Girls Meeting

There were only about 55 girls
at the meeting Thursday afternoon.
We feel very much at home with Mrs.
Rayburn and are always happy to
have her with us. The message
Thursday was regarding our excuses
for not following Jesus Christ. Our
interests are conferred on other things
certainly not on more practical things
certainly not on more practical
things for christianity" said Mrs.
Rayburn, sis the most practical thing
in the world" We feel sure that
most girls and teachers can come out
to the meetings next week for all the
examinations will be over.

ces, be made up and handed in for
grading last week, the close of the
six weeks. This made extraordinary
hard work for some. Some were so
unfortunate as to have back work,
but we were all glad to get it made
up and start in the next Monday
square with the world.

High School Night

The student body at the taber-
nacle was not as large Thursday as
on the previous high school night.
The excuse perhaps was the prepare
ton for the six weeks tests and other
interests. The meeting was turned
over to Orlo Rolo the yell master
after a few congregational songs.
The high schoolers made enough
noise considering the number pres
emit. Mart Baker sang solo, "Face
to Face" accompanied by Miss Bruce
at the piano.

The Aim for Track Work

Never before in the history of Lib
eral high school has there been a
definite aim set for the boys to work
on. But this year the coach has made
list of records that have to be brok-
en- before we take man to Cimarron
to the big meet. Up to this year ii
has been that if a man beats every
thing in this school he is entitled to
go to any track meet whether he has
any chance to win or not. The rec
ords to be broken are as follows:
50-Yard Dash-6 1-5 sec.
1OO-Yard Dash-1O 1-5 sec.
220-Pard Dash-23 2-5 sec.
440-Yard Dash-54 sec.
Half-mile RUM min. 5 sec.
1-Mile Rum min. 55 sec.
Mile Relay -Four laps min. As
sec.
Hurdles-26 sec.
Shot Put-42 feet.
Discuss-120 feet.
Javelin-155 feet.
High Jumps #. in.
Broad Jump-20 #. 6 in.
Pole Vault-10 #.
You can see what the track team
will have to do this year. 1t is be-
lieved that most Of the above records
can be broken and if they can Liber-
al High School will have one Of the
best track teams in the state of Kan
sas. All of the boys are in school ex-
.cept one that was here last year and
there are two more to take his place.

The First Period

Did you ever stop to think how
many pupils are receiving instruction
each period in the day? We take the
first period from $3.50 to $50 and
meet with the classes meeting them.
Modern history has been quite inter-
esting. The students have been
studying about how Germany built up
such a strong empire. The students
can understand why Germany is so
hard to whip in the present war.
Miss Weedman has live boys and girls
who make the history study worth
while.
Mr.. Rindom is meeting with the
first section of Physics. On certain
days experiments are performed.
Other times text work is taken up.
There are Seniors who are finding
out practical things about science.
Across the hall Miss Meyer is meet
ing Is Algebra II people.
Next door Miss Carr has class Of
% Ancient History students. This
is a rather large number to have in
class but we know there is much in
terest in the class.
In the agriculture room Miss Alsop
has a class of 16 boys. There are
surmises as to their liking the subject.
Most of them do and boys must take
Agriculture. In the Domestic Sci
ence laboratory Miss Ester is in
structing 10 girls in the art of sew
ing and cooking. AS in the other sci
ences part of the periods are given to
lectures and text book work while
others are spent in cooking and sew
ing.

There are two classes that have
only one masculine members. Har-
old Bragg is the only boy in the
Normal Training department. We
congratulate him on his courage. Mr..
Wells is the only boy in Latin II

be no boys in domestic science. Per-
haps if the course were open to them
we would discover many good cooks

Prayer meeting for the girls was
held in the domestic science room
Monday at one o'clock. Miss Ester
read from the chapter of James on
prayer. Then each girl responded
with short prayer. These meetings
are helpful to the girls and one will
probably be held this week each day.
Monday afternoon the fire bell
came as a startling warning and the
building was vacated in shorter time
than ever before. No one was ex-
pecting the fire bell and the signal
was thought to be real fire signal.
Miss Henry has Latin ii the first
period. This is the second half of

sophomores. The work proves to be
very much alive. The Latin is termed
dead language.

is planned to have a boys prayer cir

interested in the meeting and their
fellows. Mr.. Wickland invited the

The electric bell of our high school
has not been in use for several
months. We think it would be a
good suggestion, since the physics
classes are studying electricity, they
could apply what they learn on our
own study hall bell. 1t would be
quite convenient to have the bells
in working order again because it is
rather difficult for classes in the
basement to hear the hand bell that is
being used at the present time. Mr..
Rindom has been testing the batter
les so it is quite likely that new bat
teries will be procured to replace the
old ones and once again the sound of
the electric bells will be heard in
the corridors and class rooms.

Pittsburgh Athletes
Rally to Uncle Sam

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 16.-Statistics
compiled in the athletic offices of the
University of Pittsburgh show that
between 1875 and $50 men who have
won their varsity athletic insignia are
row in the service of the nation.
Among these are some Of the most
famous football, baseball, basketball
and track athletes who ever played on
Panther teams. Many Of them are al
ready in France and quite a few have
their commissions.
twenty-five of the twenty-nine mem
bers Of the 1915 football teams are in
some branch of the service. Baseball
has contributed nine of twelve men,
seven of eight. Basketball provided
the entire team that performed last
year and tennis three of five players

Kane Selected
Baseball
For Maroons

Fordham Universitys new baseball
coach is William E. Kane, a member
of the '05 class. The selection was
made yesterday afternoon. Kane is a
former Maroon star, having played on
the Fordham varsity for four years,
from 1902 to 1905. He also coached the
Bronxmen in 1907, and turned out a
combination that was nearly as good
as the team that won the collegiate
championship of the East IN 1909
Jack Coffey, for while with the
Boston Nationals, and later on with
Denver; Chris Egan and Chris Mahoney
were some of the stars on this team.
Kane is popular with the older Ma
room athletic advisers, who advocated
his selection. Like his predecessor
Frank Gargan, he was drilled under
the tutelage of Frank Smith. the old
Princeton player, who was coach of the
baseball and football teams a decade
ago, and who has acted in an advisory
capacity in late years.
jim Robertson, classmate of Kane's,
COACHED the IA nine. The appointment
Of Kane, who is civil engineer in this
city. is in accordance with the gradu-
ate policy that has generally been fol-
lowed for the last few years. The new
coach will labor under the handicap
that confronts most collegiate coaches
this season. Besides being bereft of
veteran material, he will have to do
without the services of several "prep"
stars who would normally be in the
freshman class, but who are now with
their collegiate brothers in the ambu-
lance corps.
Before Kane had been appointed
coach, the first call for baseball candi-
dates had been posted. The aspirants
for positions on the Maroon nine will
report in the gymnasium tomorrow af-
ternoon at 3 p. M. where they will
meet the new coach. The battery can
didates will probably receive the most
attention for the next two weeks.
Daily practice in the gymnasium will
be the order until milder weather per-
mits outdoor work. In response to the
plea of Joseph Kinsley, the manager, a
fair squad is expected to report, and a
merry battle is predicted for the posi-
tions.

Princeton to Put
Nine in Field

PRINCETON, N. j., Feb. 16.-Prince-
ton is to resume varsity baseball this
spring, it was announced to-day, fol-
lowing a meeting of the baseball men.
A schedule, which will not include the
extensive trips of former years and
will not interfere with military train
ing, now is being arranged. II seems
probable that the Princeton-Yale game,
big commencement feature, will be
held
Coach Clark is now in France en-
gagged in Y. NJ. c. A. work, and Fred
Dawson, former Tiger star athlete,
will do the coaching.
Wall-scaling, throwing the hand gre
nades and bombs, bayonet fighting,
boxing and other exercises of a mill
tary nature are being introduced into
Princeton's sports programme this year
and are arousing much enthusiasm and
rivalry among the undergraduates as
the old forms Of athletic activity.

Virginia Optimistic
Over Baseball I Team

Despite the fact that practically
baseball team is in the service of Uncia
Sam. the college varsity will be we'll
represented on the diamond next
spring. Captain Allen Thurman, fcss
baseman; Martin. Darlington and Nc
Call, pitchers; Morton, second base
man; Charlie White, third baseman;
Rcthwelf, centre fielder, are in the SER
vice. This years team will be built
around Walter Rixey, pitcher; Prich-
ard. shortstop; Mahoon and Moran,
outfelders, and Gwathmey, who alter.
is a brother of Eppa RiXey, of the
Philies.
Virginia could have used last years
freshman lineup in its entirety, but
many OF its stars failed to return in
the fall, having entered some branch
OF war service. Among these is Ristlne,
shortstop. who was expected to prove
q sensation of the 1913 season in the
college world.
Last years varsity, led by Alien
Thurman, of Washington, had made a
favorable debut when the faculty
stepped in and cut short the schedule.
Amherst and Lehigh had been defeaved i
ard the team had won from the Newark
team, of the international League,
which worked out at Lambeth Field last
spring.
Coach Lannigan's task will be to
find successors to such twrlers as
Martin, Darlington and Mccall. Taylor
is the only surviving pitcher of the
freshman staff. Groseclose, a scrub
pitcher on the varsity, is looked upon
to show improvement, and Lannigan
has decided to give Moran try-out IN
the box. Fay, of the first-year team,
will play first base, and Voolfolk will
be at third. Mount will add strength
to the backstop squad, and Hawse is
the likely candidate for second base.
The outtield candidates are Pettway,
