TRACK MEETS
TWO EVENTS

The PlentywoOd track team will
take part in two or more Meets
during the next few weeks. The
District Meet will be held in Out
look this Saturday, April 25. The
next Saturday, May 2 will be the
day for the Big a Meet to be held
as in former years, at Culbertson.
This is the most important of the
Meets that the local team will
have chance to take part in. The
other Meets considered are to be
held at Crosby and Williston. A
few selected members of the track
team may have a chance to take
part in the Great Falls and Uni
versity Meets. Horseshoe and kit
tenbau are getting much attention
from the boys not out for track.
The girls are becoming interested
in the latter game which can well
be played by both girls and boys
from the high school down through
the lower grades. A program of
recreational activities which will
include both girls and boys, and
which will carry over to the years
beyond high school, is gradually
being built up. It is hoped that as
interest increases and facilities
are secured, practically every pupil
in the school will find his place in
sports and recreational activity.
