended and found it very enjoyable.
The juniors are having play prac-
tice at 2:3O daily in the domestic
science room with Miss Williams as
director. A good play has been Sc
lected and the cast is enjoying the
work as much as the audience will
| enjoy seeing it.
Debate try outs" were held Friday
| afternoon before the assembly. The six
| first team debaters are Janet Karges,
Edward Anderson, Edith Korsch,
Ethel Slade, Katherine Judin, and
Robert Peterson. Helen Walker is
| working as alternate. Work on the
question was begun Saturday.
The students were greeted by a
change Monday morning due to the
fact that the office furniture has
been changed. AS a result there Is
much more room.
An interesting program was spon-
sored by the ninth grade Friday after
| noon: Accordion solo, Pauline Kruba;
songs, second grade girls; violin duet
| with piano accompaniment, Edith
KOrsch, Luverne Hancock, and Kath-
crime Judin; and two interesting talks
by B. J. Kelsey and Mr.. Miller.
To all appearances the assembly
desks have been growing weeds for
few days. The biology class has
been making weed booklets.
The sophomores made word pic
| ture booklets in English. If the de-
scriptions were as good as the COW
ers, there should be some good ones.
The second debate in the junior
class was given Monday on the ques-
ton, Resolved that the labor saw
| ing machinery has been a help to the
laborer" The affirmative team con-
sisted of Evelyn Brackenbury and
Alice Burman, and the negative,
Leona Wage and Alfred Swafford.
The decision was given the negative.
The eighth grade girls took manual
training Monday, and were very awk-
ward. But in time they may beat
the boys in woodcraft.
