HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

position.
The new books of mechanical draw
ing have arrived and the classes have
started on the course. The high
school first and second year courses
are progressing very nicely. The
course consists of one hundred and
twenty hours a semester and includes
geometrical designs, perspective and
working drawings for furniture and
elementary architectural work The
eighth grade classes take up the
primary principles of mechanical
drawing. The last half of the semes-
ter is to be devoted to woodwork en-
tirely. The study of the varieties
and kinds of wood best for furniture
and architectural work will be car
ried out.
A number of freshmen who had
not received their eighth grade diplo-
mas in the spring were presented
with them on Wednesday.
Miss Rose German was high
school visitor Wednesday.
A post Office box, made in the man
ia, training department, has been in
stalled in the office.
Miss Graham was unable to meet
her class Thursday account Of illness.
Additional music books have been
ordered for the chorus as it is larger
than ever before in the history of the
school.
Gertrude Merklein and Gertrude
Smith were high school visitors Fri
day.
Mr.. Painter gave q short speech to
the high school on the subject of
"Schooi Spirit" In order to have q
successful school he said it was neces-
sary to give careful attention to
things said for the benefit of the
school and to do the things asked by
the head of the school, not because
we are forced to, but because they
are for the good of the whole.
Team work is also essential for
successful school and when an enter
prise is proposed for the benefit of
the school, all pupils ought to get be-
hind it and help push it along.
By going to school we should &C
quire individual habits Of self control
and learn to observe so that we can
choose for ourselves when it becomes
necessary.
Lorenz Lipinski entered high school
yesterday and enrolled in the junior
class.
Curtis BoOrman of Grand Rapids,
was high school visitor yesterday.
The work of the high school foot
ball team during the past few weeks
has shown that the team will be a
strong contender for the valley cham
pionship. Early in the season the
opposing teams would succeed in tear
ing through our line for 10 and Is
yds. at q time, but in the Amigo
game the line piled up nearly every
play and held the fast Amigo backs
scOreless through the entire game.
Our backfeld have demonstrated that
they can clearly hold their own
against any Of the teams and can be
depended on to gain frequently. In
two of the games thus far we have
been handicapped by the weather,
which necessitated the shortening of
the periods of play. Had the wealth
er been fair we would have piled up
larger score both against Marshfield
and Rhinelander. By comparative
scores we stand fine chance of de-
feating both Stevens Point and Grand
Rapids. We played Marshfield here
on a neutral field with periods short
ened and beat them $50, Marshfield
was defeated at Marshfeld by Grand
Rapids by the score of l2-0, thus
placing us on the same level as Grand
Rapids with slight advantage. Last
Saturday Stevens Point defeated
Marshfeld 1910 which puts the Point
team little better than the Rapids
and about even with Wausau. The
team to be feared, however, is Mer-
rill who succeeded in piling up 81
points against TOmahaWk a few weeks
ago. We play Merrill here November
4th and with a lot of hard work ought
to succeed in holding them down to a
low score. The past week has been
spent chiefly in strengthening the de-
Tense and to secure good formations.
Some of the alumni stars have been
helping with the coaching and the
team is now in fine working order.
If possible another game will be
played with the alumni this to pre-
pare for Saturdays game with Stew
ems Point.
A little more support from the
school during the scrimmages would
be much appreciated and it would
add materially to the working spirit
of the team if they knew they were
being watched and criticised from the
side lines.
Next Saturday the second team
goes to Merrill to play game with
the second team of that school. The
local seconds are a fast bunch and
ought to hold their own at Merrill.
