SYRACUSE HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Item? of Interest Concerning Oar High School Written for The Syracuse Journal. \ A large number of the stu- | ' dents attended the basket ball v tournament at Mentone Friday and Saturday. Although we did j not win the tournament the I team was awarded the sportsmanship cup which was given to the team lowing good sportsmanship in all their games, in the dressing rooms, on the street and in the feonies where the stayed. also the sportsman like attitude fans accompanying them. W>nday morning Leon Connolly, the captain of the team, presented the cup to the high school, making a Aort speech. After Mr. Slabaugh. the catch, spoke, the high school gave several of their yelk and sang the high school song. The cup will be kept in the cabinet, whfich was made for the cup. which was won in county tournaments by the teagns of ’2O-’2l tmd ’2l-’22, but was lost the neat year to another team. This cabinet is in the upper hall. Because of the snow storm last Wednesday night three achooi hacks were unable to travel over the roads Thursday morning. Very few of the pupils who came in these hacks were able to STCt through.with their own cars. This has greatly lowered the perfect attendance record. '■ Perfect attendance thus far: Seniors—Phyllis Miller. ' Margaret Freeman; Juniors- —Harold Bobeck. Robert Brown. Ray Kehr. Elisabeth McClintic; Sophomores—Maxwell Brower. Frederick Clayton, Junior Miller; Fres hm e n —Phyllis Druckamiller, Mary Geiger. Marjorie Kline. Phyllis Mock. Pauline Wogoman: Eighth Grade— Lucile Folk. Martha Gordy.

Mamie * Receiving the sportsmanship , cup made quite an unpression on the minds of some of the pupils. A junior girl, asking what her citizenship grade was. said. “Miss Hamman, what •is toy ,sportsmanship grade?’’ The basket ball team Will not play any games this week. DANCE HALLAT WINONA! A dance hall near Winona may be built or not —probably not. Samuel Farrell, who was once candidate for nomination for Sfhte Senator from Wabash and Kosciusko counties, is said to have announced that he proposed to build and operate a large dance hall just outside the limits of Winona. This is a radical variance with the principles that have been so long held at Winona. ■' Strenuous apposition to the project has been brought by the better citizens of Winona and Warsaw. Post L of the Travelers Protective Association, located at Whrsaw. passed a resolution at its last meeting condemning such a move. But the opposition does not end here. Sheriff Milo Maloy stated on Monday that botb himself and Prosecuting Attorney Morrison Rockhill are strongly opposed to the operation of any dance hall on the' west shore of Winona Lake. “You may state,” said the sheriff, “that if a dance hall is opened anywhere on Winona Lake both myself and the prosecuting attorney will enforce every law on the statute books relative to dhnce halls, and Sunday observance. We .are not opposed to dancing, but we are opposed to having any dance hall in operation anywhere close to Winona Lake, a religious institu- \ tio>n.“ ; & E. 8. NOTICE f .

SYRACUSE INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1926.

REVIVAL MEETINGS I The revival meeetings at the Methodist church, which have been in progress for the past two weeks, are creating a great interest in the city and community. Rev. J. H. Royer, the pastor, who is delivering the discourses from night to night is bringjpg to his hearers the gospehjE*.'sage, which is awakenold spirit in the members* and creating new spirit in the members. . Another one of the big features of the meetings are the song services conducted by Rev. and Mrs. E. P. White. On Monday night the dhunchi was filled to capacity to hear the program given by the children. Every diild took some part in the program, which consisted of piano s' los, vocal solos, etc. One of the most interesting points was when Rev. White asked his class to name the books in the old testajment, the books in the new testament, how many chapters 1 in the Bible, how many letters tin the Bible, and a number of other difficult questions. As fast ns the questions were asked the children, in concert, would answer them. It seemed marvelous how the children answered the questions so rapidly, and in such perfect order. Mr. and Mrs. White deserve much credit and praise for their untiring efforts in training the children and creating an interest in church relations that will cling to them through- life. > The meetings will close on Sundhy night of this week, which will end a -three weeks' revival.

The Grand Matron, Mrs. Jeanette Punnell. w’s given a welcome by all. who, after the work of the evening was over, gave a very interesting and instructive address to the Chapter members.

OBITUARY The following is taken from the Hill City (Minn.) News of A giuary 14, concerning the di&ath of a. former Syracuse citizen: The community was shocked Tuesday morning when word went out that P. J. Mullin had died suddenly early that morning. Mr. Mullin had been about town Monday night, greeting friends and joking with them, and on going home went to bed apparently feeling his usual self. At midnight he got up and Mrs. Mullin reports that he was apparently feeling all right, and he went to bed and slept until toward four o’clock when Mrs; Mullin noticed that he was breathing heavily. She shook him and he turned over, gave one gasp and his spirit wrent to meet his Maker. Peter Joseph Mullin was born at Syracuse, Kosciusko couhty. Ind., March 29, 1856. He lived there for 35 years and while there he ‘was married to Susan Elizabeth Searfoss. To this union one child. Robert Mullin, now living at Grand Rapids, Micht, was born. From Syracuse the family moved to a homestead near Williston, N. D. After residing there some time, they went to the state of Washington, then to CLnada, and back to Indiana, coming to this section in 1917, and they lived here since that time, living first on the Jeff Leibold farm at the head of Hill Lake, for three years, then for three years on the C. F. Kaiser place a mile north of town and since that time in the house which: they bought and in which they made their home until -the time of his death. Mr. Mullin was what e might be ’ called a young old man. for though nearing 70 years of age he was active and strong and did his day’s work alongside; of younger men. and he Was always jolly and congenial He was held in high esteem by all who knew him* and that included every man, woman and child who hhs lived in Hill City for any length of time, and he will be missed by a large circle of friends. z He is survi 'widow and his only son, Robert.

THINGS TO ! THINKABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on . the Surface. 4 . —LDon’t Believe It. 4 Don’t believe the man or woman who says this is “a Godless age” and that folks nowdays care nothing about religion. It is true that there is more need for religion today than there ever. 1 was. but we believe that this demand is being fully met. The average man is interested in religion, often to a deeper extent than you know. He doesn’t go j around talking and bragging about his religion., bub the average man tries to lead a good and honest life. That goes for the" | average woman and girl, too. Church statistics show increased membership, and there are other things to contradict the fellow who says we’re living in "a Gcd- | less age.” Do not lose faith tn your fellowttnan by believing it. He may not go to church as often as he should, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t leading a descent life. Turn a deaf ear tp those who would cripple oujr moral life by painting disagreeable and untruthful pictures.* Yes: “Boost ’Er!” Be a booster, like the rqpsifer; tell it to the world; crow still louder, yell more harder, tote your flag unfurled; if by mis- ” chance you’ve a grievance keep it to yourself; do not air it for a minute—keep it on the shelf; no one’s sighing, .no one’s crying over your sniall woes; keep ’em covered —keep, ’em smothered ’till they decompose; if you scowl and whine and growl, friends you’ll never find —Hide your face in a lemon case and live among your kind.
