HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last Thursday evening the people
of Viroqua witnessed q rather fast
game of basket ball between our To-
cal high school team and the city
team. OF course we did not have any
intention of winning the game but the
boys held the city team down to a
score of 1926. The boys did not
play as hard as they might have play
ed for they were expecting to play
at the tournament held at Richland
Center the following day. But when
we consider who they were playing,
a score of 1926 was not so bad after
all. $50
A preliminary game was played be-
tween the High school second team
and a pick up team the second team
winning with score Of BILL From
the looks Of the showings that the
second team have been making, pros
meets for a good team next year are
bright.
The Westby High School team play
ed their return game here Monday

score of HIP. This again shows the
great need OF a gymnasium for the
High School. After the game High

The Booster Club met last Wednes-
day evening at 1880. Bernhard Lier.
moe and Richard Nixon. who had lust
returned from their trip TO Sparta,
gave very interesting talks on the
comparisons which they drew in re-
gard to the two high schools and how
our high school might best be i'm
proved. The two chief instances in
which Sparta is better situated than
we are seems to be in regard to Ath-
letics and debating societies. With
these two objects in mind for improve
ment, the club hopes soon to accom-
plish great deal.
A meeting of the annual staff was
held last Monday evening.
Literary meetings are being held
each Friday in the classes of Ameri-

stories and poems, readings and par.
liamentary drill help TO make the
meetings equally interesting and help
full. These meetings are held during
the regular class periods.
A delightful senior class party took
place in the commercial room Satur-
day evening. A well planned pro
gram of which mock wedding was

ed the time until the inevitable mo
ment arrived, when the members re-
luctantly departed for home The
Misses Cade, Kyle and Carlson chap
eroned the party and are. in a large
degree, responsible for the evening s
success. Especial recognition is, how
ever, due Miss Kyle. the Senior class
