High School Notes
Although we tried hard to get a ball game for last Friday, we were unsuccessful. No other team seemed anxious to play against us. From that it would appear that we have a good team, which is indeed the case.
The first football practice was Friday afternoon. The air had just the right snap to put the boys in a good humor and there were a good many out for the practice. We expect to turn out a good team this year even if we haven't quite as much weight as we had last year.
Another Freshman! Harley Love joined us last Monday. He comes from Hyde Park school of Chicago.
The senior English class entertained Miss Morris, Wednesday, with five minute speeches on various topics of school interest.
Our new football came Monday. It is a beauty, the regulation Spalding. A new basket ball will probably be the next in order.
Notice to the Boys
We told you last week, boys, about the offer Freeland Bros. were making for the best twelve ears of corn, and we know there are a lot of you wondering why you can't get that premium. But here is something else the doctors are going to offer you. In addition to the $3 offered for the best twelve ears of corn, and $2 for the next best, they offer a premium of $2 for the best twelve heads of Kaffir corn also, left at their barn. The premiums will be awarded December 15th, in good time for Christmas. Look around, boys, then get busy.
