HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Florence McCook, Editor-in-C Chief
John Kakac, Athletic Editor.

1t is not necessary t., state that
Harmony outclassed Cresco on the
diamond last Friday. Cresco went
up in the air the first inning and
stayed there throughout tn, game.
Cresco's team showed tt y lack OF
practice and teamwork, while the
Harmony team played good ball.
Here We wish to state th,t it takes
more than a score of eleven to two
to discourage the c. H. s. Our
team is going tc q soEao stiff prac-
ticing this week and when West
Union pulls into Cresco next Friday
they will find determined base ball
team, a team that is going to play
gooG base ball and :. team that is
going to win if backed by the sup
porters of c. H. S. BY the support
ers of c. H. S. we do not mean the
people who go about With long faces
! and cannot stand by team in de-
feat but those that support us in de-
feat. Cresco has the reputation of
being a good loser and we like the
people who will lose with us.
The Roosevelt and Dolliver socie-
ties will give their final afternoon
program next Friday. These will be
the last of these programs this year.
Almost every Friday afternoon
throughout the year, one of the four
societies has given a program in the
H. S. assembly room These pro-
grams have all been very good and
have been entertaining as well as
helpful to most of the pupils. Every
student in high school has appeared
at least once during the year at one
of these programs and it is in this
way that many of the new pupils
have gained an interest in this work
and been able to go on with it and
do better in the inter-society pro-
grams. While these programs have
meant work for most of the pupils
yet we feel that the good derived
from them outweighs any evil re-
sulting from the extra work in prep
aration for these programs.
Last Thursday afternoon the
Physics class went up to Will Rath-
ert's home to see his wireless tele-
graph system. Will has an excellent
system and the trip proved very
helpful to the class.
DR.. Robertson was elected by the
class of 1914 to deliver the baccalau-
reate address.
The people Of the town had an
opportunity to hear the high school
band Friday. Everyone remarked
upon the progress this organization
is making. 1t is the plan now to
put on a grand outdoor music fest,
Friday, May 22nd. All the musical
organizations of the high school will
take part in this. There will be rep
resentatives from the public speak
ing department. We are sure that
this is going to be a high class mu-
steal entertainment.
For the first time in four years
Harmony defeated Cresco on her
home ground. The game proved a
walk-away for Harmony. Cresco
high school has not been demanding
eligibility lists from the Minnesota
high schools, consequently these
towns do not play an all high school
team. Although Cresco played very
poorly, there were one or two COM
mendable features of the bow work.
McVety pitched good game and
with the right kind of support would
have scored a shut-out. Carmen
caught we'll considering that it was
his first game and he had the Har-
mony players afraid to steal. Kakac
looked them over pretty we'll, draw
ing three walks in five times up.
Following are the names of the pu-
pills who won Palmer buttons for ef-
fcient work in penmanship. The
specimens that were sent by these
pupils were judged by critics of the
Palmer school at Cedar Rapids.
