HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Storming Of Missionary Ridge and
Wade Mormon whose grafton was
'Idylls" were also very good and show
that the high school win not lack
winning orators, when the first have
graduated.
The, program begun with a piano
solo by Lawrence Bernhard Be-
tween the third and fourth orations
the Girls Glee club gave some very
fine selections and the audience was
entertained while waiting for the de-
cision of the judges, by the high
school orchestra. Mr.. Hilgendorf pre-
sided and the judges were Messrs.
Sweet, Genrich, Regner, Turner and
Smith and their markings for the
first three places were as follows:
Carmi Vaughan, 1-1-1-1-2
Cony Piper, 2-2-2-2-1.
Harvey Taylor, 4-4-3-3-3.
Paul Tobey, 5-5-5-3-3.
Wade Mormon, 5-5-4-4-4.
The winners of the first two places
in this contest, Mr. Vaughan and Mr.
Piper, and the winners of the first
three in the defamation contest held
a week ago, Miss Reid, Miss Bury and
Miss Newell will on Saturday evening
hold joint league contest with Grand
Rapids at that city. 1t seems strange
to us that this contest too is not
scheduled for the afternoon as some
of the contestants may object to travel
ing on Sunday.

son schools visited the schools here on

The following poem was contributed
by one of the faculty referring to an
unappreciative attempt which some
of the fellows made one day last week
"'Tis time this sad old world of ours
Does give its share of knocks,
But boys don't try to brighten it
By wearing rainbow socks"

The track work is getting along
finely and the prospects are very en-
couraging. Coach LETTERS had built

quarter, half and mile; Turner is in
his old form at the high jump; Amos

well, Hyman and Piper at the hurdles,
