HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Col. WatrouS, who was in this CITY
several days last week, gave very in
tereSting talk on the various wars in
which the United States has been en-
gagged at the high school last Thurs
day.
Ira Q. Painter, principal of the high
school, spent the latter part of last
week. in Madison attending a teach
ers' Convention held in that city.
Miss Clark also attended the conven-
ton from the high school. Both re-
turned in time to resume their duties
yesterday.
Next Friday evening, at the Y. NJ
Q. A, the Wausau high school basket
ball five willSarray themselves in bat
tie against the Tomahawk team, and
that they will have a mighty hard
game is the general opinion. The
Tomahawk five has been playing fine
ball lately, although they cannot come
up to our four straight victories. Two
weeks ago they lost to Grand Rapids,
q TO 20, the team which the locals
trimmed 22-17 last Friday, and from
this, one can imagine shat the game
will be good one. Our boys are out
practicing about every evening after
school, and everything is being done
to keep the team in excellent trim
up to what they have been during the
past few weeks. With another game
or so, the entrance to the tourna-
ment at Oshkosh will be assured.
and the motto of our high school
boys is now, ION to Oshkosh, On to
Oshkosh" The team has certainly
shown themselves fine by winning
three games on neutral floor and this,
ii entrance to the Lawrence college
tournament is secured, will certainly
aid them in the final result of the
year.
The first meeting of the Latin club
of the high school was held last
Thursday after school at the high
school. 1t was not first intended to
have the meeting in the afternoon, but
owing to various objections the meet
ing was held on Thursday afternoon
after school. The following program
was rendered:
Explanation of Club. Fred Genrich
The School Boys Dream .....
......... Hobart Edmontls Clement Olson
Myths ...... Eileen McNesl. Lucille Lehrbas
Duet 80. $1,000. Lucille Lehibas, Ruth Wilson
On Wednesday evening next the
high school Lincoln Debating society
will entertain it's members and ladies
to sleigh ride. The sleigh ride
which was planned for several weeks
ago, was postponed Gil account of the
poor weather at that time.
The Freshman Debating society
will hold its weekly meeting next
Thursday evening at the high school.
All members wishing to try out for
the Freshmen Debating team are
going to talk upon the subject of the
PHILIPPINE islands. A fine debate is
assured.
There will be three straight basket
ball games here at home within the
next three weeks. The high school
first team plays Tomahawk next Fri
day; then Amigo the following Fri
day, and then Merrill will finish the
season. After this, if hopes are
realized, Oshkosh will be the last
place for the team to play. Surely
the gym at the Y. M. G. A. ought to
be crowded with large audience to
witness such team play.
The Grand Rapids high school bas-
ket ball team met defeat at the hands
of the locals last Friday evening by
the score of 22-l7. This is the fourth
straight victory for our boys and at
present Oshkosh looks quite possible
The game was fast and swift, even
though many fouls were called. There
were u fouls in all, Schmidt getting
IL and Mohlke 10, and here Schmidt
came out in the leaC getting of a
possible II free throws. During the
first half of the game luck was
against as, and the score stood 1910
in Grand Rapids favor. The Rapids
fellows were quite confident that they
would win and they did not hesitate
to say so. All of the Wausau boys
played good ball. Pope was held Close
but managed tG g seetG-t his baskets as all
of the others did, excepting Swanson
and Christian. Schmidt and Egge-
brecht both played a fine game, doing
their work up in fine shape. During
the latter part of the game our boys
made the baskets rattle and at the
end won 22-l7, where at first it seemed
as if defeat would surely come.
