HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The foot ball situation this year all
over the state is surprisingly poor.
This may be due to public feeling
against it, or to the average weight
of high school pupils nowadays.
The usual number of high school
foot ball teams in this vicinity has
shrunk to four Lancaster, Rewey,
Platteville and Richland Center.
None of these are what could be term
ed heavy teams.
The news report given by the
Juniors Friday morning was interest
ing. The talk concerned politics
mostly. There were minute items
given.
Tuesday morning Miss Thorgus
entertained the high school with some
selections on the piano. They we're
very much enjoyed and appreciated.
Many were looking forward to the
foot ball game that was to be played
between Boscobel Ell S. and L. III. S.
at the fair grounds today, but the
news came this week that their eleven
had disbanded. A date was then
made with the Richland Center team,

was received that they would be un-
able to come
