There are few students who have
been in school for four years but
do not have enough credit to grad
uate, if any parents find that the
name of their child is not in the
above list even though they thought
that he would graduate they should
see Principle N. II. Mewaldt about
it at once.
If the present plans are adhered
to graduation will probably be May
&c. The school authorities are max
ing every effort to make this the
big event of the year. Friends of the
school should keep it in mind and
plan to attend.
An examination of the grades at
the high school has brought out
the following interesting facts;
There are three students who failed in
three subjects each, ten students in
two subjects each and twenty stu
dents who failed in one subject each
All the rest of the students passed in
all of their work. This shows that
the large majority are doing good
work in the high school.

Co. "A Notes

Semi-annual muster was held in the
Armory last Monday evening. After
the muster a number of the men en-
gagged in indoor target practice with
the % calibregallery rifles which
have been provided for that purpose.
Co. CA is entitled to enter team in
the State Indoor Rifle Meet to be held
the latter part of April or the first of
May and try-outs for the team will be
held this week and next.
Another recruit was added to the

paen to join the company.
This Thursday evening The losers
in the recruiting campaign are enter
tanning the winners with dance and
supper in the Armory. This is pri-
vate party for members of the COM
pany and their guests only.
Commencing some time the latter
part of April, probably on the 23rd or
Goth, it is intended to hold regular
Saturday night dances in the Armory
for the rest of the summer. There is
always a goodly crowd in River Falls
on Saturday nights and after they
have completed their Saturday night
shopping folks like to have place to
go for entertainment for few hours.
1t is planned to give them every Sat-
urday night. They should prove a
drawing card for River Falls as well
as source of revenue for the Com
pany. Dancing will commence at 8

Co. "a" basketball team played the
Chippewa Falls Co. team at Chippe-
wa Falls Tuesday evening.
If any public spirited citizen has
an old bookcase which he would be
willing to donate to the boys, they
would appreciate it very much. The
boys would like very much to have a
library in their club rooms, but feel
that they need case in which to put
their books before they can expect to
have much of library.

Highway Construction Program
The years highway construction
program is about inaugurated. 1t is
predicted that there will be relative
~ less concrete road construction.
but a more general Improvement in
roads. The policy instituted by Chief
Engineer Hirst of the Highway Com
mission to "serve the traffic" is to be
carried out. When a mile of concrete
road is built in Wisconsin in 1921 it
will cost $4,000 more than it did in
1914 on account of the increase in
freight rates alone.
