HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Cecil johnson, Editor-in- Chief.

is generally CONCEDED 10 De resi-
full and refreshing period. While
the recent one has enabled US all to
enjoy this spirit, it has also been a
means of convenience. The latter
part of the school year is busy sea-
son. Many of the students have fore
seen this and have utilized the pres
ent vacation to lessen the labors of
the future. BY the Seniors, it has
been most cordially welcomed as a
time to make preparations for grad
uation.
Have we been thinking what kind
of baseball team c. H. S. is going
to turn out this year? Have we won
dered whether many are going to
turn out to make an efficient team
Have we considered what success it
will have if the student body is not
alert and ready to pack it? Perhaps
we didn't take the championship last
year. That's all the more reason
why we should this year. Maybe va
cation has placed a check on base
ball activity and interest. But now
the boys are going in for hard and
efficient practice, and winning
team will soon be organized. And
when the first game of the season
lis played on our grounds, we shall
all be there to witness victory for
&c. H. S. and when the team goes
away we shall give it our best en-
couragement. Won't we?
Work on the class play will begin
Immediately. Who the coach will be
has not as yet been determined.
Many are inquiring as to when
the annual will be ready for our dis
posal. We are glad that an inter-
est is being manifested. We all want
to see what the Memoir Is" con-
tains and what there is applicable to
US. However, we will have to permit
our patience to control our curiosity
for short time yet.
On Friday evening, April 16, will
occur the last intersociety debate of
the year which will determine the
championship in debating. For the
past two years this honor has been
bestowed upon the Roberts society.
In the first intersociety debate held
this year the Roosevelts were victor
ious over the Hawkeyes. At the
second debate, the Roberts won from
the Delivers, thus leaving the Roose-
welt and Roberts societies to compete
for the championship. Due to the
fact that the Roberts society has held
this title for the past two years the
Roosevelts are seemingly determined
to dispute their right to it this year
It is quite true that debates are ap-
Iparently dry and uninteresting to US
but would 1t be courteous to apply
that stigma to the debaters for Fri
day evening? No, it would not be
Applicable at least. This is the
closest that the Roosevelt society
ever got to the championship and
when they once get sniff of that
honored title, do you suppose thai
they will allow it to slip from them
Ion the other hand the Roberts who
know and appreciate its significance
are not going to submit to any intru'
der. What will be the result? o.
course one or the other will have
to grant a favor unwillingly, but YOU
can depend upon it that an earnest
lenthusiastice struggle will take place
and if one enjoys good, lively, vel
prepared discussion, Oe at the schOO
house on that evening. This is es
pecially applicable to the student
body. The attendance in the past hat
been unusually slack. Don't say thai
you dislike debates. You enjoy ar
up-to-date convincing discussion. YOU
should manifest an interest for the
sake of G. H. S. spirit, your own vel:
fare and respect for the debaters
Most all of the students in c. H. 8
have taken part in debate or at least
some literary activity. You realize
the significance of q good crowd and
know what it means to attempt to per.
form to a small crowd. The speakers
have been a long time in preparing
this debate and have put forth theil
best endeavors to the preparation Of
la mastery discussion. They are moi
going to deliver q lot Of s0-called
hot air" but have prepared thu
strongest arguments on the subject
Resolved, that laws for the estab
lishment of a minimum wage should
be enacted in the United States
The Roosevelt society will have tn,
affirmative upheld by Hazel Kellogg
Hugh Eaton and Charlie Tillson
The negative will be defended by tn,
Roberts society, represented by Ger
