The ROCKET 1928 Fail Baseball The fall was very rainy and Green Mountain only played two of their scheduled games. Green Mountain won from Albion early in the season 4 to 3. In the other game with Le Grand the local bays won 15 to 0. D. Lynk pitching for Green Mountain held them at all times while his mates were hitting the Le Grand pitcher freely.

The ROCKET 1928 Talks In Assembly High School has been very fortunate in being able to hear many instructive, speeches given by our business and professional men who are interested in progressive education. Rev. McGlashing has given two very inspiring talks. The first one was on the subject, Time, Preparation and Opportunities. He told us that in life we had time and in that time we must make preparation for the work we are going to do, so that we will be able to accept many opportunities that will come to us after we are out of school. The second one was on Habits and Ideals . He stressed that we form good habits and that we set our ideal or standard very high. Two talks of especial interest were, The Organization of a Bank by Mr. Nervig and Grain Buying and Selling Business by Mr. Lynch, manager of the Elevator. On November 10th., Mr. T. I ' . Low told us about the various playgrounds in America. He gave a very picturesque description of Gettysburg which was especially interesting. One more talk during first semester was given by Lev. Russell of the Chapel Church. His subject was, What Hast Thou in Thy Hand? He wished to have the student body get the thought of making use of whatever we have access to. During second semester we have had but one talk. Mr. Sprenger, of the Farmers Institute, told us of the European Corn Borer. He also showed specimens and told about its effects on the corn, thus impressing upon us more forcibly what a menace it is to the agricultural districts. Fifty-three
