HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The foot ball team played return
game with the alumni Saturday and
again got soaked, l6-0 this time.
Their playing had improved greatly
over that of the Saturday before, and
it was the alumni teams weight and
their brilliant playing rather than
our boys bad playing, that gave
them their touch-downs. The line
bucks were well, considering the
weight of their opponents. The for
ward passes were mostly for gains, es-
pecially that of Johnson to Brown
| which several times resulted in long
gains. The team displays lot of
team work, the whole eleven men
working like a machine This is an
| essential to success and makes up for
a lot of weight. However all of our
| opponents teams are considerably
lighter than before, so weight is not
as much against us as in former years.
The new rules favor light team
more than ever before. A lot of good
| tackling was shown in Saturdays
game. This alone will prevent long
gains by opponents. Next Saturday
the team will go up against one of
their hardest opponents, Stevens
Point. The game will be played on
| the high school campus. The admis-
sion is % and Is cents and the game
| is called at 300 O'Clock. Last year
tied them, neither team scoring. This
year another good game can be prom
ised but victory is what Wausau is
after and a victory is what they will
get. This will be a game worth see
ing and we want everybody to see 1T.
Mr.. Hildensdorf, who was respons-
ible for the cheering with which
Grand Rapids supported their team
last season, and which those who ac-
companied the team last year to
Grand Rapids will well remember. He
is here with Wausau this year and
will do the same for the Wausau
| team. Wausau has been little lack
ing in this sort of school spirit, the
| kind that turns out the whole school
to root for the team, but that is
easily remedied and we are certainly
not going to let little country cross
roads town like Grand Rapids work
up a bigger school spirit than we can
A big mass meeting will be called
this week and Mr.. Hildensdorf will
| lead the school a concert yelling and
singing. He has been working for a
| long time and has collected, composed
| and arranged lot of songs and yells
which, if used properly, it is cinch
will make the biggest racket ever
heard in this city. Now, if every
student in the high school attends
the mass-meeting, and then brings
few more with him to the game, the
roofing will be a success and the
athletic association will get big
boost in the way of funds.
The old members of the high school
faculty, Thursday gave supper at
Rothschilds pavilion in honor of the
new members. The tables were dec
grated in the school colors, red and
white. The evening was spent in
roller skating and the event was
greatly enjoyed by all of the thirty
seven present
A spelling class has been organized
at the high school for those deficient
in this line. Anyone can join this
| class. and a lot others must, as any
teachers can send pupils to this class.
The moral is: learn to spell the words
you don't know, and be awful careful
about those you do know, if you
would escape the spelling class.
Principal Parlin brought home
