The old pigskin has just been laid away for another year and here is the basketball scramble beginning. Most of us know what school spirit is because we've grown up with it ever since we first stepped inside the school doors. We know that it is pride and support Of the school and team-and that We invariably are hoarse after every game.
 Little does the team know that we. the rooters. are just as tired out as they are after a game! Yet such is the case We all have fun doing it, and it is a great satisfaction to watch our boys forge ahead, ten points to the good It certainly gives our team vim, vigor, and vitality when we are jumping around in the stands like escaped maniacs.
 This is a challenge to all corners! Wrangen Hi is ready!!!

COME ONE. COME ALL

The basketball Game between Wrangell High School and Wrangell Institute was scheduled for Deeem- Der 18th and the High School play. Cat o Nine Tails, for December 11th and 18th. But due to the time in- Yolyed in putting the play in pre- sentable shape the schedule has been changed.
 The new schedule has the Basket ball Game the Eth of December and the play the 18th and 18th, which gives those who take part in the play more time for rehearsals.
 We have it from reliable sources that the Freshman will sell candy, Root Beer. and popcorn balls at the game. Now please, when you have Root Beer, don't spill it on the floor as it makes it hard for the teams.

Special For The Ladies

Don't be color blind You no longer have to worry about looking conspicuous just because you wear a little color. All girls look younger and happier in eoIors like bright red, and Kelly green. Brilliant plaids in suits and even sweaters are seen eY- cry where Plaid or plain jerkins or 'manish" vests worn with plain or contrasting skirts always look, and are becoming to almost any girl
 Colorful lei necklaces made of anything from colored maearoni to horse chestnuts. And by the way have you seen those colorful neck laees made oI wax drops? few W. H. s. girls are wearing. All of these are very appropriate for pull-over sweaters and "sloppy-JOes Don't forget to push the sleeves of your sweaters to the elbows, or above. It ruins the shape of your sleeves, but who cares as long as your comfort able and every one else is doing it.
 Saddle shoes are still in the pie ture, tho fading slowly due to the popularity of the different types of moccasin shoes. The many saddle addicts who have not been able to part with there pet walkers are still wearing their dirty, dirty, mud plastered saddles that haven't seen water or polish since they were bought However, the trend seems to be for giving the old shoes a good polishing once in awhile.
 As the winter season is in full swing now, there comes the problem of what to wear There is no way to look beautiful walking in the drenehing Alaskan rain and snow Hats to match your reyersibles or colorful scarves will guard your cur ly locks from the rain drops. Rub Der boots are so chic these days especially in white, so don't hesi- tate to wear them as there's no remedy for wet feet. If the wind is chilly, and the snow falling, dress as warmly as possible. But don't forget your appearance. You'll want to be warm, even to your finger tips Boxing glove, jockey, fur knit, or angora mittens are still all in order. In the way of head wear for the snow, knit peasant caps and parka hoods with matching gloves and scarfs, brightly embroidered are very snug. Further more you can knit, or crochet these yourself, and be the envy of all your friends!
 z The night of the first basketball game is nearly here Be loyal-wear your uniforms girls, or at least our good oP school colors-red and white! But do wear colori! Above all else don't be a pris at the game. Regardless of what you wear, you've got two lusty lungs, so use themii! Don't make a spectacle of yourself but cheer Wrangell Hi to Yictory!i!

POEMS III! Cupid's Garden

We entered Cupid's Garden We wondered OCT the land; The moon was shining brightly As held her dainty-shawl. Yes, held her dainty shawl; How fast the evening flies, She spoke in tones so tender, As I gazed into her-luneh basket Yes, gazed into. her lunch basket And wished I had taste; We sat there in the moonlight My hand about her-umbrella Embracing her umbrella, This charming little Miss, As I slighly stole a-sandwich.
