The Seniors were--on the lookout, and had two of their mem bers sitting on the lid of the man hole, so that the'Juniors couldn't get on the roof to get their Hag down. The Juniors procured a large step lad- der and one Junior boy braced himself i and pushed with all.lfis might, break- ing some of the plaster off around the man-hole. But just the same the l Juniors got the flag down. Some bright Sophomore rain down the street, thus carrying the Senior and Sopho-y more flags to safety. The Juniors put their flag up then, and it stayed there for seve-ral days. fy J 'At ' the basket-ball, and base-ball games and track mee-ts, the students showed their loyalty and school spirit by cheeringand yelling for their good old' school. At the first of the year, a great-number of yells were made and collected and every mem- ber of the high school given a copy. Then for -several, mornings the two assemblies would join 'together in a good old yell. an g h c Your Home The home you have long planneidc to build should express and satisfy your individual. taste and requirernentsg- - It should be 'prac- , ' lp tical, 1 as well as' beautiful, and not ' more ' costly than you can well afford.. ,A V - We are interested in helping your secure an -entirely satisfactoryhome 'f at reasonable - day night after school.

Tom and Stephen were leaders, taking all firsts, and figured chiefly in bringing victory to M. H. S. The score at the close stood 15 to 5. ' I 'Following the track meet, an air- tight ball game ensued, in whfch both teams showed talent every minute of the play. Platte Center had 'the same umpire they had the last game played between the two towns, and he performed tiueilo his reputation, call- ing Monroe men out even when Platte Center players admitted 'they were safe.

Why, ,Duncan High school crack: track team clashed with the Monroe High sc'hcol. Events we.re re- ceived' by the crowd in an enthusiastic manner because of the intense rivalry between the two schools.

X . - A friendly game was waged among ourselves, Friday, April 4 on the High school diamond. This practice game showed our weakest ipoints which we hope to improve ina short time. Only five innings were 'played because of the lack of time. Batteries: 'McWil- liams and Kelly: Rupp andilaightner. The final score was 2 to 1 in favor of Kellyis team. , - The Duncan High school' and' our boys were engaged for al five inning ,bout Friday May 2nd. Batteries: Blaser and Soekelg Rupp and Bitter. Though our boys were beaten 7 to 0, we do not feel in anyway discouraged because of our little practice combin- ed with' the prowess of the'Duncan High school--veterans. We have hopes however of doing better inthe near future. . ' 4 . J ' Basket ,Ball I Although the score rbooklof the Mon- ree .High school. ..,- basket -:ball team shows more defeats than victoiries, the team has, considering the material, made a fairly good, showing. This year the basket ball team caneisteqd of only one experienced playoff and the ieinaining men were rather green ma- terial. 'P Q The first game of the season was a liaitl fought battle with- the Duncan cagers on the local floor. It took three extra five minute periods to de- cide who wasto be the victor. Dun- can linally capping it by a 6-fl score. Next came the return game at Dun- can between the same teams.. Dun- can determined to take this game al- so, played their coach in the last half and won 28-4. Luck was still far from the hands of the local tossers, and they dropped another fgame, this time to the Co- lumbus 'Rotary club of Columbus. A Q Then, the tide turned and Monroe won a 7-6 victory from Havens. This game, although it was not made by a large score, put morelconfidence into the players., . :Thetreturn game 'at Havens -was the next played. The Havens referee seemed to 'think he had eyes on all corners -,of his head ,and while the teams .were in action, he would con- verse with the spectators, and would call fouls, held-balls, etc, while his back was turned to the playing, be- sides many other rotten dec:EsIons. He gave, Havens the game, .9-8. . V .- F'- . ' , 7 February 16 'wasfthle Adare .Set -for the 'tri-county 'tournament heldi at Columbus, ,in which the locals partici- pated. Here they dropped two more games, one to.Colum'bus 16-4, andan- other to Duncan 14-7. i The Columbus Reserves were book- ed to meet the M. H..S. cage-rs on the local floor. , This game was -taken from the visitors by a 16-10 score: , ' The locals lost another game in ,the hands of the Columbus Rotary club, in the return game at Columbus. The M. H. S. tossers were not used.-to such a large,f1OQr and at timeswere com- pletely lost. , The next game waswith a pick-up team from around -town. The purpose of this game was to raise -funds so the locals could participate in the state basket-ball tournament. A large crowd attended and' saw the High school hand the pickings a '27-0 loss. Then came the state tournamentl' It was the first basket-ball team in-the history ,- of the Monroe High -school that ever attended such a great event M.: H. -S. was.in class,O, and, was booked against Phillips, who defeated our 'men 24-81.

Our paper's success was. due to the, responsiblity and-. in- terest taken by .our teachers and gothic hard work of 'our editor-in-chief.
