School Dept.

The ballots on school and community dances are out and we hope you will return them before Nov. 23 as the committee will count them at 8 p.m. on that date. If by any chance a family with children in school did not get a ballot, please let me know. One ballot is sent to each family.

Mr. Larsen of the Ft. Peck Agency brought Mr. Samuel Thompson of Washington, D.C., up to our school on Monday. Mr. Thompson is special supervisor for the Indian Bureau at Washington. His reports on our chances for a new building are very encouraging. The increase in our Indian enrollment impressed him with the necessity of getting action in the near future. Our hot lunch problem and also transportation problem were discussed. Mr. Thompson said he would do all in his power to secure aid for the Indians here.

Miss Zula L. Davisson of West Virginia and Chicago and Mildred Moffett of Columbus, Ohio were here on Monday.

Roland Zimmerman is absent because of a broken shoulder blade. He was playing front-lawn football. We shall be glad to see you back Roland.

A number of the students were granted permission to attend the football game at Poplar Monday afternoon. From all reports, it was high-class football. We congratulate Poplar on trimming the powerful Miles City eleven.

Poplar should have another crack basketball team this year. The loss of Archdale at the end of this semester will off-set our loss of Wilfred Smith who broke a bone in his leg during the football season. Both are top guards.

Volley ball season will be open Monday evening in the high school gym. All men are invited to join this club and grow young again.

Clifford Johnson is attending the Scout executive meeting at Miles City on Thursday and Friday of this week.

The seniors opened the basketball season on Wednesday of this week. Girls' basketball will begin next Monday after school. Over 100 boys have signed up for basketball. This means a strenuous season.

The Wolves ended their gridiron season by defeating their Wolf Alumni 14-6. It was the Wolves' fifth victory in seven games. The game was characterized by the usual characteristics of an alumni game. Teamwork and condition enabled the wolves to cross the alumni goal line twice during the game. Experience and especially good sportsmanship characterized the alumni organization. Both teams gained by line plunges. Smith and Burnison both making substantial gains. Junior Clayton was the outstanding ground gainer for the wolves.
