HIGH school NOTES

The Booster Club held its regular
meeting last Wednesday evening.
Plans are in order for the making of a
constitution and for the election of
new members for next year. Consid-
ering the short time in which it has
been organized, the club has done a
great deal but the members hope to
accomplish even more next year.
Mrs Neprud has been absent from
her school duties the former part of
the week. We are sorry to learn that
she is confined to her home because of
illness.
The Domestic Science department
is displaying two new bulletin boards
which have been constructed by the
Manual Training students. These ar
ticles have been sorely needed for
some time and are therefore duly ap-
preciated.
Miss Binney has been absent from
school the first part of the week. She
is making a brief visit with home
folks at Poynette, Wis.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day Of this week, an art exhibition
will be held at the high school building
Miss Very has secured reproductions
of 200 pictures, many Of which are
masterpieces of some of the world S
most noted artists. The building will
be open to outsiders from 400 to 600
o'clock each afternoon and also on
Thursday evening. The admission is
only 15c
The Senior class held shot dog"
sale at the high school Thursday even
ing. The proceeds were approximate
ly SIS. The buns and weiners surely
were fine and we are wicked enough
to hope that the Seniors will soon feel
the need of money sufficiently to hold
another sale
Anna Dregne, senior, was absent
from her school duties last week but
has again returned to school
The declamatory contest which was
held at the high school last Thursday
evening was a very spirited contest.
Each speaker did so well that when
the last selection had been given no
one in the audience dared to predict
the outcome of the contest We feel
that the winners are fully represen-
tatiye of the schools best ability, as
a large number of girls participated
in the first preliminary tryout. The
girls who were awarded places are as
follows: Edith Hope Smith, "The
Little Dusiy Hero; Lucille Wig, "The
Littlest Rebelp; Lurana Lindemann,
Seventeen" The oratorical contest
which took place on Friday evening
was fully as successful. Ermon Kier,
who gave the selection, "America's
Declaration of Independence" received
first honors. Allen Seime's Grafton,
"Bolshevism in America" was awarded
second place. Floyd Vance's selection
"The Anti-Lynching Bill" was award
ed third place, missing second honors
by narrow margin of LIS The boys
tied for second place and percentages
were a last resort to determine the
close tie Both groups of contestants
showed much friendly rivalry, which
is, after all, the one important requi-
site for successful contest. Thanks
are due the high school chorus, the
Senior quartette and the Senior doub-
lie quartette who, under Miss Veazy's
instruction furnished splendid music
for both occasions
The members of the Alpha Literary
society greatly enjoyed their annual
banquet given at the Grill Tuesday
evening
The Physics and Chemistry classes
are just recovering from those severe
two hour mental tests given by our
science instructor. Mr.. r. P. Kruger.
A meeting of the Senior class was
held Tuesday noon to make prepara-
tions for candy sale to be held in the
near future. Also a meeting of the
Junior class was held Tuesday night.
