Notes. The enrollment cards show that there are six more boys than girls in High School. On the first day of school the teachers of the grades and of the High School were presented with a beautiful boquet of flowers by Mr. Lees. The silver cup won by the Sophomores in the inter-class basket ball tournament will soon be placed in the assembly room. A prize of two dollars was offered for the best cover design and of one dollar for the best name. Jennie Lamb was awarded both prizes. The desk and chair given the High School by tbe class of ’ll is much appreciated and is certainly an ornament to the school room. The band under the leadership of Mr. Cundy is making rapid progress and expect to be in fine shape for Fair week. A number of track men have been running the last couple of weeks with the intention of developing their muscles, wind and endurance for Basket Ball. A debating club has been organized among the boys in High School. The following officers have been elected: John Voll, president; Spencer Hillman, vice president; Paul Walker, secretary; Thomas Lee, treasurer. A Literary and Dramatic Club has also been organized by the girls of the school. The following officers were elected: Florence Jacobi, pres- ident; Lucy Dillon, vice president; Luella Halverson,secretary and treasurer: Marie Ward, guard. A German Society has been formed composed of third and fourth year German students. The first meeting will be held October K. The following are the officers: Robert Kuenzli, president; Milford Langehough, vice president; Erwin Fisher, secretary; Florence Jacobi, treasurer; Milo Whipple, guard. The membership of the Athletic Association is increasing rapidly. It is hoped that all the students will join this year. Mr. Chas. White spoke to the High School Friday morning, September, 22. His talk was very interesting and he gave the high school students some very good advice which we hope will greatly benefit them. We also wish to thank him for his generous donation to the Athletic Association. Did you see our course of study on page 3? If not, look it over. Next month a list of the High School readings will be published. CLASS SPIRIT. How can we expect a school to excel in any line of athletics without “School Spirit?” This is the quality that sends athletic teams to success. It is the same as a large battleship in mid ocean without coal. It has the material but not the power: so it is with our teams. We have the material but cannot hope to excel in athletics without a big shoulder behind us pushing every moment with determination to win. That shoulder is “School Spirit.” I ask you to carefully weigh this important question and it is you who turn up your noses that I am writing this for. Do something to help this “Spirit” along. Join the Athletic Association, get out for the teams talk among the fellows and by all means put your shoulder to the wheel and push this ‘Spirit” along. We want competition in all lines of athletics and we cannot carry on these without co operation. The year is jus beginning and now is the proper time to get started. Take a deeper interest and show the other schools the stuff Mondovi is made of and what she can do. It’s up to you, each one, whether we have successful teams or not. Get busy fellows, think this over, and by all means act. An Interested Member. If youv’e tried and have not won, Never stop for crying; All that’s great and good is done .1 ust by patient trying.—Ex. Each day the world is born anew For him who takes it rightly.—Ex. 2

English Salutatory. The issuing of a high school monthly is something new in this school. The Staff, members of the High School, being only human are apt to make mistakes and you must expect nothing else. If they were perfect they would be doing something far different from editing a High School Magazine. But, uul ke some people they are willing to be corrected and any criticisms, corrections or suggestions will be cheerfully received. The High School Magazine was not gotten up to bring a large amount of money into the treasury and it will even be hard work to play even. Therefore we need your support and co-operation in every way. It is an acknowledged fact that a High School Magazine is a benefit to the school. In the first place it gives the students excellent practice in composition such as they cannot get elsewhere. Second, it puts onr school on a par with other High Schools thruout the state. Thru our exchanges we know what other schools are doing and they learn what we are doing. The Magazines we exchange with will be ou the reading table at all times, thus giving the students a chance to learn much of the other schools, their ways of doing things and what they are accomplishing. We ask you one and all for your earnest support in this new endeavor and we hope the Magazine may be better and more interesting each succeeding month. E. F. T2. Board of Education. H. B.
