Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon on the high
school campus, occurred Wausau's
Second Annual May Fete, it having
been postponed from Thursday to
Monday on account Of inclement
weather, Although the weatherman
was not quite as kind to those partic-
| ipating as he might have been, the
clouds which were overhead a good
part of the afternoon, did not send
down torrent of rain. An audience
of over 1000 witnessed the wonderful
fete and paid a small admission which
will be used to buy playground appar-
atus. There were goodly number
OF out of town visitors who came here
May fetes given annually in the state.
1t was estimated by those present
that there were $500 scholars taking
part in the fete. Although the exer-
ciseS last year seemed wonderful TO
US all it was excelled by that of yes
terday. Several new features were
added, including the Military march
by sixteen high school girls and forty
eight boys, thirty-two of which were
high school scholars. The girls were
ably trained for this by Miss Todd
while X. X. Borsack had charge of
the forty-eight boys. This was one of
the most beautiful events of the af-
ternoon. The sash drill was also
new feature, given in place of last
years flower drill and this was re-
ceived very enthusiastically.
The grand march this year was
an interesting feature. 1t was. led
by Frank Rowley, who was followed by
Carl Eggebrecht and Henry Schultz,
who carried the Wausau high school
banner. Behind these boys Carl
Schmidt and Hubert Christian walked
bearing the beautiful banner won by
the basket ball team at Oshkosh.
Irwin Foltz and Edwin LEM came
third with the banner taken by the
track team. The May queen followed
and after her came the presidents of
the four high school classes with
their banners. The lower grades fol-
lowed in order.
The May fete yesterday was the
second annual and was carried out
under the supervision of Miss Marilla
Zellhoefer Much of the credit of the
splendid showing made by the pupils
this year as well as last belongs to
Miss Zellhoefer who has worked in
ceSsantly to achieve success for this
new and novel way of entertaining.
All of the teachers enlisted in the
fete deserve great praise for their
work.
The grounds were splendidly ar
ranged, there being reserved feats for
about 500 around the campus.
The May queen was Miss Helen
Johnson of the Irving building. She
was attended by Mark Belanger.
This is the first time that the May
queen has ever been crowned in this
city.
Before the big events of the after
noon the "W" was awarded TO all
