raj grades in the building are most
cordially requested to keep that date
open. Further announcements Will

The first grade enrollm ent problem
supposedly settled by the election of

is again becoming trying. The to-
tai first grade enrolment is now
la, which is more than one-seventh
of the entire city enrolment Miss
Doucette and Miss Nystrom in the
south side building began the week
with forty pupils each.
At meeting of the athletic asso-

the season, Carl Volkman was elect
ed manager of the basketball squad,
and the work of arranging sche-
dule is now under way Mr. Wood
worth as coach, and with practical
ly veteran team, the basketball
prospects are unusually promising.
The boys have had only light work
out so far
A most enjoyable social event wes
given in the gymnasium last Friday
evening, the occasion being the an
nual reception given to the faculty
and student body by the members
of the sophomore class. The gym
nasium was very prettily decorated
in red and white. The early part
of the evening was spent in play
ing games in which everybody took
part. Following this part of the
program, refreshments were served.
Then followed an hour and hall
Of dancing to the music Of Lue.l's
orchestra. The clean up committee
on Saturday morning also comes in
for its share of praise.
Last Monday and Tuesday the old
er pupils in the three buildings were
given the experience Of casting
straw ballots On the presidential race
The vote was very close, Hughes
winning in some rooms and Wilson
in the others. The junior and senior
high schools conducted mock elec-
tfons the entire day. A place was
fitted out for each with enclosed
booths, sample ballots, election
clerks, registry lists, etc. Each stu
dent voted IN entire secrecy on ma
tional, state and county candidates
Intense interest was manifested in
the outcome. The ballots were
counted according to state laws. The
Hughes electors won the high school
vote by eighteen; the Wilson electors
carried the junior high school by
eight.
Miss Alma May Taylor of Lancas
ter, Wis, a reader who has appear
ed before the schools Of Wisconsin,
for the past several years, gave
one of her very pleasing entertain
ments in the gymnasium Thursday
afternoon at 3:45. Miss Taylor is
a lady of very pleasing presence and
her impersonation of the child in her
selections is especially strong. A
minimum charge of ten cents was
made. The net receipts We're $3.50
This was equally divided between
the victrola fund of the junior high
school and that of the grades.
