Miller, rank Smith, SCH00U NUMBER 18 Asseinbly Even though the team had left for Delta, the students were cheering them on to victory. Mr. Kirkpatrick Imported a very intelligent horse that could tell fortunes. One stamp of the foot meant "yes," and two stamps meant "no." Every one was eager to know how the horse felt about the big games coming up. Naturally the horse stamped but once when asked by Mr. Kirkpatrick if Beaver would win the game at Delta. A loud cheer rang through the building in response to the favorable answer. "Will we beat Fillmore? Will we be tied for first place?" Whee! That horse surely knows his onions. The orchestra played "Black Rose Overture," and "Glee Club March." Mr. Gaufiu talked on standards and morals that should be found among the students. Four letters: U, S, B, H, were the impressive part of his talk. Although they do not stand for idealistic names now, they are being Improved until they will be proud to let them stand for United Students of Beaver High. The orchestra played "Scholastic March" for the student-body'- s exit. A very interesting assembly is be ing planned next time, and In next week's paper the dates for the assem blies will be printed so the parents can get on some of these vory inter It would be ap esting assemblies. preciated by us if the public would take enough interest in our school to attend some of the assemblies given weekly. Through the cooperation of the faculty and the business men of the community and with the help of Miss Smith, head of the foods department of the school, you can now buy de licious soup every noon at the school kitchen. It costs onlv two cents for a large bowl full. The students who live out of town are finding this an economical and healthful addition to their lunches assembly given by the Juniors the week before. The assembly was given last Friday and was this: violin solo by Dr. Parrish; vocal solo by Mr. Hand; talk of personal Hygiene by Dr. Parrish; duet from Milford opera "Bobby;" violin solo by Dr. Parrish. The Minersville high school basket ball girls were suddenly let down last Friday afternoon, when the town girls, without any practice came up to school and beat them with a score of 9 to 10. The girls believing they couldn't be beat ask to play a while longer. The town girls were sports and agreed. At the end of their few minutes of playing the town girls were still one point in lead. Our only excuse now is that one of our forwards seems to like married life better than playing ball. When it rains, it pours. This the students are beginning to believe. We have not had much reading material to do up until now and the teachers seeming to realize this at the same time assigned us a book to read for each class. Reading is not so bad though. You should have heard the moaning and groaning and have seen the looks of agony on the students faces when Mr. Pearson announced that we would take up Algebra in the class of General Reviews.
