HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.


different from the jangling d1scords
which used to issue from the old piano.
Following this Roy Shessler 10, the
winner in the county declamatory con-
test last year, who has been attending
school at the Warrensburg Normal,
gave US talk, which ended in the right
way-Glad to be back home-no place
like good old Butler High.
The assembly was turned over to Miss
Smith and the yell leaders. who pro-
ceeded to arouse enthusiasm for the
Basket ball game Thanksgiving after
noon. One new yell had been made for
the occasion and was Justify yelled.
'Crazy Bill
Simple Ada
Look who's here
Look, Nevada"
Ed Grout has been elected the Ath-
letic Association reporter.
The Piano Benefit given by the stud
ents at the opera house Wednesday was
big success. Sufficient money was
taken in to entirely clear the piano of
debt and we wish to thank the people
of Butler for the hearty support they
have given US, not only by buying
Benefit tickets, but by their private
subscriptions.
Athletic Association Notes.
Who won at Urich? We did. Just
keep in mind the fact that we have
habit of winning what we 60 about,
The game was exciting from start to
finish. The first half ended with tie
score of 16 to Is. In the last half our
boys again made Is, while Urich made
Ia, leaving the score 80 to 80 in favor
of B. H. S.
Curly and Capt. Williams featured
the game, Curly covering himself with
glory on free throws and Capt. by his
clean field goals from the side. Harper
our Sub center, also did well.
The team was after the game, de-
lightfully entertained by the Urich
students.
On their arrival at Butler the next
day, the boys were met by an advance
guard of B. H. S. students rejoicing
over their victory.
AS for that game with Nevada, we
did not win it, we will have to admit.
But never did our teams show more de-
termination, more energy, and more
pluck than on Thanksgiving afternoon
when they went down to defeat. The
Nevada teams were both older and had
had more experience than our boys and
girls. Furthermore the girls were COM
PEELED by circumstances to use mex
perienced substitutes. Altogether the
odds were against both of our teams
but we did our best and more than that
no one can do. Financially, the games
were a success. About SIS was re-
ceived at the door which was sufficient
to entirely clear the association from
debt and still leave some money in the
treasury.
FRESHMEN NOTES.
Joy reigned Wednesday for no les
sons were assigned to ruffie the calm
Of our Thanksgiving spirits.
The Freshmen modestly beg to state
that they sold $40 worth of tickets for
the high school play. Pretty good
for the "Frisky Freshmen Eth?
The Freshmen have the funniest feel
ing this week. They'd very much like
for some one to diagnose their case.
They are feeling two exactly opposite
all at one time. They are
glad almost to shouting because Miss
McGregor has fully recovered from the
fever and is back at work in room -.
They are sad-almost to distraction be-
cause MISS Marguerite will rot be
here too. So Whatever shall poor.
1'reshie do?
Miss Smith notices the number of
Freshmen in her section room (audito-
'ium) has increased lately. On closer
observation she might ascertain that
hey are not Freshmen at all-only
ickle Sophmores, Juniors and Seniors,
Who would join the merry group around /,
he new piano.
SOPHMORE NOTES. /
We Sophmores are putting aside all
uperf1uous merriment this week and
re facing the cold and hard facts that
ests in Caesar and Geometry are both
oming. We have covered seventeen
hapters in Caesar since the last test
nd we fear that our minds will not be
BILE to endure the strain, II
There were twelve or thirteen Of our I
smbers missing last Friday but no
lie blames them for going home to
'end Thanksgiving and many of them
ring 30 far from town that it was in
nvenient to return to school Friday.
