HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.


our city have very kindly offered to
stand the expenses of our high school
debating team if it can induce the
Stevens Point team to come to this
city for a debate on 1.-THE Income
Tax" question. Our team debated
on this question at Stevens Point
several weeks ago and it is hoped by
all that date with that team can be
arranged for.
Very little has been going on this
week on account of exams which have
filled nearly all available time. The
first semester has ended and with the
second just beginning there are many
who have turned over new leaf and
will try to do better work this next
semester.
The Sophomore class has planned
its annual party for next Saturday
evening. The program for the event
has not been arranged, but there will
probably be games during the earlier
part of the evening after which dane
ing will be enjoyed. This class is
exceptionally large and it is hoped
that all class members and their par
ents will come. The parents have
been especially invited
The Humboldt school building has
purchased photograph with money
given by the pupils. They have also
bought a jardinere and this has been
furnished with beautiful fern by
Mr.. and Mrs. G. S. Gilbert.
The various Kinks which have been
made at some of the schools are fast
rounding into shape.
Through the courtesy of Mrs. Chas.
Barwig and others furniture has been
loaned to furnish the office of the
Grant school building
The applications for work in the
| evening classes at the high school
have been so numerous that some
have necessarily been turned away.
The skating Kinks at the various
schools are all in very good order and
are being enjoyed by the small chill
dren as we'll as the older ones.
Last evening the Lincoln debating
club helda meeting at the high school.
A very interesting program was given
on "The Panama Canal" After this
| fifteen minutes were devot ed to par
| liamentary drill. The society expects
| to put mock trial on, "The Case
| Against Casey" within the next
weeks. Parts have been assigned and
| practice will cagin soon. After the
meeting was adjourned the boys sang
popular songs and enjoyed themselves
| for awhile.
The prospect of entrance into the
| Lawrence college tournament has
been greatly increased by the winning
of the first basket ball game of the
season from Marshtield by the score
| of 80 to 10. The game was played at
the Y. NJ. G. A. before on apprecia-
tive, yet comparatively medium sized
house. The game from the beginning
| was of rough nature and several
times Sec. G. f. Ogden threatened to
call it unless the referee, who was
very unsatisfactory called, more close
| ly, the fouls made.
| The team work of the Marshfield
| boys slightly exceeded that of the
| locals but owing to the fine work of
our guards it was nearly impossible
| for our opponents to gather their
share of the baskets. In the scoring
line our team was led by Carl Egge-
brecht, Talbot Montgomery and Karl
Schmidt while Witt and E. Wright
of the Marshfield team did the best
work there. The SwiftneSS and ac-
curacy of the Marshfield five was evil
dent at all times and although oul
team outweighed their opponents
they had hard time to get the game.
