when dollars and even pennies are put

pennies invested often return dollars and

In spite of this fact, many small con.

they do not advertise at all, alith the re-

LADIES WHO WERE BOYS

One day, for once In their lives, the sixth-grade boys became ladies. They were in a play called At the Restaurant" The boys dressed like ladies and the one girl as a man.
 The characters were: odd Sund- berg, Mrs. Etamine; Tiny Ferguson, Miss satine; Eugene Steik, Miss Foulard; Rodger Larson, Miss Beige.
 Odd wore a print dress with a blue coat trimmed in fur. Tiny a back skirt and a red blouse. Eu- gene a black and blue dress with beads on it, and Rodger a yellow house dress, a shawl, a sweater, and high heel shoes that slid all over the floor when he walked. The play was liked very much by everyone who saw it. We enjoyed it so much that we think it would be fun to have more like it.

OUR SOAP CIRCUS

All the children in the sixth grade room are helping make cir GUS We have carved all our animals out of soap. Some of us made pop corn. lemonade. hot dogs and ticket stands.
 One of the children made a tick ct stand and wrote "5Oc to see the circus" Another wrote a sign which said, Come one, come all. Free Cir cus." So we had to change them be- cause one contradicted the other.
 We have also made circus rings, cages. banners. and advertisements. After we are through making every thing, we are going to sprinkle the table with sawdust and arrange our circus on it. We all enjoy doing this work very much.

KETCHIKAN WRANGELL

The Wrangell Wolves were inyad- ed by the Ketchikan Bears, who went away with our scalps in all three games.
 The first game was slow lop-sid- ed affair with the Bears in the lead the entire game. The ending score was 26-10 with Kayi Bears on the top.
 In the second game the Wolves went out with their fangs barred to revenge their defeat of the first game. At the end of the first half Mrangell emerged with leading score of I0-7. The Bears came back the second half to win the lead. but the Wrangell Boys held them down until the last few minutes. Then our center, Arthur Clark, went out of the bame with a nose bleed. The Ketchikan team then made two bas- kets to tie the score Of 17-17. An overtime period of three minutes was played resulting in a tie score again, 1919.
 Another overtime period had to be played, in which the Bears came out in the lead, making the final score 21-19.
 In the last game Wrangell WAS again swamped by the untiring Kay hi boys, who held the lead through the game and ended wit a score of 32-14.

COFFEE CAN BASKETS

The sixth-grade girls have been working on a new style of basket. We each brought a pound coffee can. We measured and cut the can into strips, leaving half the strip fastened to the bottom. Some of us painted them with gold paint, which we brought from home, and others used some paint from school.
 We work on our baskets every Friday when the boys go down to the Gym for basketball. So far we have cut and painted them. This Friday we will begin weaving with reed.
 Some of the girls will give the baskets to their mothers for birth days or for Mothers Day.

SCHOOL SPIRIT

The school spirit was shown to have increased considerably by the number of students who attended the games between Ketchikan' and WrAngell High School basketball teams, Thursday, Friday and Satur- day. The roofing section proved sey- eral times larger than usual and therefore the volume secured in the yells, songs and general roofing was very satisfactory compared to other demonstrations. It is the un- animous hope that this spirit will continue or increase through the Petersburg games.
