Baseball Game
The Huskies snappy new base
ball suits didn’t seem to bring
them any luck Wednesday night,
and inspite of their best efforts,
the Commercials carried off the
laurels of the evening. Ben Mann,
a pitcher new to the league, had
the Comms buffaloed for a few
innings, and Martin Willoya, A.l
Huskie pitcher,was clicking some
hot ones over the plate, but the
Commercials batters seemed to
connect to the tune of fifteen
runs, while the best the Huskies
could whack out was nine. How
ever, the Huskies don’t intend to
camp permanently on the bottom
of the heap, and aren’t whipped
yet, so, ye baseball fans, keep
your eyes on the boys with the
blue and white suits!
Senior Dance
Friday night the second high
school dance of the season, spon_
sored by the Seniors, was much
enjoyed by the goodly crowd that
turned out in spite of the storm
iness of the night. Novelty decor
ations, balloons floating over the
heads of the crowd, with the cen.
ter of interest a cluster of huge
balloons over the stage, gave the
gym a highly festive appearance.
The orchestra, with Miss Clarice
Bonstrom taking Mrs. Whaley’s
place at the piano, provided plen
ty of music to tickle the toes of
the crowd. Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Whaley’s tap dancing was great
ly enjoyed. The climax of the
evening came when the strings
on which the balloons were strung
were cut loose, and allowed to j
fall to the floor. The dance then
proceeded to the music of popping
balloons nearly as much as that
of the orchestra. Delicious punch
was served. Committees were:
Invitation: Geraldine Rude, Fred
Waid, Norvin Lewis.
Decoration: Rita O’Leary, Ben
Mann, Borgny Ulricksen.
Lights: Tom Martin, Harold
Berg, Stan Amarok.
Refreshments: Geraldine Rude,
Rita O’Leary, Borgny Ulricksen.
Thursday afternoon the City
Council and the School Board
visited the school building, and
inspected the gymnasium in an
endeavor to discover the cause of
several leaks which have lately
appeared in it. Several other
matters pertaining to the school
were also discussed at the meet,
ing.
A fire drill Friday morning went
off in a smooth and orderly man
ner, the building being emptied
with very little confusion. The
High School Fire Brigade took
their places at the various extin.
guishers. and in the event of a
real blaze would have been ready
for instant efficient action.
