High School News.

A high school orchestra is the thing
the faculty, aided by Miss Cutland,
is endeavoring to produce. AS mat
ter of fact no student can play any
instrument other than the piano but
we are glad to note that some are now
taking lessons from Miss Cut
land on other instruments. The cor
net is an instrument that can hardly
be dispensed with in an orchestra and
Mr.. Mcmahon is trying hard to get
someone to play one. He is trying so
hard to create an orchestra that he
has offered each and every student
that improves sufficiently on any in
strument other than the piano, sim
gle semester credit. For the present
and the present is from now until the
holidays, at least, few outsiders or
townspeople will endeavor to help the
faculty and Miss Cutland form an or
chestra which will be the source of
music for all high school entertain
ments.
The Carter gym is to be used as fol-
lows:
Monday evening-high school boys.
Tuesday evening town boys.
Wednesday evening high school
girls.
Thursday evening-the high school
boys.
Friday evening boys.
Saturday evening-married ladies
team.
A new piano was bought and placed
in the high school last week.
The high school campus is a scene
of enjoyment every day of the week
since the students have been supplied
with the necessities of indoor baseball,
basket ball and tennis.
The first and fourth year classes
have joined to play a series of indoor
baseball games against the second and
third year classes, also allied.
The high school faculty as well as
the students would be much obliged
to any alumnus having a copy of the
constitution and bylaws of the Lin
colnian Literary society of the Eagle
River high school if they would loan
it until recopied.
Mrs. Grant Cook and Miss Marion
Garrison were visitors Thursday.
Mrs. Mae E. Lawler visited school
Friday.
In the report of the first period,
published last week, an error was
made in the highest averages in the
first year. The averages should have
been: Alice Juve, LIST; Marion Nema
check and Gwynevere Mcintyre, End;
Elizabeth Adomites, 3rd. Miss Nema-
checks name was unintentionally mis-
placed by the newspaper compositor.

Broke Nose on Telephone.

Mrs. Geo. H. Jackson came out
second best in a mouse hunt Fri
day. The animal was discovered
in the living room of the Jackson

so did its pursuer but in doing so
the lady struck her nose on the

not the telephone.) The mo use
