Miss Musgrove's room had the best

the junior high school students Oh
Wednesday morning.

sixth grades, whose records in de-
pertinent are creditable during the

The high school girls basketball
teal will open its season tonight
with game against the girls team

city girls team will also play game
against the city girls team from

Mrs. J. D. Shumway, who has been
| assisting in the first, third and fourth
grades in the south side building the
past several months has resigned on
account of i'll health. No action has
been taken by the board of education
to secure successor.
The high school Basketball team
left this afternoon for Rhinelander
where the boys play one of the hard
games of their schedule tonight.
While Rhinelander is not in our sec
ton and the result Of the game will
have no championship bearing, the
outcome will be awaited with interest.
The eighth grades enjoyed a trip
through the Ladysmith Bottling
Works the past week. Every cour-
tesy in the way of detailed eXplana-
ton Of the plant was shown by the
management. Similar trips are be-
ing planned to the other industries
in the city. The tour furnished eX-
cellent material for English theme
work.
The growth in the popular demand
tor vocational instruction in the high
schools Of Wisconsin the past few
years has been very rapid. The do
mestic science course is the most
popular in the state, there being 1874
high schools offering such instruc-
ton. The commercial course ranks
second and is offered in 1928 high
schools. Manual training in 118
schools and agriculture in 95 schools
are third and fourth On the list.
Next Friday night, February 8, the
biggest basketball attraction Of the
season will be staged in the gymnas-
lum. Rice Lake the possible stumb-
ling block in the way of our cham
pionship aspirations, will be here and
a lively time may be expected. On
January 10, our boys were beaten at
Rice Lake by the close score of 28-
% after leading for three quarters of
the game. Every local player is now
determined to at least reverse this
score. Should our players win, we
then can still be counted in the run
ming for the championship Of this
section. The boys need and deserve
the enthusiastic spirit and loyal sup
port Of the Ladysmith fans. COME,
