THE RESERVE FUND. At the end of the last school year the Athletic Association faced a deficit in the treasury which there seemed to be no way of meeting. To avoid anything of that kind this year the Reserve Funa was started. In this Reserve Fund is placed five per cent of the gross receipts of all athletic games and every other entertainment given under the auspices of the High School or by any High Scho 1 organization. This Reserve Fund will not be drawn upon until the end of the year and then if any organization has a deficit, enough of the money will be given them to pay this off. The remainder, if there is any, will be divided among all the societies or will be left in the fund, to be used next year. This certainly seems to be a much better way of meeting any deficit that may come up than to try and make it up during the last week or two of school when everyone is busy preparing for examinations. CLEAN ATHLETICS. Mondovi, as a school, has always stood for clean athletics in every sense of the word and they still stick to the belief that they can win more games honestly than they could by tricky and dishonest methods. With the intention of promoting clean athletics in High Schools the W. I. A. A. was organized. The affairs are in charge of a board of control of which Supt. Callahan of Menasha is chairman. Mondovi early became a member of this Association and in all its athletics, which are carried on under the supervision of this board, it has gone by, not only the wordings of the ruling of the Association, but also the spirit in which they were given out. Some of the main rules of the Association are: 1. Players must be less than twenty-one years of age. 2. Must be bonafide High School students carrying full work. 3. Must have mark equal to passing mark of school. Mondovi is strictly adhering to these rules even tho it means the loss of one or more players who are nearly sure of making the team. We hope every school in the state is as careful as Mondovi about playing players who are ineligible. In the future, as in the past, let the motto of Mondovi be “CLEAN ATHLETICS. BLACK RIVER FALLS. During the first part of the school year Black River Falls suffered one of the greatest disasters known in this part of the country. The city treasury was in such a poor condition that it was thot the schools would have to be closed at Christmas. At the teachers’ convention at Milwaukee an appeal was made to the schools of the state to assist the Black River Falls schools. Mondovi, thru a benefit basketball game, sent $58 to the relief committee. Can’t every school do its best to help the schools of Black River? Try it anyway and we know Black River will appreciate your efforts.
