Waterloo School Notes 

The Waterloo team easily defeated Springfield on the Community building court Friday evening, the score being 24 to 14. The Waterloo five took the lead at the beginning of the game and were never seriously threatened. The score at the half was 16 to 2. Springfield being held without a field goal. Brooks Moore and Robert Cunningham tied for high point honors with ten each.

In the first game of the double header the Waterloo Reserves squeezed out a 6 to 5 victory over the second team from Springfield. This game was very close and exciting, and in doubt until the final whistle.

These victories give the local teams and even break in the League games five starts for Coach McGuires’ teams to date and make three victories in. 

Waterloo schools will close Friday afternoon for the Christmas holidays, and will re-open January 2^nd. 

The high school folks enjoyed a Christmas party at the Community building Thursday evening, and the grade pupils held Christmas parties in their rooms Friday afternoon.
