Saving Idea Easy On Towels

Here's saving idea-an idea
that will prevent good bathroom
towels being cut when the men of
the house casually wipe off sharp
razors with them. Instead. hang
a supply of small outing flannel
squares on a hook near the wash
basin. A yard of inexpensive out
ing flannel will make about a
dozen of these miniature towels.
Hem them around the edges and
attach a loop of tape at one cor
ner. The shavers will find them
much handler than bulky towel
and they viii wash as easily as a
handkerchief.

Seniors Help
in Basketball

Four years ago a group of fresh
men reported for basketball when
the season started and looked very
eager to learn the game. Then
there were a lot OF boys out and
so there was not any chance OF
freshmen making the first team.
The present senior boys remained
on the second team and helped
bring a successful season of wins
to the team. That year the sec
ond team won all their games
The next year they again came
out for basketball but some of them
failed to report. That year OF the
present senior boys out for bas-
ketball, with only one class mem.
Der, Robert Hilarides, making the
varsity squad The rest OF the
present senior boys still needed
further experience and remained
on the second team and again that
year they helped win. BY their
junior year three OF the members
made the varsity.
We broke even in our third year
OF basketball by winning and los
ing the same amount Of games
The last year OF basketball came
around. With FIVE seniors re-
porting for the varsity. They were
Captain Chester Wojcicki, Larry
0'Neil. Robert Hilarides, Dick
Ross and Don Bluhm. We hated
to see the last year of basketball
roll by but we had the fun OF
playing together and that's half the
game in itself.
