the high school mirror -’ll Mondovi High School Boys 24, Alumni Boys 11 That inter class basket ball alone, ofevtu basket ball between local teams, would be very unsatisfactory was clearly demonstrated on New Year’s afternoon, when the High School and Alumni clashed for the third consecutive year. The Rime, while well played aud fast, was marr d by some rough work during the first half. With this the only game, at present, in prospect for tbe entire season, and with the correspond-ing lack of practice due to this fact, holding was much in evidence. This is a feature of the great indoor game which generally leads to rough work Before this year the Alumni have played this annual game with a view to giving the high school team a much needed holiday practice, and to help along the finances of the Athletic Associa tiou. This year the first motive was lacking and the result was a somewhat unsatisfactory game from the standpoint of the spectators. Everyone ueeds an incentive, and when the incentive is removed, efficiency cau not be secured. The game was featured bv the free throwing of Farriugton who added the point 8 out of 9 times, the floor work of Farrington and the Howard brother , the guarding of alker aud the close playing of Lockwood. For the Alumni Ruff's field basket, the work of Merritt and Solberg in the breaking up play , and the all around work of Broadfoot and Ellenberger stood out prominently. The Alumni were stronger at c ose work, while the high school team featured the open game The high school team showed flashes of fast team wor k which was really remarkable considering the fact that only 4 practices had been held before the game. Over 42 was taken iu, and about $25 realized after expenses were paid, which sum will be a great help to the Athletic Association. Line-ups: M. H. S. (Boys) Alumni (Boys) Lyle Howard L. F.

THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR 21 SP—:—f 1' 1 Doing? in the Departments 1--------------- DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. Verna E. Gillen, Instructor. :T1 S J 1 he course called Domestic Science, which is given in 0ur school, is in leality Domestic Economy, which is made up of two parts of Domestic Science and Domestic Art. Iuder Domestic Science is found the study of food and food principles, cooking, physiology, home nursing, chemistry, and household management. Domestic Art includes the study of art needlework, plain sewing, dressmaking, millinery, and textiles. Everything studied in the course is put into actual practice, so that it can be applied in the home. One of the chief aims is to leach the systematizing of work and the economy of materials and time. In cooking especial attention is given to the selection of material as to the qualitv regarding nutrition, the best method of preparation and combination, and Iasi, but very important, the serving. The Snow Drafting System is the one which is used in the sewing department of the school. My the use of this system patterns can be made for all garments, no matter what shape, size or style. I lie system consists of a scroll, by the aid of which all curved lines are perfected; a square, which is used to draw straight lines; a testing scale, to test the patterns after they have been completed; a tracer, to mark the seams: a set of measurements, tape measure, skirt chart, and instruction books. Drafting teaches the proportion and curves of the body; the designing of complicated patterns from foundation patterns and the use of patterns. 1 his work will appeal at once as being practical and the kind which will be used in after life, but it is no more practical than the other work done in this department. I his being the first year of the course, the work from the sixth grade through the two years of the high school must at the best have a sameness, as the foundation must be laid all along the line. I hit after this course has been in operation for a few years and the work which should be done in the sixth and seventh grade is done there, there will be a continued series of work from the sixth grade through the high school which will give the girl an insight into the relations of the home to the world at large, and which can not help but make them intelligent buyers of the necessities of life. Not alone will this course make the girls more intelligent buvers. which certainly is an important thing in the present day. but it will make them able to eliminate many little expenditures, such as the average dressmaking bill, etc. It will also make them see the true importance of the work of the home, and we hope that what is often called the drudgery of the home will be called the calling of the home-maker. Remember that visitors arc always welcome. If you wish to see the work in cooking, you can come either on Monday or Wednesday ; if vou wish to se ihe work in sewing, come on Tuesday or Thursday. If vou wish to see the girls at the work of cleaning up, then Friday is your day.
