THE CENTENNIAL GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The girls’ basketball team of 1926-1927 was not as successful as it might have been which was due to lack of games. After a great deal of practice, two games were played with Chinook. The first game meant victory, the last was lost by a score of 18-22. A game was also played between the first and second teams, in which the first team was victorious. A girls’ tournament was planned but due to the lack of schools entering the idea was abandoned. Miss Riddle and many of the girls are entitled to much of the honor earned by the team which was gained through efficient coaching and practice. The team was made up of four Seniors and two Juniors. Four of the girls wi.l graduate this year. The other two will be back again with high spirits of success and hopes for better opportunities for future games. The following made up the team: Geneva Pearson, center and captain; Alma Rhue and Ruth Green, for- wards; Myrtle Christofferson and Louise Works, guards; Mamie Pokorny, sub.

THE CENTENNIAL speaking contest and after two eliminations, Ruth Johnson, Eleanor Hetland, Dan Cushman, Robert Moe and Verlin Hurd were selected for the final try- out. Eleanor Hetland was chosen to represent our school at the contest held in Havre. Due to not knowing the time limit, she did not talk long enough, consequently did not place. In order to select the students to enter the scholarship' contest held in Havre, April 23, tests were given in the various classes to be represented, the two receiving the highest grades being the representatives. The names •of the students and the subjects they entered are as follows: English I—Mary Bowden, Mary Benbow. Algebra—Luella Larson, Gladys McDonald. Geometry—Helen Korner, Robert Collins. Current Events—Helen Mills, Ruth Green. American History—Myron Ensley. Dorris McMillan. Literature—Ruth Green, Dorris McMillan. Physics—Mildred McCoy, Celia Larson. Helen Mills and Emma Pokorny were to have written in World History and Ruth Green and Doris McMillan in Chemistry, but for some unknown reason the questions in these subjects did not arrive. Helen Korner tied for iirst place in Geometry, Mildred McCoy placed second in Physics, and Helen Mills third in Current History.

MILDRED McCOY, ’27 Several high school boys went .fishing and Elmer Liiidstrom, who was with them, never caught any fish. The boys caught him throwing his bait into the creek. They asked him the reason for doing this. He said: “I’m getting their confidence now; after while I’ll hook ’em.”
