BASEBALL GAME
Wednesday night's baseball
game was decidedly more encour
aging for the Huskies and their
loyal supporters. With Martin
Willoya and Ben Mann slamming
the balls over the plate and the
rest of the team backing them up
with an almost errorless game,
the Alaskans were only able to
knock ten runs, while the Husk,
ies, exhibiting a little more of the
old batting eye, piled up a score
of 17. Allan Lee, the Huskies A_1
catcher injured his hand in the
game but it is healing nicely and
he will be back on the floor in
two weeks. Since the women
are to be given a chance to show
their skill next week, the Huskie.
Hammon game has been postpon.
ed, and after a two week layoff,
the Huskies hope to hang the
Hammon scalps to their belts.
Student Body Meeting
A Student Body Meeting was
called to order Friday afternoon
by President Tom Martin. The
matter of school letters according
to a point system simular to last
year’s with a small special em.
blem awarded for the activity in
which one particularly excelled.
The need for more student body
activities was talked about, and
plans are underway to enlarge
the activity calendar for the sec.
ond semester. The meeting was
adjourned.
A slightly jittery feeling might
be observed by a sharp.eyed vis.
itor to the high school this week,
for the immediate future is dark,
ly clouded. Midyear exams,
those banes of a student’s exist,
ence, are bearing down with om_
inous rapidity and Physics, Geo.
metry. and French books are see.
ing hard usage.
The Manual Training Class has
completed and installed the pig.
eon.holes in the office. The sharp
ening of knives has taken up
some time this week. Bud Cun.
ningham has just finished his
writing desk which has been un.
der construction for several
weeks.
The Home Making Class has
been busy studying the prepare,
tion of breakfasts. They have
cooked and eaten at 2:30 p.m.,
various cereals, muffins, cinnamon
bread, fried corn mush, and as
a grand finale, bacon and eggs.
The best laugh of the week at
the high school was the stupen.
dous, colossal baseball game Fri.
day afternoon in which the boy’s
second team permitted themselv. |
es to be beaten by the high1
school girls. The hard.hitting
females, with Harold (Helen)
Berg, a borrowed pitcher, smok.
ing his famous curve balls ar.
ound the boy’s bats, had the poor!
fellows completely buffaloed, and ;
walked off with the game with a
score of 12 to 10.
