HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The school met in general assembly
yesterday afternoon. Principal Brown
took the occasion to make few sug-
gestions in regard TO the debating
club He thanked those who took
part on the program, in behalf of the
school Mr. Brown said that he would
suggest that the debating club hold
regular meetings the rest of this year
and that before commencement some
arrangement for the continuance of
this line of work be made. Both this
year and last the debating teams have
been late in getting started, and as a
result have had to devote their whole
effort TO the argument. They there
fore lacked the ease and freedom be-
fore an audience that was so notica-
BILE in the Davenport debaters this
year. The Rock Island boys had the
facts. and had them in good arrange
ment, but did not have the same grace
and presence in delivering their
speeches that the Davenport boys
had.
Mr.. Brown announced that there
will be eight or ten students in the
declamatory contest next Friday eve
ming. y great deal of interest is cen
tered on this contest, as the winner
will have the honor of representing
the school in the interscholastic CON
test to be held in connection with the
athletic meet at Galesburg May O..
Mr.. Brown has appointed Walter
Heimbeck to have charge of the tick
cts, and he will announce today those
of whom the tickets may be procured.
1t is expected that fully as many will
attend his contest as were present at
the debate.
Mr.. Kent. who is coaching the track
team, said today in regard to the in
terclass meet: THE meet will no
doubt be very close. | cannot make
any predictions yet as to the winners,
except in one or two events. 1t Will
be impossible to tell who will take
the places in the kong runs, that is,
from the one-quarter mile up. All of
the classes are making a good effort.
The freshmen have their entry lists
nearly full, that is, in almost every
case they have three men in an event.
This is true also of the sophomore
and senior classes. The junior class
has been greatly handicapped by the
rule that the points made by a man
over ten credits behind would count
for the lower class. / could not say
which class has the best show for the
cup. \ crew of men is at work get
ting the track in shape, and if the
weather is favorable an interesting
meet is assured. Manager Stone has
had tickets printed. and several mem

The committee in charge of the meet
will decide ON the judges and other
officials for the meet this evening.
The meeting of the Tri-City associa-
ton to have been held last evening
was postponed till Thursday evening.
meeting of the junior class was
called for this afternoon. The class
will elect one of their members to re-
ceive the present to the school given
by the senior class.
