HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The past week has been an import
ant one in the high school for must
cal activities. A large number of
musical organizations have been
formed. A new system in the must
cal department has been introduced
under the direction Of Miss Emma L.
Roeser. All high school voices are
divided into four choruses, ranking
according to the quality of voice and
past musical preparation OF the stu
dent. This system makes it possible
for the more advanced to go on with
their musical work and it gives those
who have received less training
chance to grasp a more accurate
knowledge of the subject. 1t is also
thought that this system will arouse
more enthusiasm, and create rivalry
and ambition. To promote still
| greater interest among the students,
each division has been formally or
| ganized, and will adopt a suitable
Greek or other name, by which it
may be distinguished.
On Tuesday the Boys Glee club
with a chorus of about forty voices
was organized and the following Off
GERS were chosen: President-Clyde
Hayden, vice-president-Julius Wilke,
secretary and treasurer-Roy Sain-
don. Executive committee-Sa
Stockum, Alfred Kiefer, Eric Kragen-
brink and Howard Wilterding.
The Girls Glee club was organized
Wednesday with membership of
about sixty. Election of officers took
place and the following were chosen:
President Edna Chellis, vice-pres.-
Elvira Balassa, secretary and treas
urer-Florence Wilson, executive
committee Ermgard p Geisler, Es-
Their Donnelly, Lily Larson and
Kathleen Slocum.
Each of these societies will adopt a
title. tbs planned that later in the
season both these societies unite their
| efforts and give a cantata in the form
of light opera.
The high school orchestra was or
ganized Friday, but owing to many
other doings all the members didn't
respond. Another feature of the
present years musical work is violin
and mandolin club which is being
formed. It's object is to promote in
terest among students who play or
would like to play any stringed, or in
fact, any orchestra instrument. For
very small fee, private instructions
will be given these students during
the club meetings, on any instrument
they have desire, to learn to play.
| A large attendance is urged. All of
these musical organizations are under
the direction of Miss Emma L.
Roeser, with the assistance Of Miss
| Hazel Hopkins.
The new victrola has been received
and has been temporarily placed in a
noticeable place on the rostrum. A
few pleasing selections, adjusted by
"Bandmaster'' Elvin Hartlett, were
played on it Friday afternoon, when
short mass meeting was held to
cheer the team that departed to fight
the enemy at Stevens Point.
The beautiful portrait of Lincoln,
presented to the school by the ladies
of the G. A. r. has been hung in a
CONSPICUOUS place in the science lee
ture hall, where Abe's impressive
countenance proves source of inspi-
ration to Miss Bussard and her his
tory students.
The Lincoln Debating Society was
organized Friday, after school and
the following were elected officers
Chester Hartlett, vice
president-Agne s Laut, secretary
Gretchen Paff, treasurer-Elmer Lar
son. A feature of the debating so
ciety was that this year girls were
eligible for membership, who in for
mer years were excluded. Woman''
superiority in debate has at last re
ceived its recognition, and it has beer
considered that the tongue is wo
mans natural and effective weapon

The red and white aggregation
which departed for Stevens Poin

beating from the heavy normal team
, but they were unprepared for scor

On the whole, it was an unfairl

doubly outweighing the highs. L
n was a match of David against Goliath
: and this time Goliath won.
j.. Rain interfered in the playing durin
the first half of the game. The Il
n Gals kicked off to the Point, and tn
Point advanced the ball half wa
L down the field where the red an
white held them for one down. The
Eagleburger of the Normal receive
a pass and ran a touchdown. A
this happened in the first minute

after this the Normal kept piling L
touchdown after touchdown. JC
