School Notes.
The Athena girls' basket ball team
met defeat at Toucliet last Friday
night bv a score of 42 to SI. Touchet
beat Athena by only two more points
this year than they did last, so the
gitls do not feel badly over this score,
as Touchet has a much stronger team
th s year, having all old players again,
while Athena has only three of the old
team. The line-up for Athena was:
Kathren Froom and Evalyn Hurd, for
wards; Helen Russell and Ellen Pam
brun, guards; Audra Winship running
center and Hazel Sanders jumping cen
ter. Principal J. O. Russell refer
eed the game. The girls .are going to
Weston tonight. They have been
practicing hard all week so they ex
pect to return with a victory. The
line-up for tonight will be the same
as at Touchet.

school spirit similar to that of La
Grande.

day morning when the work of the
