The following items appeared in the Ridgeway Journal dated January 6, 1938.
The Ridgeway basket ball team were planning to play in the Bethany tournament January 13, 14 & 15 of that year. To accommodate this change in their schedule, they were trying to reschedule a game with King City, which was to be their first conference game of the season. The junior high basketball team was planning a tournament to be played at Ridgeway in February 1938 and “prospects are that a number of teams will be entered in this tourney.”
In Ridgeway school news, the week of Jan 6 was the last week of the first semester with exams at the end of the week and grades coming out the next Wednesday. The school planned to drop the advanced algebra and salesmanship classes and offer advanced arithmetic and commercial law instead.
The school bus drivers evidently enjoyed the winter vacation “more than either the teachers or the students did”. Bad weather during the break made “the roads nearly impassable...One of the drivers was heard to remark that the superintendent surely picked the proper time to have vacation.” By the time that the school resumed, the roads were dry and in good shape “to start the New Year right.”
Wedding bells rang with the marriage of Miss Ivel Mae Lobba and Max Provin on “Wednesday morning of last week.” They were married at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reeder with Mr. Reed officiating.
An “Athletic Carnival” was to be held on Jan 11 in the school gym. Attendees would see wrestling, boxing and even fencing exhibition. This event had to be postponed to Feb 1 (due to weather maybe?) and if it was held, no results were published in the Journal.
