Dorothy goes to the country to study for teachers exams-F CECILE LUNDELL-Side center. Choose lightning or Cecile, one's as fast as the other and they never strike twice in the same place.

F fry THE PROPHET I , , 4 l REPORT OF THE PROPHETSTOWN GIRLS' ATHLETIC' CLUB for the Season from Sept., 1922 to June 1923 liarly in October, the charter members of the Prophetstown Girls' Athletic Club held a meeting and decided to extend to all the girls in high school the privi- lege of belonging to the Club. All the girls in high school were asked to remain after school. Irma, Darlene, Dorothy and Livona told the advantages of belonging to the Association and they explained that it had more advantages than dis- advantages, as it didn't cost a cent to belong and we really had all sorts of fun during the whole school year. At this meeting all the girls in high school were given an opportunity to belong to the club. These people that actually signed up as members were to take part in all shows, entertainments and parties. Thirty- seven girls signed up. It was not necessary to play basketball to belong to the club, tho basketball was to be the main activity of the year. Wie had about forty dollars left over from last year to start our season with, but this was not as much as we needed, as we intended to buy a new basketball for our own use. We also decided to pay for the use of the gymnasium out of the association. It had always been the custom of the Congregational Church, to charge each girl that used the gym, a certain amount for each month. We felt that this kept some high school students from playing basketball, who would otherwise like to. So we made a contract with the Congregational Church for the use of their gymnasium four times a week from November 15th to hlarch 15th, for fifty dollars. Our athletic club was to pay the money in advance and every member of the club could play basketball without any personal expense. The club decided that the best way to raise the money was to have a show. About the middle of October, work began on a vaudeville show which we decided 1923
