They were the first team lo initiate the new gym when on the evening of Mar. 6 they defeated the Sirls basket ball team from Bethel Church. S. E. Minneapolis. Although at the end of the first half the odds stood against oiir girls, we were glad when the dust settled and found the score 20—12 in l'avor or Bethel Academy girls. The girls played a c.’ean game thruout the entire game, it was the right way to open the new gym and we hope that in the future it will be the same.

The first game of the season was played on May t at Como against St. P. C. A good crowd was present and showed a great deal of spirit. Arthur Belstrom was in the box and he proved too good a man for the other side. St. P. C. was forced to use two pitchers and yet could not stop the heavy hitting done by our boys.

But by the encouraging words from those who have gone before and conquered, and by words o’ regret from those who gave it lip before they had finished, we are spurred to go on and make the goal.
