only one more week remains before

tlon, Resolved, That the regular

which will debate Marshfield at home
is composed of Freeman Otto, Chester

the negative team which will debate
Grand Rapids high in their city, is
composed of John Manson, Jr., Will
ard Babcock and Eugene Thayer, Jr.
Coach Goodrich will accompany the
negatives to Grand Rapids while Mr..
Maynard will remain at home with
the affirmative.
The basketball team played last
week at Grand Rapids. The floor up
on which they played in that city
was comparatively small ana the boys
did not have as much chance as they
usually Go to use their passes and
their team work. This is always one
OF the disadvantages of practising on
az large floor, for whenever a team
leaves town they usually are obliged
to play on one of these small gym
nasium floors. The first half started
out very favcfably for the locals,
Riebe securing free throw at the
very stare. Several baskets followed
but Wausau was unable to get lead
at any time during this half, the score
being IL to s at the end. The second
half was fast but the Rapids made
the majority of the baskets, the final
score being IL to "a in the Rapids
favor. The lineup was as usual
Rlebe and Smith forwards, Pond GEN.
ter, Doonan and Hartlett guards.
There is still good chance of the
local five getting to the state tourna-
ments. The team has not given up
hope even though they have lost two
games, one to Green Bay and the
other to the Rapids Marshfield beat
the Rapids short time ago and as
Wausau won from Marshfield we have
as good chance as Grand Rapids.
Next Friday evening Eau Claire high
school team will play the Wausau FIVE
in the Y gymnasium. "Boost'' your
team, turn out, the boys need your
encouragement.
G. G. Parlin, formerly principal of
the local high school, was in the city
during last Saturday. He visited the
school Saturday morning and was a
guest at the senior party on the same
evening, giving a short address at
that time.
The senior class party was given
last Friday evening in the high school
gymnasium. The decorations were
simple but very effective and pretty,
being hearts strung around the gym
nasium. A program was carried out
before the dancing. Several members
OF the orchestra played very pretty
selection and they were followed by a
piano solo by Martin Schaefer. Miss
May entertained with an exceptional
ly fine vocal solo. Miss Lottie Hogan
rendered defamation AMI she was
followed by John Manson who read
the list of senior bequeathments writ
ten by Miss Elyira Balassa. The list
was most amusing and kept those
present in a continual roar. She
made bequeathments for practically all
the seniors. Clement Olson acted as
chairman for the program. Follow
ing this games were played Refresh
ments were served of ice cream and
cakes. Dancing was enjoyed during
the latter part of the evening. Every
one agreed that this had been one of
the best If not the best party that
this especial class has had during it's
high school career. There was not
