THE CURTAIN RISES.

l.
The public schools opened Monday
and present indications point to q
record breaking attendance this year.
All of the teachers except Miss Stein,
are new, they come well recommended
and seem to be especially fitted for
the training of our young people.
Prof Grant Cook, who succeeds r.
J. Mcmahon as principal of the High
School, has long before demonstrated
his pedagogical ability here, having
been County Superintendent here for
several terms. Although in some
places it is unfortunately true that
1.-THE prophet is not without honou
save in his own country Eagle River
plumes itself on its capacity for ap-
preciating the worth of our own,
and those who reap laurels abroad
do not, fear they will get them frosted
at home: therefore we realize Prof.
Cooks leaving his position in the Mil
waukee Normal to return here is
source of congratulation to us. He is
a graduate of Milwaukee Normal and
the University of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Simon Treff of ManaWa, comes
to us from the principalship of the
Clinton, Ia. schools, and is a gradu-
ate of Oshkosh Normal, and Q. w.
student. In addition to his work
in mathematics and German, he is
equipped to teach manual training,
and from his own enyiable record as
an athlete we can hope for some good
results along those lines this year.
Miss Bertha Zepp, of Edgar, will
have charge of the English and Hist
DRY work in the High School. She isa
graduate OF Carroll and Lawrence.
Miss Lulu Nemacheck of Eagle
River is supervising principal Of the
grades, also teaching 7th and Sth. We
have here another good local teacher,
Miss Nemacheck having been on the
Honor Rolf, comprising those
whose standings ara highest, for two
years at Stevens Point Normal, OF
which she is a graduate.
Miss Mary Ann huber, of Alma, is
in charge of A 9Th and 9th grades.
and having been star player on the
Ladies Basket Ball Team at the La
Crosse Normal, which features ath-
letics, she will be Of assistance here
in that line.
Miss Laura Petersen, of Stockholm,
who has the room vacated by Miss
Stein, is also graduate Of La Crosse
Normal.
Miss Dorothy Dickinson Of Wabeno
who teaches the End and 3rd grades,
is really one of s'our girls, having
been born here. She is a fine basket
ball player, has specialized in folk
dancing and all the forms of drama
tic work featured by her Alma Mater,
Stevens Point Normal.
Miss Margaret Stein, who did en-
tirely satisfactory work in 18th and Il
5th grades last year, is now installed
in the first primary room, that being
her preference, having had special
preparation for this grade at MiiWau-
kee Normal.
This is all we have been able to tind
out about the new faculty, except
that the pupils are all enthusiastic
and already loyal to their instructors
and all signs point to q successful
year in the schools. If in addition TO
our undisputed gift of prophecy we
may be guided by the traditions OF
the past, the future wives OF at least
two Eagle River boys are now teach
ers here, but unfortunately, unless
luck changes, it is not the home girls
who will draw the prizes.
High school class elections took
place during the week with the fol
lowing results:
SENIORS.
