High School. Notes.

Will Marsh, Athletic Editor.

The total amount Of money given
by the Cresco Public Schools to the
Belgian relief fund amounted to
$136. We have reason to feel
proud of the spirit manifested by
the pupils, as most of them felt
that it was not only duty but a
privilege to help these unfortunate
people.

During the Thanksgiving vacation
all of the school buildings We're
thoroughly cleaned, the floors scrub

special effort this year to keep the

On Friday evening Of last week
Mr.. Edmonson, known by all the
boys and all the people as "Hub, "
gave the foot ball squad Thanks
giving dinner. 1t was without ex-
ception the best event that We have
attended in a long while. There
were so many courses that along
about the fifteenth or sixteenth. we
lost count, and were merely wonder
ing what would me next. After
all Of the chicken and turkey and
oysters and cranberry sauce. Ice
cream, cake, coffee, soup, nuts, and
so forth had been eaten. Will Rath-
POSTMASTER Of the evening, called
upon some of those present for
speeches. Mr.. Luce made the long
est speech and as yet it has not
been figured out how he could do
so. as apparently he ate as much
as the rest of the boys With the ex-
ception of Chauncey Peck and Boyd
McVety. John Champlin and Will
Davis also gave appropriate talks.
Mr.. Tiss on behalf of the school
board and faculty thanked Mr.. Ed
monson for the interest he had talk
en- in the boys and showed him that
his efforts We're appreciated. This
was the shortest talk of the evening,
the reason we suppose, was that this
individual was too full for utter
ance. The first part of the even
ing closed with few yells and
songs.
Well, we have all survived after
the strenuous six weeks examina-
tons. Thanksgiving vacation is
over and we are back for another
plunge.
