Any one chancing to overhear them might wonder for a moment as to thoir moaning. What else could they mean but that the long looked for Basket Ball season has ar rived? There is good reason for excitement and expectancy, not only because there is a larger turnout for practice, but also because the material shows favorable signs for tho making of splendid teams. The girls have practiced so steadily and skillfully that they have good reason for the whispering among themselves concerning the"drub- bmir" thev plan to give Beaver- ton December 19th, und also their hopes to get revenge on other teams who have defeated them the last couple of years. The boys also show prospects of a splendid first team. As there are 18 boys playing, u second team can easily lie organized. As both the first and second teams wear the same kind of uniform, a novel scheme was thought of in order to toll them apart. The first team to wear toques and the second loam go bare iieaded. On the whole James John hasn't much to worry about when it comes to basket ball. Tho newly organized Literary Society of tlie H. S. is now well started. At a mooting of a membership last week, the con stitution submitted by tho com mittee was read, discussed and finally adopted by unanimous vote. An executive bord of six was also elected by tho plnn of the preferential ballot. The purpose of the orgnnixntlon is two fold: briefly, to give op portunity for public speaking in Its varioifs forms, and, secondly, opportunity for pleasant social intercourse among tho student body of the H. S. Tho first evening's entertainment on Pri day, December 5, fulfilled both of these needs. The program in tho auditorium consisted of "moving pictures" iu the form of shadow pantomime. As ad vertised on the bulletin, there were "three reels"- Tho Ballad of an Oysterman, Lochinvar. and Gentle Alice Brown. In addition, Flavins Wost gave a violin solo, and a II. S. mixed quartette sang for tho illustrated song, "A Tale of a Tack." After ad journment of the society by the president, the members repaired to the gymnasium. Here boxing matches between Prank Wright and Claronco Krouger, Charles Cook and Hazon Smith were most amusing. A basket ball game followed between two teams of tho girls witli tho result of a sovon to seven score. Mario Bredeson was the star player. Tho girls did not play as well as at some of thoir practico gamoe. Miss Ruth Hedall is a wolcomo addition to tho roll of tho Prosh man class.
