HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Basket ball is with US again. Coach
Enders has had all four classes out for
practice, but has not yet picked the
team. Prospects for a snappy tenn
are good this year as V. H. S. has tire
material and all she needs is a gym
to develop players.
A race is on for selling tickets for
the lecture course. The Junior have
the lead with sales amounting to
Sl38.50, seniors $l25.75, sophomores
$50 so, and freshmen $IS.75.
The debate question has been re-
ceiyed and tryouts for the team will
be held in short time. The state
ment of the question is: Resolved /:
That the reduction of National arma-
ments to the status of adequate police
forces within period of ten years is
practicable.

A very fine program was rendered
in the high school auditorium last Fri
day morning. One of the most in
teresting features was a spelling con-
test in which each contestant repre-
scented his or her English section. Two
prizes were given. Bernhardt Lier-
moe won the contest and received q
silver pencil. A Speller was given to
the one who misspelled the first word.
TIE remainder of the program consist
ed of speeches, selections by the Sen
Tor Double Quartette and short Good
English play composed by ANGELA
Mead. Much credit is due the pupils
and teachers who assisted in the pre-
paration of the program.
In observation of Armistice Day
school was not in session last Friday
afternoon.
Because of the earyl appearance of
winter. the girls of the Outing Club
were forced to postpone the hike plan
ned for last Tuesday evening. 1t is
unlikely that any similar outings will
be held this fall
The High School students feel them
selves greatly indebted to the citizens
here for their loyal support of the
"gym campaign" Just concluded. Plans
are under way for gymnasium to be
erected in the near future. A share OF
the profits secured from the lecture
course will be appropriated for the
necessary gymnasium equipment. The
students have long felt the bitter need
for something of this kind and by the
prompt ticken disposal, have proved
themselves willing to cooperate with
citizens in securing this need
