HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Items of Interest From the DEBORAH
High School, Reported by Our
Special Correspondent.

Mr.. p. A. Sveegen has been elected
and has accepted the English and
Norwegian position for the coming
year. He received his NJ. A. in 1909
and continued his study since for his
Phi. d., which he is within one year
of finishing. He has specialized in
English, languages, philosophy and
Norwegian, and has taught classes
in English and Norwegian in the u
of Nj. during the past two years.
Mr.. l.. l.. Caldwell addressed the
eighth grade on the civil war on
April 18th.
Rev. Moore, missionary to Korea,
addressed the high school Friday af-
ternoon. His talk was very much
enjoyed by everyone present.
The high school base ball team
made their first appearance Friday
in their new suits, donated by seven
teen business men.
Cfesco-Decorah Game.
The game between Cresco and De-
corah played last Friday, demon
strated number of things. Head
work was noticeably lacking on both
sides. Fielding errors were painfully
evident. The hits awarded were
mostly of the scratch variety. The
score, A to TO- in favor of Cresco,
does not give much of a line on what
may be expected in the next contest,
when both teams shall have had
more practice.
The DEBORAH players worthy of
personal mention are: Hjerleid,
Croft and Quandahl. Hjerleid's ac-
curacy in throwing to second made
the Cresco boys exceedingly wary
about attempting to steal. Baker at
the pitchers station was unfortunate
in not getting away we'll. Poor sup
port, however, was responsible for
most of the runs.
