HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The two teams that are to meet
Tomah debaters on April 80. had try
out before a small but appreciative au-
dience Monday night. Messrs. Dahl,
Coffland, c. j Smith and Judge Ma
honey were in the audience and at the
close Of the debate met the two teams
and offered some criticisms. We all ap-
preciate the interest these friends of
the school take in these matters.
The local declamatory contest will
occur at the high school on Friday
night. We hope there will be a gener-
Gus turn out of patrons at this annual
event. The young people in this con-
test have worked hard to make the
affair a pleasant and enjoyable one.
The receipts of the evening at ten cents
per, are to pay the expenses of the
preparation.
The beautiful Arbor and Bird Day
ANIMALS prepared by the state depart
ment, arrived the other day. Some at
tention will be given to celebration
of this day in several rooms of the
school.

winners of this contest, three in num-
Der, will meet repre- sentative from the
Sparta and La Crosse high schools in a
league contest some time in the next
month This hague contest will also
be held here. Our boys are putting
forth every effort to round into shape
for this event Although these con
tests come very close together, we trust
that good audiences may greet the
young people at both of them.
Two teams of debaters from our high
school meet two teams from Tomah on
the evening of April 30th, to argue the
question, Resolved that the trades
unionist is justified in refusing TO work
in the same shop with the non-union
man." Messrs. Arlington, BIZ the and
will argue the negative Ut TOmah,
while Messrs Hauge and Kenneth Smith
and Miss Eunice Hays will support the
affirmative here. Under the skilful
coaching of Mr.. Odlum both teams are
reaching high state Of efficiency, and
we look for some good work from them
on the Goth.

THIs WOKE MIeHr PERFEcT BE

If all the leaves on every tree
The germs of health ygere Matching,
If we from pain and ache We're free.
And health alone was catching;
Ii we could live in health's full sway.
And not part show least decay,
Until le whole had worn away.
As did a. e ''Deaeon's One-Hoss Shay"
Could we nhale like nitrogen,
The stimulants the body Graves,
To be absorbed like oxygen.
And to gross food we were not slaves.

Was just a gem of pure ray"

And all from wrong and taint were free,
And simply did the best they could.
What splendid world this world would be.
