CITY SCHOOL NEWS.


The principal news this week seems
to be field meets and class fights. At
the present writing the latter appears
to be stirring up the most commotion.
The field meet last Saturday ended in
a tie Grand Rapids and Wausau each
scoring II points. Grand Rapids ex-
celled in the field events while Wausau
was ut her best on the track. Though
our opponents had a strong team we
ought to have beaten them; out of six
teen events we got ten tirsts. The meet
was an interesting one though those
on the bleachers were prevented from
seeing most of the field events because
of the crowd that gathered in the field,
The bleachers were covered with black
cambria adorned with huge "'01's'' in
orange. The Seniors are bound to
make themselves seen as well as heard.
As to the class troubles, which, from
Saturday mornings exhibition seem to
elamor for place among "athleticS''-
well, as the reporter would like to re-
main on this terrestrial globe little
longer he wont attempt to say which
side is to blame-to be candid, it seems
impossible to find out. The Juniors
say the Seniors are and Seniors say the
Juniors are. The trouble appears to
have been about the Juniors right to
plant flag staff carrying O2S flag in
the midst of the "'01's park" And
there's where the trouble began-as
nearly as we can get at it. AS long as
class contentious go no farther than a
little friendly scrapping it is all right
but when they descend to the action we
have had latelY-weli we had given the
two classes credit for more sense than
that.

In days bygone the school year was
closed with grand picnic but now,
with three thousand school children,
this seems impracticable. This year,
we will have grand field meet of the
lower grades as a finishing up of the
school year. The freshmen and eighth
graders will compete with each other;
and the 9Th. 9th and 18th grades will each
have a grade contest to see which room
has the best athletes; The eighth grade
freshmen contest will have all the reg
ular field events, while the other grades
will have: broad and high jumps, 100
and 220 yard dashes, I mile run, and ]
mile bicycle, 100 yard low hurdle; this
omits the more trying events from the
contests in which the younger boys
enter.
An indoor base ball match game will
be given one " eek from Friday by the
eighth grade and freshmen girls teams.
The eighth grade has SO far had the
supremacy over the freshies who, how
the graders a hard fight.
