HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOLS VS. WEATHER. Threatening prospects of unfavorable weather often dishearten the high spirits of enthusiastic High School people when they are about to play a game of ball with some of their High School opponents, but it was not so Saturday, October 9th. A jolly party composed of ten boys and seven girls left Prairie du Chien about 8:30 a. m. for Seneca, where they expected to play both base-ball and basket ball with the teams of that High School. The weather presented anything but an encouraging outlook, but with Prof. Gunderson among the boys, and Miss Green with the girls, it would have taken more than a dark cloud or shower to daunt the courage of that crowd. Between Prairie du Chien and Eastman the ride was a pleasant one. We took advantage of the fact that we were out of the city limits and practiced some of the High School yells and learned a new song. Whether or not we frightened the inhabitants of the woods, we do not know. Just before reaching Eastman the boys, who were in the bus just ahead of the girls, spied an apple orchard near the road, the story almost completes itself, in short, they supplied themselves bountifully and returned to their rig after “sharing” up with the girls. The boys, however, utilized the apple cores by practicing curves, etc., between the two rigs. Arriving at Eastman we gave our yells in “true blue” style. It was necessary to make a stop here and this was somewhat prolonged, owing to the fact that the Prof., not being accustomed to it, found it difficult to keep his feet out of six inches of clay mud thru which he found it necessary to wade in attending to a business transaction. Shortly after leaving Eastman it began to sprinkle a little bit, but that seemed to have little, if any effect on us. Good humor and jollity still reigned and finally we reached Seneca about 12:00 o’clock. Prof. Mundhenke and the Seneca students greeted us very cordially and very kindly arranged headquarters for the entire party. After dinner both boys and girls made ready for the Bose Bad aid Basket Ball games, respectively. It was decided that the boys play first and the game was called at 2:30. The score was kept up i:i a lively fashion by both sides for some time, then finally P. D. C. ran ahead two points. It was at this junction that it began to rain, but that made no difference to the boys, and the girls loyally withstood it to cheer them on to victory if possible. Don Keller did some brilliant pitching, making it possible for our boys to continue to gain and Joe Schweiger was practically the hero of the occasion. The diamond had becqme somewhat slippery and being clay soil, provided an excellent toboggan. Joe took note of the fact, struck hard, making first and second easily, but finding he must increase his speed, he reached third in a bound and coming at a velocity of about thirty miles an hour, literally slid over the plate and struck “home.” Andrew Gronert determined to wear stilts in another game if he had to play left field in the valley, but he was there just the same. The Seneca players were well chosen and had begun to “make good,” bringing the score nearer a tie, when the rain increased and the boys were compelled to quit, leaving the score, though unfinished, in P. D. C.’s favor. The girls, though somewhat disappointed in not being able to play their game, were pleased with the base ball game. Preparations were made for the return trip and at 4:00 p. m., amidst a glorious down-pour of rain, we departed for home. Twenty minutes was allowed for lunch at Eastman, during which time the boys procured a supply of cheese and crackers. Picture for your self this party of boys and girls each with a piece of cheese in one hand and a cracker in the other, dividing their attentions equally between the two, too hungry, too content to speak a word—and you have it correct. Inquiry proved that the girls and boys in the girls’ rig fared a triffe better than the boys in their rig, because the former had “lady fingers” as a last course, and the latter had none such. Between six o’clock and the time we arrived home, 9:30, the rain had ceased and the air was cool and refreshing. Songs were sung and short pieces spoken to pass the hours of the evening’s drive. Among the songs were solos by Don Keller and Joe Schwartz. Joe’s were Bohemian, and he denies it, but we think he sang them in that language to “scare the spooks away.” To prove that we had lost no one or that none of us were nodding, Prof, and
