indian natives-both young and old

Troutner uses a 4-place Stinson

 Cooperation In Gym Use

(From the office of the super intendent)
 The cooperation of everyone in the Valley in matters pertain ing to the use of the gymnasium again is requested by the super intendent of schools. There have been three former notices in Valley newspapers in regard to requirements for use of the gym. nasium.
 However, several groups of po- tential renters had no official permission to enter the gym. nasium when the time for their use of the building came.
 Ii is reiterated that in order
 to rent the gymnasium. or use ii. under the orders of the local
 board of education a commit tee must present itself al the office of inc superintendent of schools 10 sign an agreement. A copy of this agreement must be presented when entering the gymnasium. as official permission for admittance.
 All events scheduled in the gymnasium must conform to the calendar of events in the super- lntendent's office in order to avoid conflicts. No one who has not made previous arrangements for the use of the gymnasium, can be permitted to enter.
 It is advisable to make ar- arrangements at least a week in advance in order that the event may be fitted into the busy school calendar so that the least amount of people will be disap- pointed.
 Ii is we'll 10 bear in mind that the gymnasium is oper- ated as school property this year. Its use. therefore( must conform 10 regulations gov erning the use of school pro- pertY.
 It sthe intention of the board of education and of the school of ficials to cooperate at all times with the toWnspeople. This can be done only through the proper observance of the laws establish ed by the board of education for the use of the gymnasium.

PHS To Have Fair Team About 2 Years Hence

Just aSk cOach Lawrence Glib son of Palmer high school about basketball prospects this season and he'll get far-away look in his eye and begin to talk about next year and year after. With most of the 40 players either freshmen or sophomores, MT. Gibson allows that he'll have quite team about season after next.
 He says this years squad lacks the experience and size of last seasons five. However, he ad. mits, upon cross examination, that there are three men over six feet tall, one around five-nine and a couple that do bit better than five eight.
 As far as experience goes, there are five regulars return ing from last years squad. They include Don Irwin. Ray Puhl. Walt Stevens. Lloyd PlumleY and Duane Huntley. The first three are seniors.
 MT. Gibson says there are several promising freshmen turn ing out this year, and undoubt- edly there will be some fresh men on his first-string squad, when he finally weeds them down to 20. He expects to carry first and second-string squads of 10 players each.
 In addition to his five return ing regulars, Providence was good to coach Gibson when it gave him Jim Gleason, a trans fer from Juneau. Somebody did the court boss quite a favor. too. when they induced Lynn Sand vlk to turn out this season. Lynn IS junior, but has never played competitive basketball before Lynn probably will be playing forward when he makes his court appearances this year.
 Although Mir. Gibson eau. tioned that ii was much too soon to make predictions, he said both Miles Hyland. a sophomore guard. and Georqe Pedersen. a potential forward, were shaping up we'll in prac- flee.
 There is some doubt that George will be able to continue basketball, however. The team is beginning evening practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and George, a student from the FL Nathan home, must depend on school buses for his transporta- tion.
 The squad had it's first light floor scrimmage last Monday. However, MT. Gibson will make no announcement of possible starters in the Alumni season. opener next Friday until late next week. He does not expect to begin to trim down his squad until after that game.

Shamrocks Are } Deep At First Workout

Fifteen men eager to don Shamrock basketball suit were on hand at Palmer gymnasium last Monday night to greet their coach, Art Stacey. MT. Stacey said the squad went through it's paces well, for an initial work out.
 "The men are anxious 10 play" he stated. We feel that there's every chance to organ. ike a good town team in bas- ketball this year"
 Since gymnasium schedules are still not entirely worked out, MT. Stacey said it is possible that present practice dates for the Shamrocks may be changed.
 The Palmer school is expected to announce definite practice as signment for town teams next week.
 Members of the women's team, coached by Mrs. Ethel Lyon, also held their first practice this week.
