HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Mrs. n P. Vennema of Menominee,
Mich, told of what a boys club did,
of which she is the head, speaking
at the high school last week. The
club started with but fifteen members
and that within five years the club had
enrolled five hundred and twelve
members. The club now owns its
own building which shows great i'm
provement over the small school
rooms of the first year, the club has
increased so that today they have
building equipped with a gymnasium
and everything that goes with it. The
club also runs radio station which
is known as the best amateur radio
station of its kind in the country. The
members pay no dues but sign
pledge each year which goes for the
making of better citizenship. This
organization takes the place of the Y.

Fridays Mass Meeting
The enthusiastic mass meeting held
last Friday at the high school, for the
Merrill-Wausau game to be played
Saturday. showed signs of big vic
tory over the old rivals, Merrill The
first thing on the program was the
burial service for Mr. Merrill. Ivan
Levenhagen acted as the minister and
conducted the service over the dead
corpse lying in the coffin. Those who
took part as pall-bearers are as fol-
lows: Clair Held, Melvin Peterson
Ernest Ziebell, Arno Behrendt, Velar-
ian Wiesner, and Carl Giesler The
rest of the athletic council acted as
the mOurnerS. After old Merrill had
been past ON to the future a few
of the second team members gave
their ideas as to the coming game,
among whom were: Walter Reinke,
Rex Short, Hanson and Alton. These
talks were followed by speakers of the
first team, namely: Capt. Liljequist,
Behrendt, Ziebell, Wiesner, Mathie,
Alton, Nieman, Koperski, Bopf, and
Mckinley. Harry Sisson, as high
ticket seller, had word to say also.
Miss Owen, Mr.. Maxwell, Mr.. Tobey
and Mr.. Lean also were given the
chance to say a word in regard to Sat
urday's game. 1t was announced at
this meeting that a snake dance was
to be held at 1880 on Third street,
meeting in front of the "Y,' which
proved to be a great success and en-
couragement.
Merrill VS.. Wausau
Saturday, the twenty-third, was a
most perfect foot ball day, the kind
of a day that was suitable for the
players and that kind of a day that
drew crowd. AS far as the drawing
a crowd was concerned, it certainly
worked out that way, about 1 200 peo-
pie witnessed the games, 200 of which
represented Merrill
The game between the Merrill sec
onds and the Wausau seconds started
at 1870. On account of inexperience
and the marked disperity in weight of
the Merrill team, the game was made
easy for the Wausau seconds. The
game resulted in a final score of So
to 6 in favor of the Wausau seconds.
The first team game was called al
$50. 1t was the good team work
OF the team as whole that enabled
the home team to win the match. IT.
was snappy and brilliant game and
was one OF the best games to watch
that we have seen in Wausau for
many years. ZiebellS passing showed
up exceptionally we'll, making three
remarkable passes which were very
cleverly handled. STANCES kicking
was also very spectacular, making
each one OF his kicks go off in perfect
condition and high and long The
team as a whole worked together
more and for that reason the game
ended in Wausau's favor with a final
score of 27 to 0.
We regret to have to report that
during the last quarter our captain
Frank Liljequist, had the misfortune
to sprain his ankle, which will put
him out of play for a couple of weeks.
The first team game for next Satur-
day is scheduled for Stevens Point at
the Point. But a game has been ar
ranged for on the home grounds. The
Wausau seconds will face the Mosinee
first team at Recreation Park this
coming Saturday.
