In March, 1467, the Scot tisI parliament decreed that football and golf be utterly cried down and not used,o and in 14So it enacted ''that in no place of the realm Scot land shall there be used football, golf or other such improbable sports" This was in the reign of James ", and yet the records show that both James ". and James V. played golf James I. of England was a devotee of the game and once on visit to Scotland chose for his partner in match game for a large stake q shoemaker named John Paterson.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Florence McC Editor-in-C Chief

LnaI were Udue IN tHe N1SQ SCnOO
notes last weel The first is in
regard to eligibility OF Seniors and
Fourth Year Specials for gradua,
ton. Candidates must have 81
credits at the beginning Of the last
period, instead Of the last sir
months. and also must be making
grades Of at least q S per, ent in the
studies that are pursuing,
which will be enoueh TO give them
80 credits. The second mistake Is
in regard to the teaching OF Cram
mar in the high school. Miss
Schneider will take special rhasee
Of this work instead OF teaching
this class regularly as was stated.
Z The, semester examinations have
come and gone and both teachers
and pupils are glad of It. The pu-
pills were given two days for the
examinations this year instead OF
three days and q half, as has been
given before. & II is felt that the
examinations In high school should
not be made too long Or too diff

ton to the debate tiere will be

program. among which we have
been promised the first appearance
OF the Boys Glee club. ~ s
Monday morning the high school
listened to a very interecting talk
by DR.. Cooper, president OF Upper
Iowa University. He attempted to
persuade his audience that they did
like poetry, even though some Of
them were strongly Of the opinion
that they did not The attention
that prevailed throughout the entire
talk on poetry was sufficient to
prove the speakers point. N
IS Recesses have been abandoned in.
the seventh and eighth grades. It
was thought that they caused too
much CONFUSION. Instead, however,
simple forms Of physical culture
will be given. III

The program for the second SEM
ester Is practically the same AS
that OF the first. Three new subjects
have been added: Grammar, Physi-
cal Geography and High Algebra.
Bookkeeping and Botany will not
be offered as there were too few

THE DESERTED TULIP RED.

In a rambling, quaint old "a rdcn,
With its gateway TO the sea.
Lies tulip bed whose blossoms
In the Wild weeds growing free
Court no courteous or maidens
Glad no passing eye, ! trow;
But the tulips there are noddine
Proudly as of long ago.
Underneath the blasted linden
Leans moss grown, crumbling seat:
once the sacred tryst of friendship.
Now the weeds are crowded to IT,
There the wild bull thistles grow.
Choking. killing, but not sitting
The old songs of long ago.
Comes the curfew from the distance.
From some modest bell whose tongue
Is attuned to calm and solace
And a thousand songs are flung
Into paeans-sWeetnes sadness,
Glory, Vaor, there beside
The old garden in Its beauty
Where the tulips lift with pride.
Some are red and crimson glowing
Some like lilies white and pure.
Some are darksome as the midnight.
But they linger and endure
Winning kisses from the angels
Proud old tulips growing free
And each kiss It is n raindror
In the garden by the sea.
