HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The report cards for the third si1
weeks of school will be given out to
morrow.
Miss Elizabeth Bell, of Hudson, Wis.
is spending few days as guest of May
Wilson at the home of Supt. Tobey.
Next Saturday evening the dancing
club will give its third social dancing
party in Castle hall. Dancing will con-
mence at half past seven o'clock.
A seven and a half horse power motor
has been installed in the high school to
run the ventilation fan, and conse-
quently the ventilation of the building
is greatly improved.
Next Friday evening the basket ball
team of the Grand Rapids high school
will come to this city to compete with
our team in the high school gymnasium
Grand Rapids is said to have one OF
the fastest teams in the northern part
of the state, but, if we have the support
of all the students and good citizens OF
Wausau, we shall endeavor to show
them better team. This is the first,
and may be the only, high school game
to take place in this city. 1t will begin
promptly at eight o'clock.
A new system of rhetorical work has
been arranged for this semester. Up
to this time every pupil of high school
grade has had to appear on the lyceum
program twice year in order to get
his rhetorical credit. But the enroll.
ment has gradually grown so large
that the lyceum program has had to ex.
tend long after school hours, and even
then it was impossible to have every.
one take part. For this semester, only
the Seniors and Juniors and few OF
the best productions of the lower classes
will appear on the program. The meet
ings, instead of being every Friday
afternoon, will be held every other Fri
day. The lower classes meet once 8
week in regular elocution classes. Thus
the programs will be much more inter
esting, and we won't be troubled by the
noisy underclassmen
Last Friday evering the boys debat
ing society held its first meeting at the
high school. The society, at present
includes about fifteen of the most promi
nent debaters of the school. The meet
ings are to be held every Friday even,
ing, commencing at fifteen minutes
after seven O'Clock. They are supposed
to last one hour and are limited to $50
p. m. Any member of the club is al
lowed to bring male friend with him

Last Saturday night our basket bsli
team was defeated by the Amigo nigh
school team by score of 81 10 10. The
two teams were about evenly matched
in all the positions except centre, in
which we were outclassed Goodwin
Amigos centre, himself scoring enough
points to win the game. The game
was very clean one and all the de-
cisions of the officials were good. We
received the very best of entertainment
a! from our opponents both before and
after the game, and hope that we may
again meet them. Following is the
