HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

sesssssesssse .
Just a word of warning to the
business men of Eagle River. Ac-
cording to a conversation over
heard in Assembly the other day,
if the local high school basket
ball boys win the national tourna-
ment they are going to ask the
men of Eagle River to finance a
trip to Europe.
It was advertised as another
laughable preliminary, but even
Nature smiled for miles and miles
when she saw it; which is some
thing she hasn't done for several
days. The Fats and Leans sure
take the prize when it comes to
providing a side-splitting game.
A short meeting of the Senior
class was held Monday. The OBJ
ject of this meeting was not to
plan another "boxless social" as
was held last week but we hear
the word party being mentioned
softly among the serious ones.
A few points for the high school
stduent to remember:
l. Where you got your book in
the library; it is just as easy for
you to return it as the librarian
2. Where that chew of gum be-
longs; the proper place for it is
in the waste paper basket, not
on the bottom of your chair or
the floor.
8. Pay attention in class; the
teachers are not talking for their
health.
4. Cooperation is necessary be-
tween classes.
5. If you must waste time in
school, take your books home and
study. Try something unusual;
prepare all your lessons for one
day.
6. Neatness counts for a great
deal. This includes: your position
in the class room, the condition of
the room after you leave why
not leave your chairs in order,
and the appearance of your text
books. They are not receptacles
for notes and waste paper.
Z. You're responsible for your
work, not the instructor. You
can't expect good marks if you
neglect your work.
We've got a dandy building and
all we need is little cooperation
between students, teachers and
classes to keep it in AL condition.
Lets get together and do it of
our own accord instead of having
someone continually reminding us
of our duty.
The Tournament is ours. The
announcement was made Monday.
Because of the high train fare
the teams will have to be kept at
private homes. The splendid spir-
it with which the town people
have taken up this proposition is
certainly appreciated by everyone.
Every day in every way we are
getting smarter and smarter. The
following was overheard in a
Freshmen-English class.
Teacher: Good gracious, where
is your Grammar"
Funny Frosh: AT home with
my Gramper"
The following was found in the
Professors register; it goes to
show that things aren't what they
used to be. 1t appears that it was
written in Senior Typing Glass.
Dear Liz:
This is supposed to be speed
work-and it isl go like blazes
to get it done. Do you feel in
clined to do 5 pages of shorthand
for me, or get in my weeks typ
ing? If you do, please do so at
