Bear River Takes Ninth Place At The State Meet Out of the twenty-nin- e schools participating in the State meet, Bear River piled up enough points to give her ninth place. It seems our men were a little off form, at the meet and they did not do as well as expected. In the 880 yd. relay Bear River placed second, nettting four points. Hawkins won fourth place in the 220 yard dash gaining two more points, when he placed third in the 440 yard dash, bringing the total of points to nine, giving us placing of ninth. CONGRATULATIONS BEARFAX As the 1930 Bearfax made its appearance on the campus only a few minutes before our time to go to press, we have not had time to examine it carefully. It looks like a very fine book, though. We know it has cost a great deal of time, and effort on the part of the staff, particularly of the editor, Roma Tubbs, and the business manager, Revere Hansen. To them and their staff of helpers, we extend our sincerest congratulations for a big job well done. $1.06-$1.1- $1.05-$1.1- 75-8- 98c-$1.0- 1. sub-so- 92c-98- 96c-$1.- D3QEC3 (g bat shades, a place to A home oOora eataadsbsp. la H ti Mother works catTying iimvof cBiM'j bnrdttts. yet some say, "Wfey do day 4c-6- old faster than awr 5c-6- 2c-3- jc Electric Range out-bou- CLEARANCE SALE Here are the three great Electric Servants which drive drudgery away and give time to turn the house into a home.
