for the new semester is
progressing very nicely. A larger
number of pupils are enrolled in the
class and the time will be devoted
mostly to woodwork.

ing the Merrill schools. Her classes
were taken charge of by the other

on vigorously this semester and al

debate on the "Advisability of the
Commission Form of Government" for
February 18th.
The basket ball practice has been
progressing very nicely and prepare
tions are being made for hard game
at Marshfeld Friday. Marshfield has
an exceptionally good team this year
and played hard game with Amigo
on January Goth. They outplayed
Amigo the first half and had
SIS in their favor but were defeated
in the second half by the score of
2l-13. This makes both Marshfeld
and Amigo look like formidable rivals
and hard game is expected. The
first and second teams had a hard
practice at the Y Saturday and the
score ended 1924 in favor of the frsts.
The lineup for the team for Friday
will probably be:
Johnson, forward.
Montgomery, a"
Capt. Turner, center.
Eggebrecht, guard.
Ruder,

high school has been completed and
is as follows
Feb. 9th-Marshfield at Marshfeld.
