LAUREL — The high school basketball season closed with victories for both boys and girls when they defeated the Allen teams last Wednesday night.
The local girls simply outclassed the visitors, and the final score being 40-1 for Laurel.
Agusta Evers played her first game as a regular for Laurel and proved to be of varsity caliber.
Augusta will be able to fill the jumping center position next year and thus help fill the position vacated by Gusta Bruggeman who will graduate this spring.
The Laurel girls have had another wonderful season this year. Hartington has been the only team to defeat them.
Two stars, Mae Papenhausen and Gusta Bruggeman will be lost by graduation. There is a wealth of splendid material left however and a strong girls team should continue for another year.
Miss Surber who has coached the team the past two years deserves credit for this splendid record.
The Laurel boys defeated the Allen team by a final score of 16-11. The game was close and in doubt until the last.
At the end of the third quarter the score was 9-9. The last few minutes were real ball and the local boys made a spurt that brought the victory.
The boys have won every game played on the local floor and have lost all games on foreign floors.

LAUREL — The members of the Masonic lodge enjoyed a banquet at the Presbyterian church last Thursday evening.
The banquet was served by the ladies of the Eastern Star lodge. According to many veteran banqueters, it was one of the best banquets from a gastronomical point of view held in recent years. Delicious food, tastily served, appeared in abundance.
In addition, the guests enjoyed two intellectual treats from Rev. H. J. Moore and Rev. H. C. Seidel, who briefly spoke to the guests at the conclusion of the meal. All members adjourned to the lodge rooms to finish a session of work begun in the afternoon—that of raising from candidate to the Master degree.
