Chronicles EDITORS Hattie Renswold—1914 Emma James—1915 EDITO RIAES THE Alliance High School has kept up to the usual standard this year and as this is the last number of The Spud for at least three months, we wish to mention the different successful features of the year. In Basket Ball we again won the championship of Western Nebraska and a large blue and white champion ship banner was presented to the High school, May 13, by Mr. Meyer, in behalf of the managing board of the league. The girls’ team was not defeated in any of the games this year, but there isn't any league and pennant for them, or one would have been added to our collection for each of the last three years. The Latin Club has been unusually successful. The regular number of meetings was held, and a play, “The Roman Wedding,” given. With the funds from this play, the club purchased two large pieces of frieze for the assembly room. The Debating Team was good this year, hut lost to Sidney 21. In Declamatory work we secured two firsts and one second in the district contest. At the state contest we won first honors in the humorous class. Last 14
