High School Notes.

The local basketball team will probably get to go to Gary on March 10 and 11. This has been made possible by some of the old members returning. The team is one of the lightest that R. H. S. has ever had, only averaging 130 1-3 pounds per man. In spite of this they have won a greater per cent of the games than during the football season. It has been a better one than the football season both financially and from an athletic standpoint. There have been several meets arranged for the track. The work will begin as soon as weather permits. The boys’ quartet will sing at the Patron-Teachers’ association which will meet Thursday evening. The Home Economics girls have started their graduation dresses. In the contest the D. A. R. pays $5 for the best workmanship and $5 for the best design. The limit of the cost of the material of the dresses is $7. There will be a literary meeting at the high school Thursday afternoon. It will be a musical one and the public is most cordially invited. The freshman English classes will finish reading Cooper’s “Deerslayer” this week. The junior English classes will take up reading Macaulay’s “Essays on Johnson and Goldsmith.” The Chaos staff met Monday evening. The staff will give a picture show to get money for the Chaos. .Mr. Krath will aid in taking pictures to reduce the cost to a minimum. These pictures and the material must be sent in to the engravers by April Ist.
