HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

mores second, Freshmen third and the
Juniors last. Elizabeth Plantz won tif-
teen points for the Senior team in two
games, making the highest individual
score. The next highest point winner
was Ruth Kreutzer, of the Sophomore
team, who made total of nine points.
The score were low in all the games
and this was due to the good playing OF
the guards. Following are the results OF
the games: Seniors. -; Juniors, 3;
Sophomores, Z; Freshmen, 6. The game
between the winners: Seniors, s; Soph-
ignores, 6. The game between the
losers: Freshmen, 8; Juniors, o. After
the game was the class rush. About
sixteen Seniors against three or four
times as many underclassmen. The
Seniors had hot work fer a while, but
they held their own in everyone of the
five rushes. The fellows went into the
rush to get what fun they could out of
it, and to rub little of the importance
out Of the Seniors. They had little
difficulty about the latter, but there is
no hard feeling between the classes,
and all are just as good friends now as
before the trough house."
The open debate was won by the
affirmative who argued for the re-for-
estization of the cut-over lands of Wis
consin at the states expense. The
leader of the affirmative, Baily Rams
dell, came out strong in his rebuttal,
which did much in winning the debate
for his side. The boys have been work
ing since the Christmas vacation on the
subject, and every speaker showed care
full and thorough preparation. The
girls glee club gave Japanese song
and encore in costume which was great
ly applauded &. d. Jones gave a
critics report.
