The season was climaxed by a wonderful showing in the district tournament at Portland, being one of the last four teams to remain in the running. In the seventeen games played, Kirkland scored a total of 502 points, while holding their opponents to 237 points. In the district tournament •hiA- scored 54 points to their opponents 30.

' eagers obtained sweet revenge for this defeat, however, by handing the Decatur team a 14-12 defeat in the' district tourney. Rock Creek defeat-* ed Kirkland early in the season, 20-17 i 1 in a hard-fought game. Later Kirkland' downed Rock Creek, 50-16. The largest score piled up during the season was at the'expense of the Wren, Ohio, team, the final count being. 68 to 0. The following players will be lost through graduation next spring: Alton Corson, forward; Larwell Shady, guard; Kenneth Yager, utility forward; Charles Yager, forward; and Cheatej Byerly, guard.

Credit Due Mr. Church Worlds of < rftlit for the wonderful concerts rendered by the choir is due the director. Mr. Church. He is recognixed as one of the greatest boy choir directors in Indiana and surrounding states. He has made a particular study of boy voice, only recently returning from Europe where he spent considerable time studying. Mr. Church is an organist of great note, also. He is the organist at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, in Fort Wayne. The boys attend rehearsals throe nights every week and no excuses are accepted except for sickness. Discipline Is one of the points slresstsl by Mr. Church. No admission was charged for the ((invert last night, but a silver offering netted $53 which was turned over to the luiys. It is hoped that Mr. Church will bring his choir liack to Decatur in the near future for another concert. Mr. Church stated that if the chotr returned it likely would render that great oratorla, "The Mess iah." ’ > 1 1 YEH. tiietv Is a tornado eomiiu we don't suy when.
