HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.


Mr. Murphy, one of the singers that
was with the Rooney Boys last winter
when they visited Wausau, under the
auspices of the Y. Nj. q. A., sang for us
honday during the music period.
At last the United States history
class is satisfied: they saw the new
ancient history slides Tuesday morn
ing.
Each dignified and stately member of
the Senior class is wearing a plain
gold pin with 1905 or 04f, according to
which class he belongs to, on it. There
is no doubt these are the prettiest pins
that any class that ever graduated from
the high school, has selected-to hear
Senior tell it.
Thursday, during the speech period,
we fixed up the Pupils Report" Each
pupil is given paper with three
columns headed respectively studies
taken" under which are put the studies
taken the present semester, studies
expected" under which are put the
studies the student expects to take
next semester and studies approved, I"
in which Mr.. Parlin put the studies the
pupil can take in the coming semester.
The main object of having these blanks
filled out is SO as to make out the pro-
gram of the studies for next semester
during the Christmas holidays. The
column headed studies approved"
will be torn off and returned to the
respective pupils for their work slip at
the beginning of next semester. Each
teacher will require every pupil that
reports for a class JAN, 1905, to show
their work slip before allowing them to
join the class.
Another new rule has been forced
upon the boys 1t provides that they
can not hold the girls hands in the
school house. A Junior when told of
this remarked ''t will not be long be-
fore there will be an amendment added
to this rule providing that the girls can
not hold the boys hands in the school
house."
Another six weeks of school has
passed; today we got our report cards
and can see the marks we have obtained
by our digging and toiling during this
time.
