High School

Maurice Minnick won the first prize
of three dollars for the best poster in
connection with the Short Course and
Corn show which will be held at the
Coliseum Feb. 20 and 81. The poster
was one of many which were made by
several high school art students for
the purpose of advertising the corn
show
Daniel VanFoorhis was the winner
of second prize in the contest.
Enthusiasm among the students at
the high school seems to point toward
a baseball team this spring Although
the game has never been a success in
the local high school, it is thought
that the fellows will take an active in
terest in the project and will probably
make the thing go.
Try-outs for the debating team were
held in the high school auditorium
recently and the following debaters
were chosen for the team: William
Rooney, Allan Campbell, Wesler Scull,
Theodore Henderson, Wendell Stanley
and Benjamin ALL The candidates
will be under Miss Doran for training
