HIGH SCHOOL NOTES


gan, three-reel, vocational motion
picture story of genuine interest held
at the Wausau High school last Fri
day evening, under the auspices of the
Post Boy club. The picture was well
received here and many boys were in
attendance. Boys were accompanied
by parent or guardian. Three or four
hundred cards were given out to boys
of the city and they were presented
at the door.
At recent meeting of the Junior
High School boys club the following
were elected officers: Pres, Calvin
Clark; Vice Pres, Edward Bopf; Sec.
and Treas, Ralph Otto. The club
has been divided into three groups
and Karl Tunnicliffe, Charles Manson
and Donald Evans are the respective
| leaders. Freshmen and Sophomores,
| whether or not "Y" members, may
| become members of this club.
The Lyceum program was held on
| Thursday of the past week instead of
Friday, and was on RIP Van Winkle,''
written by Washington Irving. The fol-
lowing boys took part: George Rick,
Albert Halder, Leon Douville, Fred
Boyce, William Koenig, Harold Mathie,
julius Wilke, Herbert Buss and Elmer
| Guenther.
A rousing mass meeting was held on
Friday afternoon, which created
| great deal of enthusiasm for the foot
ball game with Oshkosh on Saturday.
Members of the Rotary club met at the
club house and with Cones band went
to the High school, and assisted the
students in a real live mass meeting.
| Speeches and yells were given. Judge
F. E. Bump talked on "Hot Air, Con-
corning Students" and A. H. thinner
man spoke on "More Hot Air" A. w.
Thompson, the football coach, and
some of the football players, also made
speeches, and it was a meeting full of
the real football spirit throughout
The game between Wausau and Osh-
kosh on Saturday was witnessed by
the largest crowd out this season. A
| number of Merrill and Amigo people
were also here for the game. The
game closed with score of 20 to II
in favor of Oshkosh. The local boys
| loeo
strated their ability to put up a good,
hard game, and they took the defeat
in the right way. Considering the diff
ference in size of the two cities, and
that the squad outweighed our boys,
had a good deal to do with the result
of the game. 1t was a hard fought
game, mixed with trouble. Donnelly,
right half back on the Oshkosh team,
having used profane language to an Of
fetal, was ordered off the field; and the
Oshkosh team and their coach refused
to continue the game unless Donne1Iy
was put back on the field. The foot
ball officials then announced the game
forfeited to Wausau. The Wausau boys
organized two teams of volunteers
and started an exhibition game, but
the Oshkosh squad changed their
minds about the forfeit and decided
to continue the game which ended with
the score stated above. The Wausau
fellows could have held Oshkosh to the
forfeit, but decided that was no way
to win the game.
Next Saturday our boys play at Mer
rill, and a large number of Wausau
football fans are going to that city
to witness an exciting game.
The beginners violin class was,
started last Wednesday evening at the
High school in Room E on the first
floor. So far there are only seven
people in this class. There ought to
be at least fifteen enrolled in this
class, and if that number cannot be
reached, there is possibility of dis
continuing it. In the larger cities
like Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati,
New York, etc, this same kind of work
has been carried on with wonderful
| success. If people really knew the
work that could be accomplished by
| joining a beginners class and study
ing this instrument and taking advan-
tage of the very moderate price OF
twenty-five cents lesson, there should
and would be larger number en-
rolled.
The Wiechmann Hardware COM
pany has donated fireless cooker to
the domestic science department of the
High school.
