A Little More Campus Chatter from February, 1929


We have a little more Campus Chatter from February 15th, 1929.  The big noise at Sugar Land High was the boys basketball team, which was about to play in the county championship tournament in Richmond.  The winner would go to another tournament in Houston.  (I'm not sure how the play off system worked in those days.)  The Gators didn't have a particularly good record, but their home-town fans thought they might overcome the mighty Richmond Tigers.  There were just 4 teams in the county: Sugar Land, Richmond, Rosenberg & Beasley.


We also have news from the colored school. Their recent PTA meeting was lively, and their piano club was busy collecting funds to pay for their piano. 

Furthermore, the Sugar Land High Foods I Class served a dinner to the school board and guests.  I wonder where they held it.  The home economics room wasn't built until 1932.

Richmond High showed some hospitality by throwing a dance for Sugar Land students.


As always, we close with the specials at the Mercantile Store.
