A Fine Basketball Team

Hats off to Chesterhill's basketball team Ev-
cry good thing must come to an end and they
lost out in the sem-hnals in the sectional tourna-
ment by Just few points. With one exception
they went further in basketball than any other
high school team Morgan county ever produced,
during the regular season and in the county tour
nament. There may be few people who still
feel that athletics have place in our schools
but they are decreasing rapidly.
Never in the history of Chesterhill has that
place made so many big headlines, with such ia
vorable comment, in the city papers, as it did
when their fine basketball team played in the
county, district and sectional tournaments This
team has meant much to the schools of Marion
township and has created favorable impression
