HIGH SCHOOL. NOTES.
Edited by FRED PoPPE.

Virgil class.
Tuesday morning. the high school
pupils spent the opening exercises in
listening to an excellent impromptu
speech entitled "True Character by
William Brand.
We had visitor in the person of
Captain Van Etten last Monday morn
ing, and before his denarture he gave
us an interesting and beneficial five
minute lecture on ''Order in the school
room"
A large party of high school boys
and girls went to Ortonville Thursday,
the I'D, where delightful day was
spent. On the way down the sled
broke few miles out of town, and the
girls say there are good many rail
road ties between here and Ortonvilie.
1t is reported that all the exercises
in the lower departments were excel
lent, and it is needless to remind those
who visited them that the decorated
walls and black-boards were beautiful,
which not only showed their skill in
decorating, but also being in harmony
with occasion, awakened just pride
in all present and thus added much to
the enjoyment of the day.

pleasure of entertaining the following:

The program was success and met
with the approval of the visitors.
Nv Washingtons Birthday was we'll
rendered by Roy Cunningham. Inthe
reading of "After Twenty Years"
Maud Mills did her best. The essay
on Lady Washington" was done full
credit by Lou Hawes. The Grafton on
america was we'll delivered by En-
met White. The defamation entitled
"Ben Ali, the Egyptian" was superb
ly presented by Ruby Aldrich. The
essay on "W ashington' was pleasant
ly read by Nellie Sullivan. Tho ora
tion on the Beginning of 1907 was
Enthusiastically given by Kenneth
Ackerman. Maud Farnham gave an
excellent rendition of the "Wife Hunt
ing Deacon. An oration on .Athlet
ics'' was sturdily contributed by Geo.
Daniels. The oration on .Peril
of Puerto Rico was splendidly in
terpreted BY Lynn Hawes. The decla-
nation on Drummer Boys Burial
was suitably set forth by Egermayer.
The Grafton on sModern Inventions
was admirably illustrated by Irving
Ely. Grafton on ssFall of the United
States was we'll delivered by VIM.
Schafer. The defamation "Lowell to
Garrison" was agreeably spoken.
The Grafton on "Rise and Decline of
the Hawaiian Monarchy" was delight
fully and ably discussed by William
Brand. The debate was interestingly
contested and the affirmative came Off
victorious. The musical program was
given with eclat, thanks to the liberal
assistance OF Lnc cHOlr anu OUTSIDE
musical talent.
Not up to privilege: "Some high
school students seem to be satisfied
with simply "passing standing. =
Parents whose children have no sstudy
hours at home, better examine their
monthly reports carefully. No high
school pupil can excel who does not
study evenings, and it can be safely
said that any one whose thoughts and
convers alton turn to beaus, dances
and parties, does not get enough out
OF lessons to make them interesting
or useful. IS. G. B.
