This last week witnessed the be-
ginning of two more school activ-
tiles for this year. Friday night our
basketball team went to st. Cloud
to play the first game of the sea-
son. On Saturday night the first OF
the school dances was held in the
Junior High gymnasium.
The basketball season being open
now we must all support the team;
go to the games and cheer the boys
to victory. The school spirit has
improved quite q Lot and quite 9
number Of people have stated that
they would be interested in a def.
mite cheering section. The group
will sit together in a block forma-
tion and by means of maroon and
white cards spell out the names oil
Sank Centre and the opposing
teams. A number have already
signed up and it is hoped that more
will see the cheer leaders and do
so soon.
Quite a number turned out for
the school dance Saturday night
Mr.. Kohls orchestra proved to be
very good and every one had a
good time. These dances will be
held as long as the students show
enough interest in them. They will
be held once a month or If enough
people are interested and if the or
chestra Is able, they will be held
more often.
SPORTS
The basketball season at Sank
Centre Is now officially open. With
q preseason practice game, and an
opening official game under their
belts the high school team now Is
getting down TO serious work con-
templating the hard and long
schedule of games which are to fol
low. More than eight games will be
played in the local auditorium, the
first on Friday Of this week when
the first team meets Swanville and
the second team meets Willard. The
Cheer leaders have been busy lin
ing up several new yells and work
ing out possible organized cheer
ing section which win afford spec
tators with more than just an oc-
casional yell or two. The three
cheer leaders: Billy Kaufman,
Rose Minette, and Lillian Conkey
have been at this job for the past
two years. They win appreciate 1t
greatly If every Sank Centre sup
porter would turn out for the home
games and give their whole-hearted
cooperation by lusty yells. (The
cheer leaders have brand new uni
forms this year,.
Here's the high school basketball
team: short but fast, fairly smooth
ball handlers, but very poor shots.
Continually the forwards and the
guards are driving IN to the bask-
ct but are not connecting for the
necessary points. For this part of
the country the material which
makes up the basketball squad Is
as good as can be expected. Most
Of the regular players are Juniors.
They all have been playing In
every sport at the school ever since
they were in the grades. All Of them
are better than average ball hand
lers. They know each other and
each others whims and fancies as
far as playing is concerned. BY the
way, Brandon has the same type OF
team this year. The first five men
on the squad have been playing on
the first team since their freshman
year. Brandon Is small school but
always turns out good teams. We
meet them twice during the sea-
con.
