High School Notes.


Baseball practice has been kept
up this week until Thursday night
when the snow prevented it.
Ora Sitter is back in school after
few days absence.
the American English Literature
class will finish Burke's speech on
Cancellation with America Monday
and will then take up some of Sir
Walter SCOTS works.
The annual is about done now
as far as writing goes and every
thing imprinted is ready for the
printers.
The High School baseball team
will play Fennimore High School
here April %. The team is in good
shape now and will play city team
Saturday. In the practice so far
the work of Pennock at shortstop
and Andrew at second base has been
exceptionally good. Batting practice
work with the pitchers Will take up
most of the time before the Fenni-
more game.
The High School has received an
invitation from Platteville Normal
to take part in the High School
track meet to be held under the
auspices of the Normal May 9Th.
The matter has not been decided as
yet but Mr.. Duncalf may enter five
or six of the boys who can do any
thing in the track events. In the
field event Lancaster would be the
weakest.
The wireless telegraph outfit was
set up this week in the Laboratory
and after a good deal of expert
menting it worked alright, sending
the electric waves across the room
and setting the sounder in action.
The outfit will be set up before the
class the first Of next week in con-
nection with the work in tele-
graphy. The outfit is a very good
one and when adjusted correctly
works very well.
The Physics class will make a
visit to the electric light plant some
evening next week, Mr.. Slothower
having arranged with Mr.. Angus
at the plant. The class has just
finished the work with the dynamo,
motor and electric light, and the
visit will no doubt be of great in
terest and benefit to the class.
The main obstacle with which the
baseball team has to contend this
spring is lack of funds. They have
several games scheduled for the sess-
son and have decided to open the
season here with Fennimore as an
experiment, that is to see what they
can do in the way Of gate receipts.
A little encouragement in this way
will go a long ways toward getting
more home games. Another help
along this line could be furnished
by the person or persons who
borrowed the HI. S. mitt, pro-
tector and mask for the games
south of town last summer. They
were borrowed by someone not con-
nected with the HI. S. team and
loaned to a team in the country
south of the city. The High School
boys will hold the one who borrowed
their property responsible for their
return and if they are not returned
soon will demand new outfit.
The Physics class is to do some
dark room work with light rays
with the aid of the Grlssler tubes
and other apparatus soon.
Ralph Ray 'O4 who is home visit
ing spent Thursday afternoon at
the schoolhouse.
The second High School baseball
team is out after games with any
second teams in the county. They
practice with first team and are a
husky lot of players.
The game with Platteville Nor
NAL will be played April goth. The
game will be started at $50 a. m.
as the Normal has a track meet
with Whitewater Normal in the
afternoon. This arrangement will
give the boys a chance to see a
track meet, something new to most
of them.
