BASKETBALL GAMHS

our 1941 basketball season. After a
little practice and a few trick shots,
the two teams met in a well played
game which proved the experience
and practice for both.
Before the game ended, William
Hudson, captain of the high school
team, had scored % points. The
game not being scheduled both teams
took the opportunity to obtain more
practice. After 80 minutes of hard
playing the boys of Beacon took the
victory with a score of 1884.
Girls basketball is well underway!
The squad, having practiced approx
mately three weeks, seems to be in
pretty good shape. The team men,
bers have high hopes for good re-
suits this season. With the aid and
guidance of our most able coach,
Miss Humphreys, who, by-the-way,
was the coach of last years cham
pionship team, we will, undoubtedly,
go far toward another similar goal.
On Tuesday of this week the girls
play their first game of the season
with Berlin, who, we fear, will prove
to be fierce opponents. Although this
is merely a practice game, the girls
are very enthusiastic and the old S.
H. II. S. fighting spirit is being a.
reused.
PNEUMONIA PREVENTION
Last Friday morning preventive
pneumonia serum was administered
by DR.. Llewellyn and nurse, Mrs.
Graefe, to those wishing to take it.
Many of the students and quite a
few of the parents availed themsel-
YES of this splendid opportunity.
While this serum is still largely in
an experimental stage, it is general
" believed that it makes one immune
for twelve or thirteen months.
This serum was given by the Coun-
ty Health Department.
THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS
A new issue of "The Last of the
Mohicans" has been put in our lib
rary. This story of the American
Indians was written by James Feni-
more Cooper, the first important
novelist of our country. Besides be-
ing very entertaining, this book con-
tains a great deal of information
concerning the Indians. Quite few
illustrations are found here, too. AS
this book is easily read, I advise any
one who likes adventure stories to
read this great novel.
~ KNOW YOUR LIBRARY
800 SectiOn-SOcial Sciences
In my opinion this section contains
the widest variety of works and per-
haps more information which can be
put to more practical uses than any
other section in our library. 1t con-
tains books ranging from economics
to modern teaching and from voca-
tons to college catalogs.
I am equally as certain that more
people should read these valuable
books. For the information contain
ed in these books they all show sur
prisingly few Withdrawals.
Since most of us will shortly have
to work for living and will have to
choose our life work in the very near
future we shall begin with the vo-
cational books.
The best of the vocational books in
our library is, 1 believe, Rohengar-
tens Choosing Your Life Work" "
This book gives plan for self analy-
sis and gives an analysis of occupa-
tons. 1t describes requirements and
types of persons best suited for var
ious careers from agriculture through
to woodwork. It is a book written
in an interesting and efficient man
ner, there being no quips or illus
trations on a six year old plans.
There is only one copy so someone
better chop to it."
Another interesting vocation book
is Careers Ahead" by Cottler and
Brecht. This book points out the
necessary qualifications for several
occupations.
Now book for the girls, 1.-THE Girl
and Her Future" by Hoerls. A very
good book, it describes the qualifica-
lions for business and professional
women and also for individual pur-
suits.
There are several other vocational
books in our library for both boys and
girls. Then took, if you can't find
