Committees From Legislature Visit Winter Shows

Committees from the Senate and the Minnesota House of Representatives were honor guests at the Red River Valley Winter Shows on Wednesday, February 5. The members of the leg- islature visited the Northwest School during the morning and later partici- pated in a radio broadcast from the Industrial Building at the Winter Shows which went out over Radio Station KFJM, Grand Forks. The legislators were honored guests at the Livestock Association banquet which was held on Wednesday evening and for the evening program at which time Ernest K. Lind- ley of Washington was the speaker.

The committee from the Senate was headed by Senator Alfred Solstad of Fisher; Representative George Hagen of Crookston was the leader of the group from the House. Other members of the committee present were: Senator Ancher Nelson of Hutchinson; Senator A. H. Miller of Hopkins; Representative J. J. Dunn of St. Peter, Representative J. P. Lorentz of Wadena; Representative Edward Hagen, Milan; Representative Albert Dominick, of Pierce, and Repre- sentative Howard Ottinger, of Chaska.

School Mystery A mystery of several weeks has not

yet been solved by “sleuths” at the Northwest School. The cooperation of alumni in Lake of the Woods County, especially in Baudette, is solicited to solve the mystery.

On January 31, Registrar J. W. Mlinar received in the mail a score of music and words for a new school song titled “Shine On Northwest School.” Accom- panying the music were two school yells submitted by the same enthusiastic individual. To this date we have been unable to ascertain the name of the writer of the song. The envelope bore the postmark of Baudette and was dated January 29. No notations were found on the sheet of music and sheet of yells except “with best wishes.”

The school is very anxious to give credit and recognition to the composer of the song. Help us solve the mys-

Basketball Season Closes Although their record in the won and

lost column is none too impressive, the Northwest School’s basketball squad has been playing an excellent brand of ball since the opening of the winter term. An analysis of the games and scores shows that several defeats have been suffered by the narrowest margins and a break or two in some of the games would have turned the tables. This is especially true in games played at the very end of the season when the Aggies lost three important games by one or two points.

A summary of games played since the opening of the winter term is: Jan- uary 6-Argyle 24, Northwest Aggies, 13; January 10-Roseau 10, Northwest Aggies 10; January 15-Roseau 25, Northwest Aggies 20; January 18- Crookston 20, Northwest Aggies 14; January 24-Alumni 29, Northwest Ag- gies 36; January 28-Fosston 42, North- west Aggies 30; January 31-Morris 29, Northwest Aggies 25; February 1-St. Paul 40, Northwest Aggies 25; Febru- ary 8-Grand Rapids 28, Northwest Ag- gies 32; February 14-Grand Rapids 16, Northwest Aggies 29; February 18- Erskine 32, Northwest Aggies 36; Feb- ruary 21-Crookston High 31, North- west Aggies 30; February 22-St. Paul Aggies 40, Northwest Aggies 39; Feb- ruary 24-Warren High 30, Northwest Aggies 28.

The basketball season comes to a close on Friday, February 28, with Sacred Heart High of East Grand Forks engaging the Northwest Aggies in the Northwest School gymnasium.

Wrestling Season Closes March First

With the annual Ag School Confer- ence tournament scheduled for March 1 at Morris, Coach E. F. Bennett has been giving the Northwest School’s wrestling squad members intensive daily workouts. To date three meets with conference rivals have been held in preparation for the tournament.

For the first meet the Northwest Ag- gies travelled to Grand Rapids on Feb- ruary 8, and after competing in all eight divisions the Northwest School squad divided honors with the North Central Aggies, both schools scoring 15 points each. One week later the Grand Rapids wrestlers appeared in the North- west gym and this time North Central garnered 17 points to Northwest’s 13.

On February 22 wrestlers from the Central School in St. Paul engaged the Northwest outfit at Crookston and garnered 24 points to Northwest School’s 10 points.

A final inter-school practice meet prior to the tournament is scheduled for Tuesday, February 25, with Crookston High School.

When the tournament is played at Morris, March 12, the Northwest School will have entries in all eight divisions:

Hockey Seasons Ends March 3 Three games remain on the hockey

schedule for the Northwest School's pucksters before the curtain is finally rung down on Monday, March 3. Five games have been played to date and the Aggies have scored one victory and suffered four defeats.

Opening the season on January 11 the Aggies took a 7-1 defeat at the hands of a fast skating Roseau High School team. On January 24, the North- west team again was defeated by a 7-1 score, this time by Hallock High School. One week later a return game was scheduled with the latter team and Hallock returned victorious this time by a 4-1 count.

The first victory of the season was scored on February 8 over Central High of Crookston by a 4-0 count.

For the fifth game the Aggies, minus several regulars, surprised their most ardent rooters by their fine showing against the fast Roseau team. Although the Aggies were again defeated, this time by a 10-4 count, their work brought much praise from spectators. Acting Captain Lloyd Lund scored four goals for the Aggies-a fifth goal by the same individual being nullified be- cause of an off-side and the sixth shot at the net also by Lund missed its mark by inches.

Remaining games on the schedule are: Wednesday, February 26, Crookston Cathedral High; Saturday, March 1, Crookston Central High; Monday, March 3, Crookston Cathedral High.

Each of the day meetings covered a special field of activity and attracted people particularly interested in the subjects presented. Crops, livestock, potatoes, and farm improvement days for men appealed not only to the spec- ialists in each field but to many who were interested in all phases of farm life. The women had a well-balanced program in which the latest informa- tion on foods and clothing was pre- sented together with reviews of latest plays, explorations, travel talks, and music.

The Winter Shows were a financial success. The Livestock Association will make a substantial payment on out- standing indebtedness and, according to present plans, in 1942 will own, with- out incumbrance, the buildings repre- senting an investment of more than $50,000. The treasurer of the Board of Managers reports a balance large enough to insure the success of the
