HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Wausau l4-Stevens Point %.

3he game was played in the high school
gymnasium, which is on the third floor

The narrowness of the room made 1t
hard for the Wausau team to get in any
team work. On account OF the width
of the gym it was possible for one man
to guard two forwards. The Point
team made use of this and had practi-
cally only one guard. The other four
members of the team spen: all their
time in team work or shooting at the
basket. 1t was evident TO all those who
witnessed the game thet on better
floor Wausau would have had ne trou-
BILE in defeating the Stevens Point hive
by large score.
The score at the end of the first half
was 9 and the score for the second
hall vas li-S, Wausau being three
points behind at the end OF each half

Would Lincoln have been L1ncoln2

Would Lincoln have been Lincoln?
What would modern educational ex-
perts have made of Lincoln if, as a
baby, he had been put in their care :
They would probably have started him
on sterilized milk, clothed him in dis
infected garments, sent him to kinder
garten where he would have learned to
weave straw hats and sing about The
Blue Bird on the Branch Then the
dentist would have Strengthened his
teeth, the oeulist would have fitted him
with glasses, and in the primary grade
he would have been taught by pictures
and diagrams the difference between a
COW and pig, and through nature
study he would have learned that The
catbird did not lay kittens. By the
time he was eight he would have be
come a young gentleman at ten he
home, at twelve or fourteen he would
take up manual training, and within
two years make rolling pin and tie il
with a blue ribbon la the high school
at sixteen. where in four years he
would learn that Mars was the reputed
son of juno, and To recite a stanza from
The Lady of the Lake. Then to college
where he would have joined the Glee
Club and a Greek Letter Fraternity,
smoked cigarettes and graduated, and
than become clerk in bankers office
and never, never do any one any harm
Well, perhaps, we don't know and
can't tell what might have been, but
