BASKETBALL
The varisty will have its first taste of competition
when they play at Jefferson this Friday.
Only two
veterans remained from the previous year but all are
a bunch of determined fighters.
Like to have as
many that can attend be there and back the team.
INTER-SHOP LEAGUE
Printers and Commercial 11
Barbers and Bakers 13
The shop league basketball tournament began by
the printers and commercialite class losing a heart
breaker on “gobbler day,” to the barbers and bakers.
No kind of strategy was used by either team and both
depended on “mother luck” to win the game. John
Decker, the “printer’s devil” gave the hair pullers
and dough slingers all the trouble they wanted.
It
was a close game and the result of the score indicated it,
11-13.
A return game will be played on December
15th and we are “putting you wise to save your nickels
and dime’ ’ for the printers plan to print tickets for this
coming fray. No complimentary tickets will be given
out.
Shoemakers and Pre-vocationals 20, Cooks 14
The cooks failed in their attempt to boil the shoe
makers. The dwarfs tick-tack-toed their way to a 20
to 14 victory over the “hash throwers.” During the
warm-up period of the second half the cooks came
back with a “do or die” expression on their faces
(something that looks like fried beef steak) but failed
to penetrate through the offense of the shoe repairers.
The cooks failed to bring back the bacon.
Engineers and Plumbers 14, Mechanics 41
The engineers and plumbers were overwhelmingly
defeated by the mechanics. It was a great game for
the mechanics but to the public it was terrible.
Tailors 23, Farmers and Dairymen 29.
The farmers plowed through rock when they en
countered the tailors but finally managed to win in the
closing minutes of the battle. The tailors planned to
run the farmers ragged and afterward sew them up but
“Christy Crusty” Amyotte’s needle-eye was not coor
dinating with his threader finger. He says the hand
is quicker than the eye.

SENIOR COMMERCIALITES
The senior commercials gave a program the day
after Thanksgiving in which everyone took part.
The opening number on the program was given by
Laura Walters giving a synopsis on the history of
Thanksgiving day. Laura certainly did a fine job and
enlightend our minds somewhat as to the observance
of Thankgiving.
A quartet sang the opening song and the singers
were; Laura Walters, Gertie Adams, Myrtle Spanish
and Thresa Decelles.
The following number was a short Pantomine en
titled “Wild Nell, the pet of the plains.”
Threasa
Decelles acted the part of Lady Vere De Vere the
English heiress.
Evelyn Goerge did justice to the
part assigned to “Handsome Harry, the King of the
Cowboys,” who is supposed to be a big strapping fel
low with broad shoulders.
Gertie Adams played the
part of “Sitting Bull, the Indian Chief.”
Myrtle
Spanish, of course, being the pet of plains showed
great ability in the heroic part of “Wild Nell.” She
insisted on dying on a chair instead of on th*1 Poor
like she should of, nevertheless it was very good. It
was read by Muriel Pratt.
We were all having such a wonderful time. It
seems that in all things in life we are brought back to
the serious side of life with a start and this wasn’t to be
an exception we were to learn later. For just as we
were getting all set for the eats Miss Hoffman was
called and informed that she was needed at home.
When one is summoned home it usually makes them
happy but when tragedy awaits them I’m sure that
you understand how a person feels and we hope Miss
Hoffman finds everything as well as can be expected.
We also hope that the junior class will cooperate with
us and do the very best they can in their studies while
Miss Hoffman is gone. We feel that we should lighten
her burden by being A-l students while she is away.
Be honest to yourself and by being honest to yourself
you are honest to everyone with whom you may come
in contact.
