Nelson Dewey Items.

fr.d6N afternoon lne SFNues prayed
two games with the Howe. The Howe
YVES not very strong and the games
resulted in easy victories for the
home boys.
The grade enrolment has reached
the handsome total Of $50, which is 10
more than last month and 40 more
than last year at this time Who
says the East End is not growing?
Mr.. Shong has been invited by
Pres Oscar Of the North Wisconsin
Teachers Association to read a paper
on '"Aistory in the High School' at
the Ashland meeting, March l and 2.
The High School senior have added
to their numbers, Miss Mary Archer.
Miss Archer graduated last June from
the HENRIETTA Texas, IL S. She
hopes to complete the Dewey course
this year and graduate with the class
of 1907, Miss Archer is Il sister OF
Mr.. w. J. Archer, our science teach
err. She moved here recently with
her parents from the south.
All of the teachers on the sick list
are back again. This includes parti-
cuarly Miss Williams who was called
to Flatville Penn, on account OF the
death of her father, Miss McGraw and
Miss Robertson both sick with the
grippe. Miss Mckanna is the only
one on the sick list this week. She
was confined to her room botd Fhurs-
day and Friday. Miss Whipple
substituted for her.
The grade teams are continuing to
give good account of themselves in
basket ball. Having defeated the
strong Normal team last week, this
week the boys took on tho Carpenter
aggregatiou The Dewey seconds
had little trouble in soundly trounc-
ing the Carpenter To the time of II to
II. The Dewey boys in this game
consisted OF Warren Pattis6n, Lloyd
Williams, Ernest Sherman, Edward
Horst and John Kuudson The first
team mad a harder time of it however,
J he Iewoyites had all the best of the
first half, which ended II 10 4. But
in the second half the Dewey weak
ened owing to the fact that that the
boys had had only praCticed twice IL
tho Gymnasium in the last ak weeks
I he game ended IS to II in favor OF
the Dewey in a sensational finish
Prin. Clemens Of the Carpenter acteC
as referee the last half and refused tc
accept the score IA recorded by the
scorer, claiming than the score shouc
J have been tie Is to IS. Now Will,
the Dewey boys claim they won the
game, the Carpenters claim tie. II
f is more than likely the Dewey will
, consent to play the game again with
, neutral officials in the Dewey Gym
nasium The Dewey team was com
posed of the following boys Leon
Remfry, Roy Webster, Harry kunert,
.iamos Seed and lIilmer Luud.
1t will be remembered that the
Oratorical Contest which was held at
Ashland last year on the fourth OF
May resulted in Il victory for IRON
wood Clarence Er!anson who
represented the Dewey and whom all
Deweyites expected would win was
given second place. Mr.. Shong who
was president of the league last year
judges that there were grave doubtG
as o the originality Of the lronwood
bows Grafton Nevertheless IN the
abscn"e of direct evidence the Iron
wood boy vas allowed to enter the
contest Later Supt, Hooper Of Ash
land Was appointed committee Of
one to investigate the alleged
PLAGIARISM on the part of the Iron
woods representative. Mr.. Hooper
aftsrdu investigation has reported
that Ironwood was guilty of plagiarism.
Now since the Dewey was given
second piece, this decision gives first
place to the Dewey boy. This isgood
news indeed for we had made up our
minds to make it three straight, Miss
Ethel Thomas and Henry Christie
having won for the Dewey the two
previous years. There is considerable
sentiment among the schools that
compose the Northern league OF the
association that the oratofical contest
he simply a deciamatory contest. In
view of the difficulty the association
has had in getting the teacher1 to
keep their hands off the hoy's ora'ions
it would appear that the league WI,
have to adopt the plans Of the other
branches Of the state associations !. g,
