Items Concerning the Grades The Grammar Room's first issue of their paper was ready to be read October 3. There was a long discussion as to what the paper should be named. Many names were suggested, but Sunshine seemed to appeal to everyone. The seventh and the eighth grades issue the paper on the third of each month. The fifth and the sixth grades contribute stories and jokes. New officers were elected every two months. Our paper seems to be improving each Month.

' OUR BASKET BALL TEAM School had not been in session more than two months when the basket ball question came before the whole school. The grade team was organized the first part of December with the following lineup: Earl Weimer, Cen- terg Alvin Degunther and Lowell Phillips, Forwards, Edwin Gunderson and Kendall Bradley, Guards, while Elmer Lestikow and Willie Brault acted as substitutes. The schedule for the first part of the season was shifted several times caused by so many cases of the mumps. We played three games, winning each one. Two other games were scheduled with Pecatonica, but were postponed and finally cancelled. We are looking for- ward to a much better season next year. L. P. L. M. and E. G. D. R. Page Thirty-One
