HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Observation-Disclosures,

The game scheduled with Mar
ion for last Friday was called off
because of Dame Natures coquet-
fish ways-but such is life in the
far north. Next Friday the Min
ocqua cagers will be over for a
skirmish. The Fats and the Leans
will also do their er-um- best
to attract the attention of the
onlookers. Oh yes, before we for
get, the Senior Glass will have a
Box Social after the game Friday.
The following Literary program
will be given on George Washing
tons birthday:
Address on Washington-Presi-
dent, Harry We'll.
Violin William Ketz.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
James Shesely.
Piano solo-Debora Everett.
Dance Geraldine Lake.
Locals-Edith and Ethel Walsh.
Song School.
Yes we have no more parties to
report. The Glass of "A were the
guests of honor at theatre party
given by themselves, the same
acting as host and hostess. After
gazing. at the picture for a full
hour and half the dignified per-
| sons betook themselves to the
home Of Miss Irene Rantz where
they enjoyed a delightful supper.
This was the last of the series of
Betsy Ross Parties" which have
been so popular among the mem
bers of the Senior class during the
last week.
A variety of speeches we're de-
livered in English " class Mon
day. They ranged from the i'm
mortal speech of Patrick Henry
down to those unique lines "In
Flanders Fields where cannons
bloom" which were so ably de-
| llvered by Friend Pussy. n
Another topic for everlasting
controversy whose flag is to ffut-
ter over the ruins of what was
once a worthy friendship between
the Junior and Senior classes. The
Seniors, flying their Gold and
White, refuse to bow their heads
in submission to Junior requests
and the Juniors cannot under
stand why. Some day enlightment
will come to them-theyll be
Seniors next year.
Another flag appeared on the
horizon Monday morning, but this
one happens to be a school flag

been made in regard to the flag
and to those who made the re.
marks, we say Remember the

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 31.-Although
unable to read or write, Joe Jackson,
sueing the Chicago American League
Club for back pay which he claims
is due him, has quick-witted mind
and calmly answered all questions put
to him during a rapid-fire cross-ex-
animation in Circuit Court here
Wednesday afternoon by attorneys
for the Chicago club.
Attorney George 3. Hudnell ques-
toned Jackson during the entire aft
ernoon. Jackson told many things
and whenever questioned as to the
authenticity of his answer, he stuck
to it and was never confused.
Jackson however. was a bit hay
over his home run. the only one of the
1919 scandal series. In direct ex-
animation he had testified he hit the
homer with two men on base. At
torneys for the defense. however
brought forth the official record book
which showed the home run was hit
in the third inning of the eighth
game and that there was no one
on base.
1t was shown that in the eighth
inning Of this game, Jackson hit
two-bagger, scoring Collins and
Weaver.
Jackson admitted that Lefty" VII
Kams slipped him an envelope con.
tanning $1,000, but insisted this in
cident took place after the Worlds
Series Of 1919.
