14 THE OCKSHEPERIDA prise. Many of the pupils spent their vacations out of town and came back on .Monday u ith glowing accounts of good times. Me were all very sorry to hear of Miss Furr's illness and that she had licen compelled to give up teaching. It has been reported that she has tuberculosis. but the doctors think it is only asthmatic trouble. Miss Furr hopes to continue her work in a little over i year from now. Mrs. Vernon Griffith is substituting until a permanent teacher can l e secured in Miss Furr’s place. Mrs. Griffith taught here formerly. , On New Year’s eve our basket ball team played Buffalo High at that place. The score was 29 to 11 in favor of Buffalo. but when we realize that our boys had had ’ less than two weeks’ practice. we think they did very well. A return game to be played here on Friday. January 16. has been scheduled. On Wednesday evening a stereopti con lecture was given in the High School Assembly by Miss Johnson. She has traveled extensively through l.urope and talked very entertainingly o. Switzerland. The slides, which were very Ireauti fully colored, were loaned by the Keystone Company, from whom we intend to buy slides. The lecture was not as well attended as t should have been, as it was well worth while. The proceeds of the entertainment were $10.50. The Glee Club has settled down to hard work and is well attended, usually. A ruling was made at the first of the year to drop anyone who was absent from a meeting more than three times during the year without a good excus.x and this is going to be carried out. The Club is planning some good tipies to begin in the near future. The Boys’ Music Class is still working faithfully and learning rapidly. Roy Hildebrand has proven to l e fine on high tenor, and George Johnson on second bass. They are singing several dassical pieces, including the “Bud frog on the Bank” ami “Sunday Fi-1.-ing.” Much time has been spent teaching the lioys to read music. EXCHANGES By Louise Enochs. Well, here we are again among our “New 1914 Exchange.” They all seem to be greatly improved, more interesting. and larger, both in size and ideas ,M1 must have made some “good res lutions.” A new exchange for the new year is “The Noreaster.” from Kansas Citv.

The “Argus” has bad perhaps the longest journey of our exchange, coming from Vancouver. Your Athletic Department is fine, but more good stories would make a great improvement. The “Live Wire” has certainly made a resolution. Your paper has improved. The S. H. S. is proud to see the name so frequently mentioned of a Sheridan graduate, Bernice Stevens, in the “Almanack from Kerry Hall, Lake Forest. IvxciIknt stories and athletic news are the good features of The Penn Charter Magazine.” In a number of the recent exchanges The Ockshcperida is listed and commented on. In “'Pbe Forum. from .St. Joseph, Mo., was the following: “The Ock- shcperida, Ouch! from Sheridan. Wyo. Guess our name is as puzzci-ing as some others. Athletics By Leo Doyle. The first basket ball game was scheduled between Sheridan High and Buffalo High for January i. The trip to Buffalo was made in two autos both of which broke down several times. One had several punctures and “Chick who is an expert mechanic did all the pumping up of tires. Mr. Forsythe was forced to get 011 and push in the other one because it had to make all the bills on high. The trip going took some four or five hours. The game was played in the Blffalo armory. The Sheridan boys were at some disadvantage because the floor was so slippery and they had no boundary except on one side. At the end of the first half the score stood five to thirteen in Buffalo’s favor and at the end of the last half each side about doubled their score, making it twenty-nine to eleven. Buffalo had the ball most of the time but the Sheridan boys displayed verv good team work. The Sheridan players scored as follows: Cope. Center—Two baskets. McMaken, L. Guard—One basket. Addelman. R. Guard—One basket and one free throw. Granger. R. Forward—One basket. Brown, L. Forward. Lonabaugh, Reynolds, and Thorn were substitutes. Jeffers, umpire: Forsythe, referee. I he Buffalo High School gave a dance following the game and it w i
