School Orchestra BALL GAME On the afternoon of Monday, June 3, there was a game of baseball played by teams repiesenting the farmers and shop workers. The game was a most spirited one and there was no lack of rooters for either side. The farmers won by a score of 4 to 1. In reality the game was not so one-sided as the score would indicate. There was a good attendance and all enjoyed the event. DECLAMATION CONTEST At 6:45 in the evening the band played ano.ther enjoyable concert and there were many visitors in attendance.
