Eli Nicola's signature, a bird
cage, a tom-cod’s fin, a crutch,
a used talldpop, three hairs from
Mir. Kirkpatrick’s head—these
were only a few of the out-of
ordinary things for which our
high school students were scour
ing the town last Saturday even
ing. The Freshmen were giving a
party. The clan of Nome Hi gath
ered in the assembly room at 8
o’clock, more or less, and coup
les were dispatched in search of
such an outlandish list of the ar
ticles as only a Freshman could
devise. The supremacy of the Fair
Sex, when it came to Scavenger
Hunts, was proved when Audrey
Dunham and Mary Hood Chap
man came in with all but five of
the necessary articles and won
the first prize. After all this stren
uous action, the crowd was ready
for food, and fruit salad, plenty
of cake, and gallons of hot choc
olate were consumed with relish.

Dancing to aocordian music fur
nished by Mrs. Stanley Martin
occupied the rest of the evening.
All in all, it was a delightful
party, and the least we can Say
is "Hats off to the Freshies!"
A special meeting of the Stu
dent Body was called by Presi
dent Tom Martin Friday after
noon. The problem- of the care
of the school building was the
main topic of discussion. Mr.
Pool presented the faculty’s views
on the subject, and Mairy Hood
Chapman reported the resullits of
the Student Council’s toiur of in
spection and the Council’s ideas
on how to handle the problem.
The students agreed to put over
a drive to prevent ink spots on
the floor, markings on the fur
niture, etc., and to give the build
ting the sort of care it merits. The
election of officers for the com
ing year was brought up, but
the matter was placed on the
table until a future meeting.
Apparently we have some budd
ing Robin Hoods in our midst.
Several hardwood bows are be
ing oonstmuted in Manual Train
ing. Some tables and chairs were
refinished this week. Metal fig
ures for above the various doors
of the buildings have been be
gun.
The boy's basketball team Fri
day night suffered their second
defeat when the NAC ran up a
score of 30 to 17 against them.
The boys played a hard, fast
game although the NAC took
the lead early in the game and
held it. The middle of the third
quarter saw. the teams separated
by only a few points but from
then on the game was ail NAC.
The High school showed impnov
ed work in alltl departments ov
er last week’s game. One of the
prettiest shots of* the evening
was a one-hand over-head shot
by Willoya from far out in the
corner.
The married women and the
Huskiettes played a fast game
Friday which resulted in another
victory for the Hiigh School. The
half ended with the Huskiettes
four points ahead, but a reserve
lineup failed to hold the lead
and were only again used after
forwards Lee and Martin had
built up a substanfia'l lead. The
married Women were handicap
ped by lack of reserves, while
the High School frequently sub
stituted and had the game well
in hand at all stages. For the
high school, Chapman and O’
Leary proved specially effective
as guards, while Dunham’s play
ing was notably improved.
The girls team from the Native
School met the Huskiettes in a
game Wednesday after school.
