HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
LBY GRAEME O'GERAN.l

The first basket ball game of the sea-
son took place last Friday evening at
Brillion. The score was As to 10 in
favor of Brillion. 1t is said the defeat
was due to unfamiliarity with the hall
and slippery floor
Friday of this week our team meets
the Neenah boys here.
Six games are slated for the season.
We very much regret to learn of the
resignation of our musical director,
Miss Ethel Hensen.
Miss Hensen will leave for the state
of Washington during the Christmas
vacation, where she has accepted
similar position.
Miss Hensen has been in Manitowoc
for several years, holding the position
as director under the old system, and
her remarkable ability gained for her
the same position when the city sys-
TEN was installed two years ago.
Miss Hensen made hosts of friends
while in the city who are sorry to see
her depart for the west.
The Seniors held a meeting last
week, at which President Gerald Hea-
ly appointed a committee to select
samples of class pins.
Examination week has again rolled
around.
Allan Shea withdrew from school
last Friday afternoon.
The Manitou has offered cash prize
to any Freshman who writes the best
story on any original subject, for the
January number.
Invitations have been issued for
dance to be given Wednesday, Dec. ~,
at the Opera house. The party will be
given by the High School Alumni.
Christmas week is splendid time
for such party to be given as many
of the graduates who are attending
outside schools could not be home at
any other time during the school year.
Arthur Gennrich is again with US,
after brief illness.
Mr. Dewey has warned the classes in
manual training not to allow waste
saturated with oil, to remain in the
cabinet or bench draws. He said it
should be thrown into the furnace as
soon as used, thus fire caused by
combustion will be- avoided
The Misses Harriet Kress and Carrie
Snitfen were Tuesday visitors.
The following letter received by

Mr.. Carter Kuhl,
Manitowoc, Wis.
My dear sir:
The Huns certainly used the
small horses of the Asiatic steppes
(ponies). They couldn't have had any
other-and they are always so describ-
ed by the European chronicles of the
time. A few leaders or individuals
might have secured chargers" as
plumber but such pictures are not us
ually scrupulous as to historical detail.
Very Truly
Willis M. West.
