HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

A teachers meeting was held at the
high school last Thursday afternoon.
Very little business was done, the
teachers only being given their class
books.
The first lyceum of the year was
held last Friday afternoon from 1870
to 200 O'Clock. Karl Schmidt, last
years lyceum president, presided over
the meeting for the last time, as new
officers are to be elected next Thurs
day. Harry Kane was asked to act as
secretary for the meeting and the
following girls rendered very inter
| esting program: Ester Erlandson,
Erna Haupt, Mable Olson. Ethel Ross.
Last Thursday afternoon, during
tht study period, between lis and
l:30 p. M, the high school was kept
laughing by the entrance of about 40
boys wearing all colors and checks of
vests. The boys entered by twos and
threes and kept their coats open so
that their SNOWY vests could be plain
ly seen.
Rev. Niles of Menominee and Rev.
W. II. Gould of this city visited at
the high school last Thursday after
noon.
Isabel Kennedy, &c, visited at the
high school last Friday afternoon.
The Misses Ruth Alexander and
Helen Stewart and Ben Alexander
visited at the high school Thursday.
All city superintendent will gather
in Madison next Friday and Saturday,
Oct. and 5, for their annual conyen-
ton. Mr.. Tobey will attend from
this city.
Typewriting tests have not been
given as yet but will be the latter
part of this week.
The Misses Gertrude Merklein and
Gertrude and Emily Smith spent Fri
day afternoon at the high school Wis
iting.
Corrected and more fully prepared
programs were distributed to all
scholars in the high school last Thurs
day. These will have to do for all
scholars during this semester.
The second foot ball team of our
high school played a practice game
Friday with the New London high
school team which was going through
Wausau on its way to Merrill where
they played last Saturday. The out
come of the game was that the Wau-
sau boys played all around New Lon
don and when time was called the
game stood 80 in our boys favor.
The following was the line up for
Wausau: Theople Grauer, center; Bud
Jones, end guard; Fred Genrich, right
guard; A. Weinkauf, right tackle; Ed.
Sloan, end tackle; Claude Smith, right
end; Carl Goerling, left end; Henry
Gates, quarter back; Otto Eggebrecht,
left half back; Charlie Pond, fui.
back.
In all probability the lineup of the
second team will be given thorough
shakeup before very long.
Next Saturday the first team will
play at Merrill with the high schools
first team. The second team will be
taken along also from statements
made lately. Merrill is very enthusi-
astic over foot ball, much more from
appearances that Wausau is.
We think that the athletic associa-
tion of the high school ought to be
given better support by the scholars
and also by outsiders. The boys have
been very faithful in coming out to
practice every night after school.
There was very small attendance at
the game Saturday and very small
percentage of students.
Miss King and Miss Strassen both
teachers here last year are now teach
ing in Oshkosh.
Several of the grade teachers have
commenced teaching folk dances again
A few of the teachers entertained
at luncheon Saturday evening in
honor of DIR. Nellie Fisher who de-
parted for Cleveland, o., Monday.
1t is rumored that all but Is pupils
are taking English.
Miss Farmer is now in charge of the
Sth grade in the Franklin school.
About ten of the high school stu
dents from Schofield have left and are
attending the freshman department
recently started in that village.
wAUsAU 66 : RHINELANDER 0
One of the best exhibitions of foot
ball, ever seen on the local gridiron
was given last Saturday, when Rhine
lander went down in defeat before
Wausau, by the score of sc to o.. If
the difference in the score means any
thing it is that good generalship and
foot ball knowledge on the part of
one team, secured victory over
another team of equal weight and
| experience.
Wausau received the kick off on
her 20 yard line and advanced Is
yards before being downed. THEN
followed straight foot ball, in which
half backs, Montgomery and Egge-
brecht, were prominent in far end
runs, netting touchdown in four
minutes of play. The first half ended
with the score % to in Wausau's
favor.
