HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

A dictionary catalogue of the high
scnool library and reference books is
being made
MISS Nettie Garret, who teaches the
second grade in the high school build
ing, was Ill with tonsilitiS last week.
The teachers of the high building are
going to entertain all the other teachers
OF the city at the high school next Fri
day evening.
Prin. Parlin informs us that the
tardiness record for the first six weeks
OF this year is one-third of that of last
year. 1t is said that the senior class of
each year serves as a model for the
under classmen. Now what's the
matter with the class of '06?
At the senior class meeting of last
week, Rowena Arthur was elected
class poet and Hugh Durkee, class
historian. A committee consisting of
Orpha Jones, Katherine Manson, Orrie
Peterson and Oscar Bromberg, the alter
chairman, was appointed to select
co!ors for the class to vote on as class
colors. The class also decided to
establish high school book, to be
gotten out annually by the seniors.
In the foot bali game of last Satur-
high school team o to 0, only about half
OF the regular high school players were
IN the lineup. None of the regular
backs were there with the exception of
Peterson, qb. On account of this the
team intended to play MIR. Scholes, who
Is coaching the second team, at full,
but the captain of the city team objected
so strenuously that Mr.. Scholes was
not played. Had the high school had
It's regular team, there is no doubt that
1T would have won the game, for the
city team had great difficulty in making
It's touchdown which was ACCOMPLISHED
within the last three minutes of play.
Next Saturday the Merrill high school
team comes to Wausau to compete
with our team for honors on the high
school campus. Merrill has a very
strong, heavy team this year. Though
Wausau is not as strong as in former
years, nevertheless it is a snappy and
gritty bunch The boys are Just begin
ming to get back into good form. Most
OF the men are playing in their old
positions. The new men of the team
are Bngbee and Stone, the former play
ing end and the latter, sub. end and q b.
Both men are playing good ball, and
Stone is making the regular ends hurry
to keep their positions. Now do not
fail to see the home team win the last
game of the season.
On Monday of last week, Rev. w.
Carrier, president of Carroll college,
Waukesha, gave the students very
interesting talk. He spoke of the many
conyenlences of our fine school and
how to make the best use of them. He
said that we were in school to attain
great intellectual power, for there is
more value in intellectual power than
in physical power. Brains are paid for.
Clerks leave school in the eighth grade
perhaps, and work years for small
salaries, while men with more intellect
ual training obtain positions as man.
ayers and get large salaries. We
should study for that power and fit
ourselves for whatever profession we
decide to take up. If we desire to
study medicine we should not be
common physician, but struggle to the
very top and be supreme in our work.
So we should not be common in our
studies and be satisfied with an average
of seventy when we can Just as well
get ninety-fiye. If we have aspirations
and are determined to reach the highest
point, there is nothing to keep us from
dong so.
