HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

After this whenever Butler mgr
School wants good address it won't
take them longto find it for every stud.
ent will make bee-line for Prof. Hen.
derson. This was the conclusion the
students reached last Thursday morn
ing after listening to splendid talk on
'The Five Great PHILOSOPHERS Of Life"
by Prof. Henderson. The address made
greater impression on the students
than any other talk of the season and
we sincerely hope Prof. Henderson will
give US another like it in the near fut-
ure.
The new piano is being kept busy.
Miss Ruby Hart one of the Soph. girls
played in chapel and the students GER
tainly enjoyed her music. Miss Ruby's
music is always icon spirito" a quality
which always gets good hand from
the students.
Dora Seelinger was chapel visitor
last Thursday.

Yea, verify, say unto you; there
shall be debaters and more debates and
essays and more essays or else shall
Judgment surely rain upon We. Thus
hath the decree gone forth to the liter
airy societies from "the powers that
be-" and with despairing hearts we are
marching into line. Watch for the
fiery debates and youthful Patrick Hen
RVS.
Athletic Association Notes.
Our High School added two more vic
tories to their list by defeating Mound
City, Kansas, by score of Is to rs
(boys) and 26 to ? (girls.) The games
were exciting from the time referee
Brown first blew his whistle to the
close of the game. Mound City had the
advantage over our players in weight
and height while our boys strength lay
in their splendid team work. Our !
guards, Arnold and Vantrees featured
the game by their guarding and fast
team work. Our girls, like the boys
excelled in their team work and played .
a good game. Thompson and Bullock,
forwards, featured the game. Anna
belle just couldn't keep from throwing
the ball through the basket. Both the
girls and the boys of Mound City teams
were good losers and we must say that
they were one of the fairest teams that
we have ever had the pleasure of de-
feating.
Saturday, Dec. 6, both boys and girls
teams left on the noon train for Neva-
da, and that night courageously played
one of the fastest teams in the south
west part of the State. Owing to their
slick floor we were defeated the second
time by them. Nevada says, "Youll
have to hand it to Butler, for they stick
and are stayers." The game was very
exciting, and the referee allowed but
very little roughness. B. H. S. took +,
the defeat with smile, being glad to {
make such score against the fast '
team. c
No game scheduled for Friday.
