High School Notes.

County Superintendent Lamson visited recitations in the high school Thursday morning. Our boys’ basketball team will play at St. Joseph’s college Wednesday, and at Wheatfleld Friday evening. Russell VanArsdel entered our freshman class Wednesday, having transferred here from the Monon high school.

Please do not forget the basketball game with Wheatfleld high school, at Warner’s hall, at 8:00 o’clock Saturday evening. Semester dues in the athletic association are due again and it is hoped that enough may be collected to purchase a new basketball, monograms for the football team, with a neat balance for current expenses. Booth Lowry, the lecturer, talked to the assembled high school last Friday morning. After telling a few amusing anecdotes, he briefly but graphically pictured and analyzed the careers of some of his former schoolmates. A cast is being selected to present, about February 22nd, the charming two-act comedy, “Mr. Bob.” This play has proved a delightful success in a number of colleges and high schools. The proceeds will be devoted to paying the athletic deficit Helen Meader, Cope Hanley, Lee Adams, Don Beam, Ora King, Edna Babcock and Joe Reeve have all returned to school after several days absence on account of sickness. Richard Shirer, Gertrude Taylor and Edward Parkison are still on the hospital list.

The High School Literary Club held its Second meeting Thursday night in the library auditorium. A large number of students attended. An “Indiana Program” was given, as follows: Historical Iqdiana, Rosabel Daugherty.

State Institutions, Edna Babcock. Out to Old Aunt Mary’s (Riley) Gaylord Long. Natural Resources of Indiana, Virgil Robinson. Sketch of Gen. Lew Wallace, Joe Reeve. Old Brandywine (Riley), Irene Simpson. Noted Present Day Hoosiers, Supt. Warren. After the program a spelling match was organized, a large number of pupils participating In the contest. The match proved very entertaining and developed the fact that the high school has a surprising number of good spellers. It has been proposed that the “spelling bee,” which is, by the way, a popular entertainment all over the state, become a regular feature of future meetings of the High School Literary Club, to follow the formal program.
