!, HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The Winona Aggies will be here
Friday, Feb. 10th to play the High
school five. This promises to be
very good game, to say the least, for
the Aggies have strong team and
Plymouth straight lineup of the
season will be on the floor. With a
good crowd and an abundance of
well directed enthusiasm of the right
sort, the home boys should win.
They did some excellent work in
the game with South Bend last
Saturday, showing some good fight
ing spirit. During the present week
the team has had some good prac-
tees with the second team and are
trying hard for this game. Let
every P. H. S. booster turn out for
this game and cheer for our team.
Don Stephenson will lead the yells
and the High School Band will
play.
Coach H. W. Outer has recently
ordered sweater with the letter
"P" on it for each member of the
team who has played in half or more
of the games and won his "P. !"
This practice is found in every col
lege and should encourage the boys
on the teams to do their best for the
school. The track and base ball
teams will also receive these letters
at the end of the season.
There will be about six more bas-
ket ball games and then the base
ball season starts with a game at
Michigan City, whom we defeated
in basket ball several weeks ago.
We might say here that Plym-
outh High school has every chance
for excelling in all forms Of athletics
next year. For the past two or
three years we have not done much
in this line but now the interest
has revived, due to the unceasing ef-
forts of Prof. Outer and by next
season we should be prepared to
carry off the state championship
honors if this spirit increases as it
has during the past few months.
1t might be added that the Sec
ond Team in basket ball is endeavor
ing to schedule a few games for the
remainder of the season which closes
about the first of April This team
will be picked, no doubt, from the
following fellows: Ness, Lemert,
Evans, Baker, L. Wise, Jacox, Holz-
bauer. Nolan. Suit, HI. Houghton
and several others who are trying
out. Their weight average is about
100 pounds, with the exception of
the heavyweight champion, Hal
Houghton.
The Senior class met Wednesday
evening and elected Roland Metsker
Valedictorian. The other places will
be filed the first of the week.
Sophomores are having their
pictures taken for the Annual this
week and next come the Freshmen.
The organization including the
Basket Ball Team, Orchestra, Band,
Girls Glee Club, Boys Chorus,
Quartet for county musical contest
etc., will also have their respective
pictures made March 1.
Some of our enterprising Juniors
have been Dragging considerably of
late about how easy Geometry III
and English VI were under the new
instructors. Brit the other day
something hapr ened which caused
them to change their opinions on
this subject This was nothing else
but an examination in each subject
in which large number of them
fiunked. Now they don't think
these subjects are such "snap'
after all, for the snapped" got
snapped" good and proper.
The entire Physics class passed
this month with good grades in near
ly every case. Here's hoping we
may be able to keep it up during the
remaining three months.
Several good stories have been
handed in to the Editors of the
Annual to date and more are being
| written. All stories must be In by
April 1st to insure publications.
The Freshmen and Sophomores
have received new classics for Eng
lish, the study of which will be be-
gun next week.
Walter Bowel, we are pleased to
learn, is gaining now and hopes to
be able to resume his school duties
inside of several weeks. We shall
all we glad to see him back among
us in the near future.
The Seniors are working hard on
their class play, which they hope
to be able to present Immediately
after Easter. Miss Sullivan is
directing the play.

ant ,ed subscription list for the
"I,enior Annual The price of the
book is to be seventy-fve cents with
