the black persisted. Mrs. De Voe

Grade Notes
The Junior br.sketball tesm has
three games scheduled. Two of these
games are to be with The

see what they had learned. The
grades were fair, the geograpry

The breaks were repaired and at

i'It might not be a poor suggestion on
our part that a cover be built 'over
jthe rams. If that were done work

comfortable when the weather was
chilly or when a rain was falling.
Over 12 Inches of Snow
The late mow storm eomnletelv
covered this section. In Maupin
fully 12 inches fell up to Tuesday
noon, and intermittent falls brought
that depth to over 15 inches bv to
day. This snowfajl meets with the
approval of wheat growers as it will
guarantee sufficient moisture to

H.D. Hollis and Jim Baxter made
