Show I HIGH SCHOOL NOTES As was mt iitioned in lat week's edition, the girls' team was to accept ac-cept the challenge of the Miuersville team to a game on their floor Friday. Fri-day. As one carload was detained until 4:20, the game was rather delayed. de-layed. However, the Miuersville gym was crowded with hooting and encouraging en-couraging spectators, offering both sarcasm and bets, until the game began be-gan at 5 o'clock. You may talk all day about a fast team, or sing praises unto your star favorite .star of the manly sports, or j hold as a perfect example of agility j and speed, some village wonder, but j they, none of them, can surpass j those Minersville girls. They are the ; epitome of what we have been striv- ; ing for, but have never successfully gained. Well, we didn't have a "lookin". Their speed, combined with admirable admir-able team work and passing, was superb, and we could only follow a poor second. The closest score was 6 to 4, favor fa-vor of Miuersville. From then on we had to fight and battle every point. "Their brow is wet with honest ; sweat," certainly described our en-1 en-1 tire team. The score was just natur- ally in Minersville's favor from start ! to finish, and finally wound up by ; being 3 0 to 11. But we can say that they made ' four Limes as many fouls as we did. ! They also played with only two divi-; divi-; sions of the floor and we have al- ways played with three. But they have given us a return game on Friday, March 12. The game is to be played in the Milford gym with our rules. Starting promptly prompt-ly at 8 o'clock, we predict a mighty fast game. Bring the family. Admission Admis-sion 25c.

Stars realized that their opponents were worthy o considerable atten-i atten-i tion. The result was two points I ahead for the All Stars in the third quarter. But undaunted by this the Freshies used their pluck to good advantage and in the last quarter raised their score 2 2 to the All Star's ' 20. A foul called on LeRoy's guard and LeRoy imbued with "win or die' . spirit, pitched successfully the bas-! bas-! ket, raising the score to 23. But im-ediately. im-ediately.

Will it be another basket no by gee, missed it and worse luck two fouls called on a Freshie. "Miss it, Frank, Miss it" were hurled in vain. Both pitches scored and the game was ended with All Star team 24 and Freshies 23. But if some one loans Tom a rabbit foot the Freshies Fresh-ies can win next time. They are the best players anyway. . Wednesday the Seventh grade enacted en-acted their program, which was to rival the Eighth grade. A large number of parents attended attend-ed the entertainment, and as the Eighth Grade program was also played for parents' and teachers' meeting, practically all had seen both performances. So divided has been opinion as to the prize assembly assem-bly that we shall leave the decision to individual performers. In anyaor to individual preierences. In any case, every one has been highly enjoyable. en-joyable. The first number of the program was a country skit, consisting of a quartet and a charming dance by Dprothy Quayle, Helen Carlson, Sherman Hickman and Julian Tate.
