HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Back again!


Hoorah for vacation! 1t commences
at $3.50 this afternoon and lasts un-
til $3.50 Monday morning, Jan. 8.
Class meetings are scarce and Wis
itors rarely appear.
Basket ball is booming. Daily prac-
tice and Coach Baker are putting the
team in fine shape. Tonight they go
to Montpelier. There is an attempt to
schedule a game with the alumni to
be played during vacation. In all,
about ten games are scheduled now
and yet that is not rnouoh. Go to it
boys. Remember the record of the
1918 team. go, thou, and do like
wise".
Rhetoricals come this afternoon. All
visitors welcome. Section ii has a
volunteer program.
A regular meeting of the debating
and literary society was held Monday
evening. The next meeting, January
5, will be open. The question is, Re
solved, that primitive man had more
freedom than modern man. The try
out for the teams will come about two
weeks after vacation. The question
will be given out so that the debaters
can work on it during vacation.
The first semester examinations
come the third week in January.
A few new classes will be started at
the beginning of the second semester.
Probably you know there are only two
terms this year and, consequently on
ly two final exams.
The great annual Fulton Williams
County Interscholastic Field Meet will
be held again at Wauseon May 9Th,
1914. Leland Biery represented our
student body in the conference of dele
gates at Archbold. 1t was voted to
add oratory to the list of events. This
event will be held in the evening at
the tabernacle and if half of the peo-
pie get in to hear it I'll be surprised.
Of course Wauseon High isn't any
third class school and we don't pro-
pose to get third again in that field
meet. The public spirited citizens of
this town built that athletic park for
US to win on, to uphold the reputation
of this town and we're going to do it.
Of course, you nave heard about
the plans for the disposal of the tab
arnacle. We have also. In fact, there
is chart covered with figures up
here as testimony of Monday even
ing's work. Wednesday morning 900
of the necessary $735 had been col
lected. This sum buys the tabernacle
and every nail it in. Next week the
seats in the middle row will be re-
moved and a good basketball floor put
in. Wednesday evening delegation
of boys accompanied Professor Biery
and Mr.. Altstetter to the tabernacle
to investigate the situation. Many of
these same boys will help lay the
floor next week. The tabernacle will
then be used for our meetings, de-
bates, basket ball games and enter
tainments as we'll as those of other
organizations. This will supply a
long felt need of a large public audi
torium and basket ball hall. The
building will be permitted to stand un-
til after the Chautauqua next sum-
mer after which we hope that the lum-
Der will be used in erecting a perma-
nent building. The responsibility for
the undertaking rests largely on Pro-
fessor Biery, Mr.. Alstetter and Mr..
Holman; they were the first to open
negotiations with the church board and
to top it off they agreed to take the
building themselves. Then Monday
evening number of our public spir-
tied citizens took the opportunity to
share some of the responsibility and
Joy of doing a good thing for Wau-
seon and the W. H. S.
