Ligonier Boys 21 LaGrange Boys 14 4 LaGrange Girls 18 . Ligonier Girls 5 ' If Friday evening’s atendance is a sample of what is to follow a much larger room will be necessary to accommodate the crowds.

That the Ligonier public is behind the basketball team is mow clearly demonstrated by the support given Friday night’s games. . . -

The interest and enthusiasm is not confined to the school pupils and faculty. It extends to the public all of which is a help and an inspiration to the members of the teams.

Friday night’s contests were a demonstration of clean sport such as is expected from school pupils of a high class. : :

The fact that the high school band advertises the game by playing down town and furnishes music during the performances does much to increase the attendance.

{ THE STEADY SUBSRCIBER The Banner Has Him in Countless ~ Numbers But There Are Others More Indifferent. The Banner is indebted to the Eastern Star—lndianapolis for Lhé? following poem. : The Steady Subscriber How dear to our hearts is the steady - subscriber, Who pays in advance at the birth of " the year, Who lays down the money and does it guite gladly, ‘ / And cast round the office a halo of cheer!

He never says“ Stop it I cannot afford it, ‘ I'm getting more paper now than I can read.” But always says :“Send it; our people all like it— In.fact, we think it a help and a need” How welcome his check when it reachs our sanctum, . How it makes our pulse throb; how it - makes our heart dance! : We outwardly thank him; we inward- ' ly bless him,— The steady subscriber who pays in advance. \ - The Dog WaS Killed. " The following story is taken from the Cromwell Advance: _ “Not until after the dog had killed 105 chickens and lacerated 15 others so badly they died the next day was Edward Hapner farmer residing near Oswego on Tippecanoe Lake able to kill a huge yellow canine a few nights ago. ‘ - ~ “The dog came to the Hapner barnvard late in the night while the family was at Leesburg. As they arrived home in their car the Hapners heard a commotion in the barnyard and near the chicken house. " Mr. Hapner. investigated and as he appeared at thd parnyard gate the agile body of some animal leaped past him in the dark, The hogs, horses chickens ducks and other fowls were In a state of panic, As he looked about in the dark the unknown killer leaped past Hapner again and he called to his wife to bring his gun. Once more the killer leaped past him /but Hapner got a line on the swiftly moving. form in the darkness and fired. The heavy charge killed ithe- raider. Investigation showed it was a huge yellow dog of the collie variety but had not been seen in the neighborhood before and it’s owner is unknown.”

~ Harold Lloyd at the Crystal,, . "How much brighter would be tHe darker side of life if we could: only turn to it with a smile on our face! {t’s trmendously good advice, but dif- , ficult to practice. Harold Lloyd has won- his.remarkable reputation as a comecdian” who makes you laugh at misfortune. Once troubles are reflected in his laughing glass they're illumined by humor that is fresh and clea.chourageous and beautiful. College life of course offers endless possibilities for humor but the fun that Harold Lloyd has put into “The Freshmen” Theatre is more the story of the life of one character aj: college rather than generalizing the life of a big institution of learning. Lloyd portrays a certain type of yeuth-—a boy who has builded -high, noble ideals for himself and seeks to achieve them among people unsympathetic toward his ambitions and only * seeing in him easy prey to their jokes, Harold Lloyd is something of a “Grandma’g Boy,” and “The Freshman”’ aims to be a serio-comic drama of that rare type.
