YOUNG DEER
ADOPTED HOME

While transacting business in
Sank Centre Friday, Emil Nuh-
ring, of Grove Lake, told of an
unusual incident which occurred
at his home recently. During
the summer young deer, pre-
sumably a spring calf, had been
roaming about the neighborhood
with horses and cattle. Recently
the deer came to Em,ps place,
entered the barn with the hors-
es and prepared to enjoy the
winter as Emil's guest. The an
imal Is very tame and seems to
be contented with its new sur
roundings, eating hay and ensil-
age as though 1t were at home.
The Nuhring place has become
very popular. for since the news
spread about the community
grownups and children have
called to see the new addition,
and the barnyard has become q
popular spot for newspapermen
and photographers representing
the city dailies. It Is said that
several deer had been seen in
that community the past sum-
mer.

self, DR.. r. B. Kettlewell, represent
ing the medical men of the city,
perhaps struck more closely at the
keynote of the meeting. Searching
for the reason for this gathering
the Doctor said that the usual rea-
sons for such meetings he had
discarded. They had a team with a
fair record, but there had been
better ones. He chose the word
fight" as most closely denoting
the reason for honoring the '36
squad with this first banquet. Say
ing that he had seen several of the
games that spirit of fight had i'm
pressed him.
AS president of the school board,
DR.. H. F. Henneman looked at
football from an educators view
point. "The day of the long-haired
intellectual is over" said DR.. Hen
ncman, more and more we are
recognizing football and athletics
as a definite contribution toward
the new liberal education" Foot
ball, he stated further, breeds OPP
timism, quality generally needed
today. AS treasurer Of the Board,
John Hansen, interspersing a few
quips at the squad members, spoke
for the board in an endorsement Of
the night football project. Mr..
Hansen stated that the school
could count on the backing of the
Board on this project and their at
tendance at the games.

Of the squad members Coach Gene
Harvey detoured slightly from the
routine coach's speech, and basing
his talk on the revelation by doc

personality is acquired, linked his
topic with personality. The COM

high school athletics Is great
boon to the acquisition of personal
