HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

four reels az the High school auditori-
UNI. These pictures are of a series,
loaned to the United States by the
Allies, and the High school is fortu-
nate in securing them through the
University of Wisconsin.
Report cards were given out today
on the first six weeks work.
A convention of Marathon county
school boards and rural school teach
ers was held at the High school audi
forum Saturday. S. B. Tobey gave
the address of welcome.
Miss Edna Chellis and Miss Eloise
Empey, former High school graduates,
were visitors the past week.
There will be no lyceum program
this coming. Friday afternoon.
Walter Giese visited the High school
the past week and gave a reading
from Kipling's works before one of
the English classes.
Each student of the English depart
ment at the High school is required
to do a certain amount of home read
ing, including fiction and non-fiction.
There are many fascinating books in
the High school library and also at
the public library. 1t is noticeable
that the students reading the nom
fiction books are after books pertain
ing to the present war. In many cases
duplicates of certain books at both
libraries could be used to good ad-
vantage.
The members of the annual staff
have signed contract with the jain
& Ollier company of Chicago, for the
engraving of the High school book.
The athletic council, which has re-
Gently been organized at the High
school, with five representatives from
each class, is taking an active part
in promoting athletic interest in the
school, For the foot ball game played
between Wausau and Amigo here last
Saturday, number of attractive pos
tiers and signs were gotten out and
distributed all over the city by this
council. The big sign across Third
street was made by Roger Wilter
ding. Morton Schaeffer is chairman
of the athletic council.
The four graded school buildings in
the city having gymnasiums are oc-
cupied five nights a week by the
Working Boys clubs. The boys enjoy
the games of basketball, indoor base
ball and volley ball.
| c., S. Snyder, who is a teacher of
History at the High school, is TAX
ing up the study of Liberty bonds
with his classes. The nature of the
bonds, arguments for buying the
bonds, etc, are being taken up. Mr.
Snyder has asked his class to write
a page of arguments on the Liberty
bonds. A student in his class asked
this question recently, as a Liberty
bond a safe investment? This is one
reason why Mr.. Snyder has taken up
the study of this subject in his His
tory classes, so that the students will
know all about the bonds.
A silver medal is to be given to the
student bringing in the largest num-
Der of subscriptions to the second Lib
erty Loan bond, also the same prize
will be awarded to a boy scout accom-
plishing the same.
Last Friday the girls of the Wau-
sau High school celebrated "Pig-tail"
day. The young misses had done their
hair in a style becoming to girls of
this age adorned with all shades of
beautiful ribbon. AS yet, we have
not heard whether this is to be an an
nual event of the femininity of the
High school or whether it is to be OBJ
served oftener.
| The High school girls are doing a
great deal of Red Cross work. Many

reason why boy cannot knit as we'll
