-Four pieces of scenery for the Senior
play, The Cricket on the Hearth,
have been received from Howard
futile. artist, in Milwaukee. The big
curtain and all of the scenery at the
high sch DOL was painted by Mr.. futile.
With yesterday the shortest term of
the school year commenced. From
now on the many out door attractions
will increase and tempt us to shirE our
studies. But after our weeks vacation
and rest, we ought TO have come back
with renewed determination and
courage to work and keep ny the
records for the rest of the year.
Yesterday morning coach Scholes
made the first call for track candidates.
The number of boys that turned out
show that the team for the coming
spring contests will be the largest in
the history of the school. The work so
far, of course, has been entirely indoor,
but last night the boys got out of doors
and ran around the track couple of
times.
The school is in receipt of an invita-
ton from j. H. Farley, Appleton, in be-
hall of Lawrence university, asking our
track team to participate in the sixth
annual interscholastic track and field
meet, which will be held in Appleton
May 18th. Prizes of gold and silver
cups; gold, silver and bronze medals, a
banner and special medals and badges
are offered. The program this year in
cludes fourteen events and the record
for eligibility is more exacting than for
any previous year. Last year our boys
got second place in the meet and
brought home silver medal. On two
other occasions Wausau won first place
or the gold cup and the winning of hrst
again gives our team permanent posses
sion of the much coveted prize
Many of the students spent their
vacations out of town. Katharine
Bissell visited Chicago, Milwaukee and
Carroll college. Among those who at
tended the convention at Marshfield
are, Alice Hudson, Elizabeth Mont
gomery, Bessie Campbell, Inez Manser,
Helen Single, Jeannette Wilson and
Hazel Dunnigan. Florence Gilbert
spent the week in Chicago Genevieve
Edmunds, in Appleton and Margaret
Murray, in Amigo. Sol. Heinemann
visited relatives in Pike Lake and Rib
Falls. SOL reports that he was the
sport of the town while he was there,
and that he had fine time. August
kickbusch wished it mentioned that he
ran down to Scholfield with his auto
one day last week and returned to
Wausau the same day.
The boys started to train for the
Appleton meet on the foundation they
built preparing for the Pentathlon
meet. The team this year is comprised
of nearly all of last years track team,
with the exception of Burek. Now if
we rushed Fond du Lac last year for
first place in the meet on second places,
all the winners being out of that school,
it is probable that our record place men
will move up notch, and, with the aid
of promising men like Fred Schaer,
Walter Dern, Arnold Wegner, Karl
Kraatz, Ben Stone, Robert Sipes, Roy
johnson, Mark and Harvey Schclfeld,
and number of other under class men
who showed up fine in the Pentathlon,
that we will make a hard try at lifting
the cup for the last time. 1t seems as if
it ought to be done, and can be accom-
plished only by very hard and devoted
work on the part of each and every boy.
