Y. M. c. A. NOTES.


A week ago this evening the high
school boys held it's weekly supper
followed by discussion groups. The
attendance has been growing and last
Tuesday evening was the banner up
to-date. This evening there will be a
supper again and it is hoped that the
number present. VIII be greater than
that OF last week. At first an en-
deavor was made to increase the num-
Der at the suppers by means of an
nouncements, but now with more in
dividual work the results are better.
The discussion groups are very inter
estlng and every boy that is in attend
ance regularly has found chat the
course has been doing him good. E.
w. BraRdenberg has one group which
is studying character and @. T.
Ogden's group has been taking up the
ideal teacher. The latter class has
been analyzing pretty carefully the
qualifications that are necessary to
the makeup of perfect teacher Of
which there are very few and we
doubt if one can be found that lives
up to these requirements.
The Glee club and orchestra are
practising regularly and have gotten
great deal of benefit out of the one
evening week that they have devoted
to this work. The orchestra has irn-
proved wonderfully under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Schultz and for them it
is as if they we're taking private
lessons.
Last Friday evening the lecture en-
National Glacier Park" was given
in the Y auditorium. The lecture
was very success sful financially and it
way very interesting to the many
listeners. Besides the many plates
shown on which the lecture was based
were very foe movies. Mr.. Ketchell
was very interesting talker and kept
the attention of his audience at all
times.
There has been but little bowling
the past two weeks compared to what
there was for several months before
that. The alleys have been empty a
great part of the time and from all
appearances the game is over at the Y
for this year.
The tennis court is not clearing off
as quickly as most of the Y members
wish that it would. 1t is in the
shade of the large building and so
does not get the sun as the northern
part of the atheletic field does.
Tennis Journeys will be pulled off as
soon as the weather permits and the
court can be gotten into shape 1t is
probable that new tennis court may
be put up in month or two but as
yet no definate plans have been made.
Prizes have been asked and as soon as
these are received an endeavor will be
made to get the necessary cash.
This week will be pretty active
one for the Y directors. This even
ing the gym exhibition will be carried
out as was planned several weeks ago
and for which every class has been
preparing special stunts besides the
regular which ought to be mighty
interesting to those who do not attend
the Y classes and for their wives.
These will be the Y leauge basket
ball games following the exhibition.
These games conclude the four team
tourney that has been going on once
a week for about three months. The
high school team is assured first place
because of their victory over the
Seniors last Tuesday evening.
The high school boys club held their
weekly supper last evening and in
stead of the regular discussion groups
Dr. Boetcker of Toledo, Ohio, spoke
for half an hour.
