The senior class pins have appeared
upon the field of commencement strug-
giles and are some solace of the blighted
feelings of 1901 whose exalted position
upon the lofty pedestal of learning was
somewhat shaken by the Physics exam
on electricity last Friday afternoon.
The pin is in the form of gold triangle
enclosing smaller black enamel tri
angle. Upon the outer triangle is
''W. H. S." while the inner one bears
cor i'll gold. The design is neat one
and at the same time displays the class
colors, orange and black.
FIELD MEETS.
The high school boys who are up in
track athletics expect to take part, in
three meets this spring. They are plan
ming on meet with Merrill and Grand
Rapids in this city about May 18th,
though final arrangements have not yet
been made.
Wausau has been invited to send rep
to an interscholastic meet
at Appleton, May Is. This event is be-
ing arranged by Lawrence University
and about thirty high schools, most of
them near Appleton, have been asked
to compete for silver cup. Our boys
are thinking of making a collection of
and consider the cup good
article to begin on.
The state interschC astic field meet at
Madison, June /, is OF en- to high schools
the state. In spite of hav-
ing to compete with many schools
where there is greater amount of
athl tic timber to pick from, Wausau
t K fourth place in last years meet.
Ine system of counting points has been
changed this year, and if the new
system had been used last year
we would have had third place.
We hope to do even better this time
and the other two meets will furnish
good practice for the boys.
THE CONCERT.
The popular concert last Friday ev en-
ing in the high school assembly room
was success. From beginning to end
there was not dull or unappreciated
number on the program.
There is classical music that appeals
very little to anyone except the edu-
Gated musician who can follow the in
terwoven melodies of a great compost
ton and appreciate the difficulties that
lie in the way of a mastery execution
of such music; there is also classical
music which, if interpreted by the true
artist must appeal to anyone, even
though he may have no musical knowl-
edge whatever. The program began
with Beethoven and ended with Handel,
but every number proved popular in
spite of classical names, for each per-
