ATIIMSTIC NOTES. We have gained no great victories in athletics this year, hut the little we have done shows us capable of fur ther development. The high school had never taken part in a track meet before this year, and only a few boys have been sufficiently interested to train. Nevertheless, four of the boys, Lewis, Randall. Fahrnkopf and Bishop went to the Monticello meet, and won third place. In this meet, the boys realized what they could do. They all made excellent showing although they lacked the training and endurance which would have helped them to win. Ribbons instead of medals were given as prizes. Our boys brought home eleven ribbons secured in the following events: Shot put, 3rd; Bole vault, 2nd; Discus, 1st; 100yd dash. 3rd: Running broad iump. 2nd; High u np. lied for first; 2jd Hurdles 3rd; Relay race, 1st.

There were sixteen schools entered here, and the competition was too great for our boys to win atfv points. However thev made a very good showing.

Starr and Matlies will probably be back in school to help in the weight events, and some of tin Freshmen promise to make good distance runners. Anyway, we will have a team that will not be satisfied with third place. Basketball is a game that most people think to be a girl's game, (iirlsdo play basketball, but use entirely different rules from those used by men. Last fall, we began to play basketball. We had a few games and were rounding into form when the weather forced us to give up our outdoor play. 14 we get a building suitable, we will probably arrange a schedule, and play some of the neighboring high schools this winter. iiilii school track tfv i Fahrnkopf.

'Phis may be due to tin fact that the bad reputation of football has cast a reflection upon all forms of athletics. Some people, over zealous for reforms, dislike to see any form of athletics. They think that the high school is no place to learn to run and jump. The principal reason why we should go to high school is to learn from books. That is not the only thing we should do. There are many excellent things about a high school that cannot be gotten from print. Athletics is one. We do athletic work, and from it we get enthusiasm, strength and pure enjoyment. All these things are good to have. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” The high school is for us; let us get all the good we can from it.
