. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By SYDNEY 8. D. Kaye)

the vacation season closed. Lessons
are harder, or at least seem to be.
Teachers have their sunny smile'
again, which is a great pleasure to the
students, for they only have these
smiles Just before and just after vaca-
ton.
Tuesday: Teachers have begun to
lose their "sunny smiles' and are be-
ginning to don their every day dispo-
sitions.
Karel Rickerson, who attends Carle-
ton college, and who graduated from
Little Falls high last year, gave very
interesting talk Friday morning be-
fore vacation. He evidently has al
ready had much experience as a
"Freshie at college.
William Trygstad, who attends Ham
line, was visitor at the high school
Monday also. Karel says that Garlic
ton is "the' college, William is sure
that Hamline is ''the'' college, ana a
communication has been received from
August Edling, who attends Nebraska
Wesleyan University, in which he stat
ed that N. w. U. could not be beaten.
We cannot say which one of these boys
is the most truthful or which is the
best Judge of colleges, but we can say
that they are Little Falls boosters
and how could we expect anything diff
ferent from them than to say that y
respective colleges are the best of their
kind. When choosing a college to at
tend, therefore, my suggestion would
be to close your eyes and draw.
The high school enrolment now near
ly reaches the 800 mark, the highest
enrolment that it has eyer had.
The Freshman class is the largest,
having al students in that class, 80
of which are girls and 81 boys. The
Sophomore class comes next with an
enrolment Of 20, having "a boys and
46 girls, the Juniors with 33 girls and
in all %. Seven Of these are boys and
Is girls in the regular senior class and
eight in the Senior normal.
Those who graduated last year and
who have enrolled in a post graduate
course are Nora Berg, normal; Lois
Daniels, commercial; Clara Nylen and
Marie Randall, normal.
The short course enrolment is not
being as we'll represented this year as
it was last year. There are only seven
students now enrolled in that course.
The work has been very interesting so
far and never before have the short
course advantages been so great in the
high school, as they are at present.
Those who wish to enroll still can and
are urged to do so. Much work is to
be done before the course ends, which
promises not only to be interesting,
but also of much value to the farmer
who is anxious to go ahead and do
things that his neighbors are not do
ing, for those who want to be pro-
gressive, modern day farmers and who
want to do efficient work in a more
economical way.
The boys began practice again Mon
day evening, after having vacation
of two weeks. They are very anxious
to make a good showing this year and
so are putting in some hard practice.
The boys have been told that Sank Cen
ire which plays here Friday night has
improved very much over the last
years work and being the same; team
are accustomed to working together.
Our boys have practically the same fell
lows back this year and plan on show
ing some very good work. Sank Centre
was good last year and one Of the most
interesting games Of last year was
played with them, the score being al
most a tie, but turning to the Little
Falls boys for the biggest end. Ev-
eryone is earnestly urged to come out
to see the best and most interesting
game of the year in the high school
gymnasium.
Mr.. Dobbyn has been unable 10 at
