SPORTS
Sank Centres squad played an
indecisive battle with Osakis with
either team in a position to win.
Although Osakis won the game, the
boosting Of the morale on the Sank
Centre eleven was evident. Sank
Centre has now completely aban-
doned the system used at the sea-
sons start. The "To' formation
is no longer used and the team
Is back to the flashy shift they
used last year. Capt. Lying played
remarkable game both offensive
ly and Extensively. If he can show
the same brand Of ball against the
remaining Conference teams we
play, he may take over an all con-
ference tackle berth. Kurrell at
fullback is another candidate for
honors because Of his steadiness
and continually good play. Moon
ey, Hansmann and Samuelson also
have chances on the mythical elev-
en-. BY the time Sank Centre plays
Glenwood, Friday after the Will
mar game, they should show a diff
ferent type Of ball game than the
weak eleven they were in the two
home games.
BOY SCOUTS
On Thursday, October 9th, the
Boy Scouts held their annual COM
munity drive. Fifteen Boy Scouts
took part in this drive and some
Of the money received from it will
go to the Girl Scouts. Oh yes, we
have some new patrol leaders, I am
told they are Dick Berggreen and
Richard Nelson.
LYCEUNTS
Last week Lieutenant Fay DOM
Ike gave us an interesting lecture
on our Navy. After his lecture he
answered many questions which
students asked. It seems that the
fifth and sixth grades were the
most interested in the Navy. Some
Of the teachers also had questions
to ask. Mr.. Domke answered them
very satisfactorily.
On Tuesday afternoon Of last
week, Mr.. Fish, who is the fire
chief Of Sank Centre, gave us a
talk about the prevention Of fire.
That week has been set aside as
fire prevention week.
HOME ECONOMICS
In Home &c. III and Nv they
had their six weeks test. This year
in all the foods work in Home
Economics we are emphasizing what
was recommended by Claude r.
Wickard, Secretary Of Agriculture
and by the Office Of Emergency
Management. This refers especial
ly to avoiding waste Of foods. The
canning lessons were related to
this effort in the interest of nation
al defense.
The seventh graders are complet-
ing their unit on Health and First
Aid. Each member Of the class
has given first aid demonstration
in some type of bandaging. This
type Of thing is also for home de-
tense. All of the Home Economies
classes use a notebook. This note
book takes a form of a journal In
which they write every day they
come to class. It is a record Of
what is accomplished on that from
the students point Of view.
GIRL SCOUTS
On Thursday, October End, the
Scouts had planned to go on a sup
per hike, but because Of the rain,
they couldn't go hiking. Instead
the Scouts all met in the Junior
High Gym and played games. Lat
er the supper was eaten in the
lunch room. At the Scouts last
meeting they discussed plans for
earning money during the coming
year, but at present their plans
aren't definitely made.
COUNTRY SCHOOLMA'AM
BY Della +. Lutes
This delightful slice Of autobio-
graphy is an authentic picture of
life in the easy eighties when the
author, at sixteen, became a coun-
try schoolma'am.
Dolly Thompson, as she was
then, is hired by the Grove School
for the fall term. The school Is
seven miles away from her fathers
farm, which makes It necessary for
her to board away from home. This
is her first experience with the out
side world and there are times
when Delly's confidence is shaken.

metic, nor of her ability to handle
the big strapping boys. But her
enthusiasm and warm interest kin
die the respect Of even the biggest
boys and at the end Of the term
