HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
The spring vacation comes next
week. A week Of rest will be Just
what many of the high school pupils
need before beginning the final work
for the year. Practically only seven
weeks of real work remain after
April fifth. The Seniors will I'M
doubtedly begin work on their opera
and play the week of the vacation.
Track work is due to begin in not
more than a week AS soon as the
ground is cleared of snow and the
track in shape for use, the athletics will
be in regular training, preparing for
the several meets to take place in
April. The basketball team will have
completed its work by that time and
undoubtedly all the members of that
team will be out for track. They are
all in the best of trim for such work.
OF last years stars Herman Riebe is
one of the remaining and big things
are expected of aim. Myron Duncan
is also back and in the shot should
prove very valuable after his showing
at the Point last year.
The Seniors are deciding on class
colors and motto. The class colors
will probably be red and white. AS
to the motto, the committee appointed
is in doubt as to whether an English,
German or Latin one is desired. This
will be picked out within several
days.
The Latin department under Miss
Smithies has been doing great deal
of practical work, that of finding and
being able to use Latin words which
have been compounded with the Eng
fish and are used in the English lam
guage. This work should be very in
teresting and is certainly a hell to
the pupils in increasing their vocabu-
larry. One always notices the i'm
mense vocabulary of a Latin student.
And then they say Latin is not a
practical, up-to-date study.
Tomorrow afternoon following the
regular school session the girls of the
high school will engage in their an
nual basket ball tournament. The
young ladies who will participate
have been practising for some time
and they all play an excellent game.
A small admission will be charged for
admittance. Last year the senior
class won the trophy up for the win
ner of the meet, but as that class
graduated last June the cup is in no
ones hands at present. Every team
has an excellent chance to capture
the cup for its class but of them all,
the seniors are rather expected to
take the honorS. The teams are lined
up as follows: Seniors-Evelyn Will
terding, center; Bessie Mccormick
and Mildred Miller, guards; Alice
Tobey and Lottie Hogan, forwards.
Juniors-Irmgart Giesler, center;
Esther D0nnelly and Lucille Lehrbas,
forwards; Florence Weise and Esther
Rifieman, guards Sophomores-Le-
ona Erdman, center; Gertrude Dionne
and Evelyn Gondron, forwards; Friede
Dickhoff and Lorena Young, guards.
Freshmen-Rose Dahlman, center;
Rose Wahlen and Myrtle Larson. for
wards; Emma Jarvis and jeanette
Nequette, guards. The games are
scheduled to begin at 3 AS sharp.
A special chorus has been organized
by Miss Razor for the purpose of
singing at the District Oratorical con-
test which will occur here sometime
in April. The same chorus or one
composed of very nearly all the men,
bers of the present one, will form the
baccalaurate chorus. The baccalau-
rate chorus is generally made up only
of seniors.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Ned had turned to shake off his clog,
ging friends when June. drawn by
some intangible force. wheeled slowly
and looked In that direction. She saw
only that it was her husband.
"Nedr' she cried
Both Cunningham and Blye paled as
they saw that movement and what
had caused it. AS by simultaneous
impulse they took her by the arms. one
Oh each side, and turned her toward
the corner entrance near which they
had sat.
II won't CO." she declared and tried
to hang back. but they forced her out
of the door.
Ned Warner saw June's piteous face
as she half turned it to look back. saw
her being kidnapped from under his
very eyes. and. bursting through the
group which impeded him. be made a
dash among the tables and across the /
restaurant
Too late. He reached the corner en-
trance only in time to see Blye's luxu- |
riOus limousine whirl away up the |
street June was frantically determin |
ed that she woulo not go where they |
were taking her. Mrs. Willard was
pale and panic stricken. but the other
three carried out their preteDse of !
laughing coercion On the front seat |

ian chauffeur. sat T. ]. Edwards. the
round headed. heavy man. and his
thick lidded eyes peered constantly
back through the glass. and there was
a firm set to his thick lips.
There was no one at the lonely dock
upon which the swiftly speeding IL
mousine stopped abruptly. no one to
hear or heed the call for help which
June tried 70 send up above the noisy
laughter of FIVE of her companions. for
now Edwards and Scatti Joined loudly
In the hilarity.
There was a cold. stern voice in
June's ear
We've had quite enough of this hys
terra. You're going along" 1t was
the voice of Gilbert Blye.
1t was be who. with Grin Cunning

into the motorbcat which lay along
side. and in another moment all except
Scati were speeding swiftly away to-
ward the long. low yacht which lay
midway of the misty river.
