A Short Story contest was conducted during the month of January in the interest of the iLterary Department of the Jack Of Lantern. The judges, Miss Weber, Mr. Howe and Rev. Hinkelman had a hard time deciding upon the best story, but finally their decision rested upon Helen Dickey's'story, A Triple Tragedy. Marcella Chap1in's story My Pretty Flapper Wife took second prize. A Literary Joust by Dorothy Pidgeon, was considered too fine to be overlooked, and al- though it did not contain all the rudiments of a short story, the Judges decided that it was to be published in the J ack O' Lantern Literary Department, with the short stories. .

g THE JACK O' LANTERN gain IQ -W ajax Basket Ball Houtzdale High School opened their basket ball season of 25-26 very successfully and kept up at a high ,rate of speed until the last game away from home, with Bellefonte. If they would have won this 'game it is likely that they wouldihave won the Mountain League Cup. But unfortunately they lost it. This happened to be the second time that Houtzdale High was so unfortunate as to lose the cup in the last game or two. The tirst time was in'the season. of 23-24 when their last league game decided the championship and they lost it. This season our boys -put up a hard battle in every game: only in one game didi the opponents succeed in givng our boys a bad beating. In the othergames the score was very close and tied as high as a dozen times during a single game. And also twice they lost games when their opponents dropped a basket in the last 15 or 20 seconds. No matter how far behind or how far ahead our boys were--they never thought of giving up. They took- a defeat as cheerfully as a victory for they knew it was only a good team that could stand a beat- lflg. : Herewith -is presented a brief summary of the games played during the season- 5 ..v.
