HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By d. H.

The girls basket ball team has dis
banded on account of being unable to
schedule games.
Some of the high school boys attend
ed the banquet and dance Monday night |
given by the citizens and Girls First
Aid of Grangeville, in honor of the re-
turn of Company +.
The members of the Boys Glee Club
conducted by Miss Brooks will sing a
| few selection at the Federated church
Sunday evening. They no doubt viii
display excellent talent as they have
practieed considerable on the selections.
Some Of the new pupils who nave
registered at the beginning of the End
semester were Dick Feaster, Neil Frs
kline, Roby Lovelace and Charles
Turner. The last three mentioned boys
have been serving with Company E
which has just recently returned from
the border.
A course is now being offered by Mr..
Wadsworth in practical "Public Speak
ing.' The class is to be composed
mainly of Seniors and one credit is to
be given for this work. The necessity
of public speaking calls attention to
the fact that the above proposed course
is very needful in high schools.
The University of Idaho Glee Club
is intending on making its second trip
up into this country next month some
time. 1t is a question now being dis
cussed by the high school as to whether
the guarantee they call for can be rails
ed 1t is not for certain whether the
high school will take the responsibility
of the guarantee they call for.
The Latin play being conducted by
Miss Brooks is progressing nicely. The
play is to be given as the next Baconian
Literary Program which is to be given
Friday, Feb. 9th. The program also
consists of other minor Latin speeches,
songs and dialogues. The program has
been practiced on much and it is GER
tain that it will be very entertaining
and successful.
| Mr.. Preisz, salesman of the new
Edison Victrolla visited the school last
I Thursday and demonstrated the new
, machine by playing several well liked
pieces. On some of the pieces he play

to the beauty of them. The school was
, lucky in hearing these high class pieces

, preciated them.
