HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Marie Brands, '09, visited the
high school, Wednesday afternoon.
There are now 200 students enrolled
in the commercial department of the
high school.
Most of the defamation and orator
ical contestants have made their Selec-
lions and have begun to commit them
to memory.
The work on the commencement
program will be begun this week.
The Senior class voted some time ago
to have program in which all the
graduating class should take part.
The program will probably consist of
play, girls drill, class prophecy, a
musical comedy and the usual ora
lions and declarations. The 1910
graduating class of the Wausau high
school will be the third largest in
Northeastern Wisconsin, the largest
being only five larger than our class
of 60.
About sixty teachers from the city
schools, nine from the training school,
three from Schofield and several from
the country schools, left Wausau
Thursday at 4:30 D. m. in a special
train to attend the convention of
North Eastern Teachers association,
at Oshkosh.
The meeting was a great success,
easily the best sectional meeting ever
held in Wisconsin. There was a very
large attendance, 400 to 1900 men,
bers being present who were enter
tanned in glorious style by the people
of Oshkosh. The program was strong
throughout, from the opening address
by the Pres, Principal G. G. Parlin,
which was one of the best ever de-
| livered in the state, to the closing
talk by DR.. Winship of Boston. The
| principal address was given by G.
Stanley Hail. A. B. o. Neil, principal
| of the Oshkosh high school was elected
president of the next meeting. Supt.
| Tobey gave talk on English in the
| grades at the meeting.
Miss Letha E. Garner, teaching the
9Th grade in the Lincoln, was called
home Monday to Berlin, Wis, by the
serious illness of her mother.
Next Friday evening in the high
| school gymnasium, the Wausau high
| school basket ball team will play the
| Grand Rapids high school team. This
| game will be the fastest game of the
season. Grand Rapids has very fast
team and the Wausau team is certain
ly up to the high standard set by
| former lWauSau teams.
The boys report that at Marshfield,
having high school enrolment of
| but $50, there were 300 rooters out.
Wausau with its high school enroll
ment of $50 surely ought to do as we'll.
Last Thursday evening at Rhine
lander, the Wausau high school team
defeated the Rhinelander high school
team by score of 4O-3l. The referees
| Interpretation of the rules was some
what rusty and the boys were
| forced to play an extremely lady-like
game. This game is of Importance
only in strengthening our team
against Grand Rapids.
