On with basketball! With the ap-
proach of the Christmas season comes
much exaltation on the part of the
sport-lovifs students of Laketon.
Christmas always brings cheer, but
this year. it bripgs more than ever, be-
cause the two good basketball teams
of the school have bran new suits in
the school colors of blue and gold.
At a meeting of the Athletic Asso-
ciation last week it was voted unani-
mously that uniforms foth both boys
and girls be purchased by
ganization. It is indeed a treat to the
school since the girls formerly &ap-
peared in the conventional “gym”
bloomers and middies.
Practice began in earnest last Tues-
day, and although the teams are some-
what behind those of other schools in
starting it is expected the teams will
be in perfect order for the first game.

of its inception this association was
fully organized and incorporated. The

site of the first log school in Dallas,
where was still standing the old “red
school successor to the log

result was the handsome and com-

After the formation of the borough
of Dallas the High School Association
by deed dated November 10, 1887, con-
veyed al its property and franchises
to the Borough School District. The
school has since that date been in
charge of the Borough School District
and supported by the public school
funds.
From the first opening day this
school was successful. With
two or three exceptions all the chil-
dren of school age in the district at-
tended the new school, and the tax-
payers asked that the taxes belongin.r
to that district be used in support of
the new school.

erated, and steps were soon taken to
revive the old question of a separate
organization, either of a school district
or o f a borough. The latter plan was
finally adopted. The petition, map
and other necessary papers were
quietly prepared on the 4th day of
Janwary, A. D. 1879. They were laid
before the grand inquest of the
county. The application was vigorous-

the township, especially by the school
position was too late. The move-
ment had gone too far and had too
much strength and hadd good a cause
to suffer defeat then. The application
was approved, and the incorporation
of the borough was completed on the
21st day of April, A. D. 1879.
The ill feeling aroused by - this
struggle and final separation of the
borough was carried to extreme
lengths, and by some will be carried
to their graves. With many it took
the form of “boycotting.” . Some of
the people who were left out of the
township vowed never again to pa-
tronize a store or business within the
limits of the borough. Cooperative
stores were established in the
ship, in which a company would fori.

Before leaving the subject of schools
a line upon the old custom “boarding
around,” which is now fis’ disappear-
ing, may be of interest This custom
was universal at one time in Dallas, !
as in most country districts. Eaeh
family that sent children to school
was expected to board and lodge the
teagher a proper portion of each term.
Word was usually sent by one. of the
children a few days in advance noti-
fying the parents when thoy might ex:
pect the teacher to board with them.
The practice grew from . necessity in
money poor, and it was easier to fur-
nish food and lodging tha ‘toe money
to pay for them. Ther» were. some
advantages and civilizing effects ‘also a;
in the practice, which should not be :
