HALLE @. BROWN NOTES
The Halle @. Brown Glee Club
was at its best in it's appearance
last Friday night, March 6, at
Hamline Methodist Church. Mr..
Whitaker and the Glee Club re-
ceived many we'll deserved compli-
ments.
Mrs. Leah M. Young and Miss
Laura Jeffrey are to be congratu-
lated on the splendid program of
the Nursery Mothers Club. At the
March 6 meeting two movies of
model nursery school were shown.
The gym at Halle is busy these
days what with the women and
girls participating in basketball,
badminton, archery and tumbling,
and the boys and men adding to
those sports, boxing.
Miss Jane Murphy's tumbling
group is truly mushrooming. Start
ing with small group of girls 7
to 9 years old, it is growing in
numbers and older girls are be-
coming interested.
Basketball has been exceedingly
popular this season with two
strong intramural teams and two
teams entered in the City League,
in which the Juniors were the
champions and the Intermediates,
the runnerups in their respective
divisions.
With the basketball season draw
ing to a close Halle has a grand
finale planned. On Friday, March
10, the third annual Joe Louis
A. C. of Duluth-Hallie Q. Brown
game will be played on Hallie's
floor. That is always an exciting
game.
March Is through March 20 the
City Wide Amateur Basketball will
be held. Some of the games will
be played at the Jewish Education
al Center, but all the semi-fnals
and finals as well as half of the
first contests will be played on
Hallie's court. Already entered in
this tournament are such cracker
jack teams as Hamline, St. Thorn
as, Montgomery, Mimi, St. Cloud
Teachers, Fl. Smelling, Neighbor-
hood House, Marshall, Manchester,
st. Francis and many others.
The GROWING event of the sea-
son will be the Statewide ANA
teur Tournament which will attract
the best basketball players in the
state who have won fame through
out the season. Players will come
from Gilbert, Chisholm, Eveleth,
Hibbing, Duluth, Minneapolis, Fari-
bault, Rochester, St. Paul, etc.
These games will be held at Halle
on March II and March %.
1t should be very gratifying to
those people who have made it pos
sible for Halle to have this grand
new gym when they see it take its
place as a favorite for holding
these stellar athletic events. It
will, moreover, do its bit to fur
Their racial understanding and good
fellowship. Come on over and share
in it's use.
Have you seen those attractive
pins the Boys and Girls of Yester-
day are wearing? The maroon
letters B G Y on a background of
gold produces a very rich looking
pin. They are indebted to the gen.
erosity of Oliver Taylor for these
pins.
