Are you interested in having a college education? No But what is a college education? doubt, you are. sehool students know or realize what they are to take up when they go to a large university such as Wisconsin, and for this reason, the present students of the university have ar- ranged to entertain the coming generation of college men and women at the second quadrennial University of Wiscon- sin exposition to be held at Madison, March 19-20, 1915. Covering a floor space of nearly thirty-five thousand square feet in the Gymnasium, Athletic. Annex, and Union Building, this immense exhibit will be thrown open to show all visitors just what the university is, does and can do. The advantage to high school students will lie especially in that for the first time, a high school student will get an advance idea of just what the university is. him the wonders which are performed and learned in the various laboratories of the university. department of physics exhibit students will be seen handling liquid air and radium as though these new physical wonders Few high The Expo will show For instance, in the were mere trifles. ing models of various engineering feats which are astonish- ing the world at the present time. heard-of machines will be shown in operation, and all these wonderful exhibits will be the product of the ingenuity and The College of Engineering will have liv- New and hitherto um- resourcefulness of the students. will show seientific farming at its highest development, and the Department of Home Economics will show a model home, and the scientific methods of running it. will be well represented, and the persons so inclined will' find plenty of interest to them.

How- ever, every student in the university would like to see the whole Menomonie High School declare a two days' vacation and come to see the wonders of the University of Wisconsin as shown at the Exposition. The five hundred students who ----------- 7 ----------- THE MENOMITE 15 As they traveled through the open country, our hero was engaged in tending his engine, and saying an occasional word to the engineer, who answered with a grunt. The engine puffed laboriously over an eight-foot grade near Londonberry Crossing. track, and had a clear run to the next station. They were approaching the small town of Rockingham. As they came around the curve, Bob saw the little station Here they shifted to the outer nestled among the hills; the tall and towering pines to the right, while to the left was a freight yard filled with cars. The train drew along side the platform, and the stàtion agent ran to the cab window, handing Hawkins the follow- ing telegram : "Grandview, December 31, 1898. To Engineer Hawkins, Station, Rockingham: ful running through the tunnel bordering the Red River, as the river has overflowed its banks. Be care- "John Sawyer, President." Bob knew what that meant, and the sweat appeared on his forehead as he thought of firing a passenger train through Nevertheless he was not the one to quit, a flooded tunnel. and he gamely continued his work. When the train took a sharp curve, Hawkins grinned to himself as Bob reeled against the side of the cab. shall see of what stuff he is made when we reach the tun- "We nel," he said to himself.

December 11, the date for the slaughter, showed a final count of 64-7, and at that Menomonie was simply practicing teamwork a good share of the sec- ond half. Beauchamp's tossers all play- ed good ball, with Niles setting the pace by caging twelve baskets. This was Menomonie's first home appearance, and the crowd seemed satisfied that the team is in line CFH for state honors. The preliminary was furnish- ed by the Juniors and Sophomores, the younger class being trounced 22-0. Remember-this is one more nail in that championship we've been telling you about. ----------- 9 ----------- THE MENOMITE 21 GALAHAD vS. M. H. S. AT MENOMONIE. Galahad came here January 23, to uphold the honor of Hudson, and although they played a stronger game than Hud- son High, yet they were no match for the Menomonie speed boys. The game started with a rush, both teams fighting bard, but as Galahad couldn't stand the pace, the first half ended 26-8. The final score was 47-16. The whole M: H.

Menomonie started things in the second half by scoring two baskets right off the reel, but after that things were about even. The first half was 13-6 with the Cubs leading, while the final was 21-16. It certainly was a big advantage for Menomonie to meet the Cubs as they played a hard, fast game, without using the dirty style of most independent teams. By the way, we don't get the chaance to rdive that extra nail this time (our hammer slipped), but what Niles & Co. learned more than offset this.

Sipple shot twelve baskets and scored four on free throws, while Niles caged 11, Tilleson 10, Murphy 8, Haugen 1, and Thompson 1, field goals.

Officials-Krause (Bloomer), Quilling (Northwestern). EXTRA! EXTRA!! DOPE FOR THE DOPE FIENDS. FTER the dust of the Bloomer game had settled, we took our faithful "Exodus" pencil in hand and after a closed session with the seore book, dug out the follow- ing facts: Up to this time Menomonie has scored 382 points, while their opponents have scored 98. Niles, the red and white captain, has * scored 114 points, or 16 more than the total score of the opponents. Sipple has scored 92 points in four and a half games, or over 20 points per contest. Murphy, right guard, has manufactured 56 points, while Che forwards whom he has opposed, have garnered only 34. Menomonie's average score is 4734 points per game, while the enemies' shooters have marked up 124.
