Roeliff-Jansen High School of Hillsdale.
The game will be played on the RoeliffJansen court on November 29. This game
may prove a breeze for the Daniuitz
coached men, just a,s Berlin was one year
previous. Or on the other hand, v/e may
find a fight on our hands such as the
Keveny school handed us last
year,
Keveny had a sina.ll gym and kept popping

for many reasons. First, it v/ill create
more school spirit, and secondly, it
v/ill help to start our eagers on the

Hi-Y has sponsored a bus to take
all rooters from Milne to
