HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The public schools opened Monday
with, as usual, a record breaking at
tendance. Principal Parlin spoke for
few minutes at the opening of high
school. He said that the past year
had been the best in the history of
the school, because of the spirit of
cooperation which had characterized
the whole body of students, the same
spirit which characteriZes the city of
Wausau, and has more than anything
else to do with making it more than
small cross-road village. He said
that he hoped this spirit would be
manifested this year and make the
high school still greater success.
He called the attention to the high
school course which probably gives
each individual a wider choice than
any other in the state.
All the teachers were present to
begin their work, with the exception
of Miss Mae Wilson, who is recover
ing from an operation and will be-
gin her work the latter part of the
week. In the meantime her place
is being supplied by Miss Helen Geb-
hart.
The heavy rain Sunday evening
caused the sewers to back up and
flood the high school basement.
The new school building is expected
to be ready for occupancy by the last
of November. At present three rooms
in the Presbyterian chape' are being
used.
There are thirteen new members
in the high school faculty, Misses
Anderson, Clark, Duff, Grant, Ruede-
bench, Stoddard, Slack, Lintz, Has
kin and Vogt and ~Melgensdorf, JEFF
fers and LIE Grand, making with the
fourteen teachers that returned from
last year, twenty-seven teachers in
all on the high school faculty.
A meeting of the athletic association
>of the high school was attended by
about fifty members. After the
signing of the constitution by the
new members the election of officers
took place.
George Pearson member of last
years football team and man in
every way capable of leading the high
school athletics, was elected presi-
dent by scant majority, Glen Rams
dell, vice president, and Cony Piper,
secretary.
The question of purchasing uni
form suits for the football team was
discussed and Mr. Schneider said that
if every member of the association
would get out and help by selling
tickets for the home games, these
might become reality. He also
spoke at some length on the practice
of breaking open lockers, which is a
very frequent occurance in the locker
ROOM He said that he thought most
of those addicted to this practice had
graduated and that he hoped those
that hadn't had reformed. A COM
paratively large number were out for
football practice last night, lot
more are expected tonight, however.
There will be one scrimmage this
week, on Thursday. 1t is hoped that
xuit hn orb oil II
can be arranged for Saturday.
At meeting of the board of edu-
cation held last evening, the commit
tee on finance was authorized to pro-
cure a loan sufficient to defray the
current expenses of the schools and
to make payment on the contract
with Miller & Krause.
The committee on supplies was
directed to ascertain the cost of adj
ditional lockers for the high school to
meet the requirments of the increased
enrolment. The question of cooper
alton with the health officer for the
suppression and prevention of conta-
gious disease was discussed at some
length, and it was voted to appoint
Supt Tobey, w. w. Albers and ]. H.
Pagenkopf to meet with the health
officer to make arrangements for
medical inspection of the school.
The latter plan would go long way
toward preventing another epidemic
such as that of last winter.
If the alumni game Saturday be-
comes a reality we would like to have
everybody out to see the team that is
going to win the valley championship
the 1910 Wausau high school foot
ball team.
