HKUl SCHOOL NOTION
V
A class program was given by the
members of the Junior class, Friday
morning, .during assembly. . , One
number of the program was a min
strel show, and the others was an
'"Old Malds' Tea Tarty." The latter
number was'qutte Interesting, la that
the gossip caused some squirming
on the part of. the different Individ
uals in the audience. However,
v cone of the remarks were of a malic
ious nature, and the victims, were
able to laugh .as heartily as the
others. '
Owing to the cold weather, aa un
usually small crowd was present to
witness the "debacle" which . took
(lace Friday at thfootball grounds,
but those who did attend were amply
repaid for their effort. It was a
fine sight to see our boys walk all
' over our old rivals. . At the end of
the game the score stood 47 to 0 in
favor of Alliance, v
A large box of candy was pre
sented to the football boys by the
proprietor of the "Sugar Bowl,1
Monday morning, as a reward for
winning the game. "To them that
hath"
, We are sorry to hear of the illaeas
of Gladys McFarland, who has been
operated upon for appendicitis. We
all hope for her speedy recovery. -.
The mixer, Friday night. was a
decided success. The students bad a
Jolly time, good eats, and got better
acquainted with each other. Some
have been heard to express a desire
to "mix"' every Friday night. The
Sidney football boys were guetg of
honor.
The Sidney coach Bays that Sidney
has the best material for basket ball
that it has had in a long time, both
in the girls' and the boys' team.
' This is undoubtedly true, the -teams
being made up largely of experienced
players. Alliance will have to look
to her basket ball laurels during the
coming season.
Our girls are working up. enthusi
asm and muscle In the gym. and will
organise a .basket ball team after
Thanksgiving. The boys will organise
a little later.
Some of us were disappointed at
not seeing all the material for the
"Spud" in piint, this wtik. We axe
told that the wealth of material waa
o great that pome had to be left for
the next edition. All will appear In
due time.
The football team will go to Hot
Springs, next Friday, where they will
proceed to trim' the native , team
-wa hope.. They are acquiring a rep
utation which requires Jealsns
guarding. ' i
