Thomson Township High School

Description

The blind orchestra from the Duluth Lighthouse for the Blind was judged to be the best act of the third annual GAA variety show. The school band, under direction of L. B. Olson, played at the Sixth Annual Northeastern Minnesota Junior Livestock Show. The band paraded from the Duluth City Hall at Fifth Avenue West, to London Road, and to the Curling Club. The junior class enjoyed an outing to a log cabin at Jay Cooke Park. New library helpers, called pages, started work. The band entertained at the Arrowhead Cooperative Creamery meeting. Superintendent A. L. Winterquist wrote about safety in an article titled, "The Matter of Life and Death." Junior high school news was given, including a note about many students being absent because of the busy potato picking season. The Thomson Townships Farmers' Club met. The junior and senior bands were organized, with officers being elected. Community news items were given about the comings and goings of Township residents. The junior football team was defeated by the senior team. Candidates for the boys basketball team had a physical examination, prior to the start of basketball practice.
