Sports
Football season Is over and all
the S.H.S. students seem lost. But
they need not to look so forlorn be-
cause we have another Interesting
sport coming up that is as exciting
as football. This sport has been in
progress since 1891 and is becoming
more popular as the years roll by.
Basketball Is a sport loved by every-
one.
Our season of basketball has start-
ed and all the players are eager and
getting ready to play. The boys
team Is progressing and has a good
prospect of winning the tourna-
ments they enter. The girls are al
so progressing and they are hoping
to have a swell season. It certainly
would help the players, If at the
games the school body and the peo
pie as a whole would turn out, back-
ing them up to the last point of
the last game In the season.

When a soil rests on the parent
rock strata from which it was
largely formed it is called resi-
dual. When the soil is composed
of materials removed from their
place of formation by winds, gla-
ciers or streams, it is termed
transported.

furnish you a sack. Bring your sacks for your apples as sacks are practically
gone. To save sacks is just as patriotic as buying war bonds. It is not the fault
of the merchant so please cooperate with them.
