BASEBALL This year we planned to go to Strong by train for the basketball game. However, as satisfactory arrangements could not be made, trucks were used instead. Both the boys' and girls' games were well played and ex- citing. Coming home the truck with the two teams in it broke down two miles below New Vineyard. They had to wait until the other truck could get back from Kingfield to take them home. Several of the boys walked all the way home instead of waiting. Finally the other truck arrived, the trouble was found and repaired and both trucks got home at three o'clock in the morning. NIACAZINE Drove A magazine drive was put on again this year at our school by the Crowell Publishing Company.
