The Wilmot boys made the first basket and this was the only time thruoat the game that they were in the lead. The McHenry Jboys exhibited some wonderful 4eam work and basket throwing. Captain \ Overton showed " -some very sensational one hand shots * from the corners at a straight angle * with the basket. Richter of Wilmot did the main part of the playing for .his team. He made 11 out of 19 joints and mogt of these were long sfaots* '*•- ; 4 * On Saturday, 'iwC " M, ^ihe 120 pounders of Wood»€oclc came2to Mc Henry and played a very good game, Altho they were beaten 38 to 16.

Where seen her ? :|p||did what had lie done to her? These questions raced thru my aching head. 1 sat motionless for some time watching the actions of this mysterious man. What was his purpose in staying so long? Why did he spend so much time at the silver? He did not look in my direction once. I began to realize that by cutting the wires \ had cut off my only means of rescue. The knife had been taken from me. I made up my mind I must escape from the house, let the man take what he would, I must escape. Slowly I raised myself and dashed toward the door. Before I reached it I felt a grip of steel on my arm. Turning I saw the grinning face of the thief directly behind me. He forced me into the dining room, where, despite my resistance, he bound me securely with the very sheet and bolster I had brought downv to save me. Fiercely he pushed me for about twenty feet. I heard him open a door. I was thrust ahead and the door shut | and locked. For a long time I stood motionless, afraid to move in any direction. I had no idea where I was. I did not know which direction I had m two years ^ language shotiflB school. >\^ could : THE TAiUB t# UK ' Every student who enters high school ought to have an aim and strive to make this the foundation. Almost every student who Starts high school has an aim in his mind of what kind of work he wishes to do in after life. In choosing his course he should bear in mind these facts and carefully select work that will not hinder his ambition. If he thinks of going to college he should take a preparatory course for his work that will help him in college and* also help build up his ideas. . . Another student does not think of an "aim." He takes a general course from which he hopes to develop his work, which was as easy As h ike with as little as possible, If he has no school he should so that the courst Mi' work may be carefully selected fpi him in later years. The knowledge that is obtained - during your high school career is the fafcftdfclion for life.fc Mar jc|jr-|fhiting.

Mr. Tallmadge: For many students foreign languages are the most practical subjects possible for high school study. It hardly seems, however, that they should be required of all pupils.

Many required to take such a study. Answer--Kathleen Power& I think that a foreign language should be required in any high school because a foreign language would greatly benefit any student. Many colleges require a certain amount of time spent on foreign languages. A foreign language is the basis for further work, for instance, if you intend to take English or history in college it is necessary to have some knowledge of other language. .< Then, too, foreign languages/-are a great help in reading and in travel.
