HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

1
/ Back again after two weeks of va
cation. The attendance is good so
far and we see no reason why it
| should be otherwise in the future.
Many sore arms are in evidence but
aside from that there appears to be
no bad results from vaccination.
Examinations will begin Wednes-
Iday. In the original schedule there
were but two conflicts so the schedule
Twill remain unchanged.
!. Many of US appreciate the reviews
this week. Memory is tickle thing
in school work.
There was a meeting of the debat-
ing society Monday evening. The at
tendance was not large but everyone
was enthusiastic and that made a
real lively meeting. The debate was
extemporaneous, James Bard champ
iening one side and Bryan Heise the
other. Mr.. Holman gave us the ques-
ton for the tryout to be held in three
weeks, Watch this column for exact
date. Here is the question: Gre
solved that the states should estab-
ish schedules of minimum wages for
unsklled workmen, constitutionaliy
conceded" If you have any informa-
ton or ideas on the subject they
would be appreciated by any of those
Intending to try out. Two teams will
be chosen in this tryout. Another
team may be chosen later on. Re-
member the tryout is free and we
cordially invite your presence. This
will be the year OF the hardest de-
batting battles We have ever had.
Jennine,~ Bushey, Moine. Hampshire.
Howard, Paxton, Showalter and man.
others of our past debaters are not
here this year so some new talent
lis sure to arise on our horizon. Heise
and McClarren are the only debate
of last years team still attending
school here. Turnout and boost!
The girls physical culture class met
Tuesday evening. We presume that
a few sore arms accompanied some of
the rirls in their exercises.
By the way, if this kind of wealth
er does not cease pretty soon some
of our athletes will be out ~racticing.
Wednesday the athletic bug got ua-
der motion. Much talk of first CD
place in the field meet but no fatali-
ties from over-training reported so
far.
There has been no boys basketball
practice this week. 1t will be re-
sumed again next week with added
vim after the long rest.
Wednesday morning we had the
pleasure of listening to DIR. Roberts
of the Ohio Wesleyan University for
few minutes during chapel. In his
talk he brought out, among other
things, that but six per cent of the
school children of the United States
ever graduate from high school, while
but two per cent of the children ever
graduate from any college, and out
of that two per cent comes seventy
five per cent of Americas leading men
today. Pretty good record for the
educational institutions of America,
that last seventy-five per cent His
talk contained many illustrations of
students working their way through
college. Professor Biery spoke for
few moments after DIR. Roberts. In
his speech, Professor Biery pointed
out the advantages to those working
their way through, who have def
mite means or trade in which they are
proficient. DIR. Roberts was here two
years. ago. We would welcome him
again.
THEM next number of the lecture
course will come Friday evening. Feb
ruary 9Th. We have missed one of
the numbers, the Raweis Family,
which should, have been here January
18th, but which was eliminated by
the quarantine AS the lecture COM
mittee was under contract to hold the
'eeture on that evening, they will
have to pay the fee just the same as
if they had had the entertainment.
The plan however is to give the pat
rons of the Lecture Course an extra
leeturdsor entertainment free, so that
holders of season tickets will get all
the entertainments for which they
have paid.
Mrs; Leonora Lake, of Indianapolis,
is the next regular lecturer on the
course and every one should hear this
nreat woman. Her lecture will be a
plea for the home.
