The o7Wonitor. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM. Miss Snyder. Leibea, Shrader. Bartlett. Query, Gooden, Shrader, Epes, Colton. I'affo Twenty-eight Girls’ Basket Ball Team HK Basket Ball season started out this year with a very good V J showing. At our first practice twenty were present. We decided that each class should have a team. After several weeks of hard work, the Sophomores chalicneged the Freshmen to a game. The honors were carried away from the Sophs by the little Freshies. Since the Freshmen and S pin-mores had started it. the Juniors and Seniors began to battle for the honor. The Juniors ran away from the Seniors and hurried to catch up with the Freshmen. The great strife was now on between the Juniors and the Freshmen. They fought for fifteen minutes and the score was six to twelve in favor of the freshmen. After a few minutes rest the teams started again as the whistle blew, the Freshmen shot a field goal and when the final whistle blew the score was 14 to 16 in their favor. I he captain and coach selected eight of their best players from the class teams which made up the High School team, the girls did good work together. Only one game was played during the season, with the Stromsbms High School team on Osceola’s floor. This being the last game of the season the people of ()sceola and Stromsburg came out in great numbers to see the game. At the end of the first half the score was 10 to 6 in favor of the O. H. S. girls. In the next half the score was 19 to 9. Maude Gooden and Hazel Cotton did their duty as forwards, while Myrtle Bartlett and Beulah l-.pes made excellent guards and Deborah I-eibee and Bernice Shrader did their parts in center. The coach. Miss Sender, helped the girls by teaching them many new plays. Most of the girls will lx in scho 1 next year and we hope the basket ball team of the year, 1917 will lx a great success.

Piijct Thirty The cyVIonitor Editorials SOCIALIZED RECITATION. The Socialized Recitation method has been adopted by the Osceola 11igh School and in some of the Grammar Grades. Naturally at first it seemed difficult to become acquainted with this method but after practice it has proven to the pupils that they must not only get facts from their text but develop their minds in other lines. I-'acts from the texts also remain longer in the mind if discussed as the individual repeats his point and hears it repeated also. Concentration of the mind is necessary in socialized recitation as it requires active thinking on the part of the pupil to answer his questions. ( hitside reading is required if one text book will not contain the necessary amount of lata for the student to prove his question. Timidness is overcome as the pupil passes over that stage when forced day after day to stand before his class and recite. Although this socialized recitation method is new it has proven its value in one short year and will no doubt improve next year as this very desirable method is to be need. HIGH SCHOOL SPIRIT. High Sclmol must contain the right kind and amount of spirit in order to he successful. The interest would not he taken in school if it were not for the school activities. Taking part in these does not mean that the pupil should neglect bis studies. Athletics, taking part in literary societies. High School paper work, debating, contests and all work pertaining to the school are beneficial localise they are educational and help the school in that they cause more interest in the work. Everyone knows that the High School would not have so many pupils enrolled if it were not for these activities for what would the school be if all were “grinds. Roosting. taking part and pushing forward all school activities make the right High School spirit and it is this kind of spirit that dwells in the Osceola High School.
