Ball.
One of our very busy weeks is past.
! Our year in rhetorical work has been
very satisfactory. Two years ago, our
first year in the work, we won third
place in the league, last year we won
second place in the league. This year
/ the work was changed and the girls
and boys contests were kept separate.
We won first place in each contest and
appeared at Platteville for the first
time This in itself is considered quite
an honor. We were proud of both our
speakers. Ulmont Healy, on Thursday
evening, and Henrietta Kane on Friday
evening, stood we'll up toward the front
in the estimation Of the judges.
Thursday evening nine schools were
represented: = Cuba City, Rewey,
! Prairie du CHEN, Mineral Point, Arena
Spring Green, Viola, Blanchardville,
and Benton. Rewey was given first
place.
represented FAYETTEVILLE, Spring Green,
Hazel Green Ontario, Linden, Montfort,
Mineral Point, Viola, Prairie du Chen,
and Arena. Spring Green was given
first place.
The track and field meet held Friday
afternoon was more satisfactory. In
this we receive exactly what we earn
and do not depend upon SO many I'M
certainties. There are more definite
rules for determining who is winner.
Only five schools entered this year =
Dodgeville, Rewey, Viola, Platteville,
and Mineral Point.
There were eleven events besides the
relay, in which four boys run a mile,
each one running a quarter.
In each event, first place counts five,
second place counts three, and third
counts one.
The relay counts 10, 6, and 2, but
does not count for any particular boy
toward winning the individual gold
medal.
We won IS points out of a possible
III.
Frank Stone earned 80, thereby win
ming the individual Gold Medal.
His nearest competitor was Swancut,
Of Viola, who won IS.
The winner in each event was sup
posed to receive a silver medal, but as
number Of gold medals were pur-
chased and engraved for meet between
the normal and some other school,
and as the meet never came off, we
are obliged to use up the gold medals
this year.

second, and third places:

In the ball game Saturday mornin 6
Mr.. Culver played, as we were playing
the Normal School. The game was full
of surprises. Two home runs, one by
James Knight and one by Mr.. Culver,
were amonf the exciting events. One
of the most remarkable things about
the game is the way the boys recovered
and almost won the game after the
Normal boys were IL to our /. The
final score, 10 to -, shows that if the
game had lasted few minutes longer
we should certainly have defeated them.
No game was played Saturday after
noon with the Platteville high school.
The seniors are practicing faithfully
on their class play, entitled "Our
Alma Mater" We think you will be
especially interested in the play this
