paper. THE following boys accompanied the team to Lawrence last Saturday: Owen Smith, Clark Swayze, Dick Rogers, Orson Stiles, Tom Corwin, Horace Swayze, Robert Stone. THE majority of the High School scholars seem to have the impression that this paper is published by a few and for a few. Now, this a wrong idea; this paper is devoted to the interests of the whole school, and to that end we wish that every member would contribute to its support. Give vent to your feelings or your flighty imaginations, and write a story or a poem and hand it to any member of the slaff, and it will be thankfully received.

This is an opportunity which may never again be presented to you, and we would advise that you, one and all, take advantage of it and write an article for the BUDGET. Miss Fales, formerly a teacher in our school, was married on the 16th of this month, at her home in Ottawa, to Mr. Frederic C. Strong, a former manufacturer of Winstead, Conn. Dr.

Milner of this city performed, the ceremony, which took place at noon, after which Mr. and Mrs. Strong took the train for Denver. They will be there several days, coming back in time to spend Thanksgiving in Ottawa. Mr.

and Mrs. Strong will make their home in Winstead. HIGH SCHOOL BUDCET. CLASSIC DEBATE. A debate on the character of Shakespeare's Brutus was held after school on November 15th, between the first ann seeond divisions of the class in Julius Caesar.

The first division, with Mr. Danber as its champion, defended the character of Brutus against the second division, which, headed by Miss McKee, condemned him, The debate was opened by the latter, who briefly made the charges against Brutus. Mr. Danber then stated in a few words the commendable traits in the man. These statements having been made, the way was opened for any one to speak.

And the interest rapidly increased as both sides participated freely in the dicsussion, When nearly dark, the debate was closed with a very strong argument by Miss McKee, followed by one from Mr. Dauber. The judges decided in favor of the second division. Every minute of the discussion was interesting and showed that great credit was due to Miss Murphy who has SO well conducted the classes, and from the first invested the subject with a fascinating interest. SCIENCE CLUB.

The Science Club held a very interesting meeting on last Friday evening. There was a good attendance. The following papers, which were well read, gave evidence of careful preparation, and were listened to with much interest: Accurate Determination of Longitude -Will Nazum, Indian -James Fulcher. Early Artic Explorations -Taunsie Capps, Review of Scientific Magazines--Bessie Babcock. Mr.

Ayres made a few interesting remarks, after which the meeting adjourned. It looks as though it is to be a a close contest between the two cieties for the possession of the medal for the first series. The grades in full will be given in our next issue. Both of the societies have pur: chased a bulletin. board upon which to post the assignments.

They are a great convenience for teachers officers and members. Each society now has four divis. ions. According to this plan each member will have to speak but once in eight weeks: Let the additional time be an incentive for better work and more systematic preparation. Things are running along smoothly in the Society under the guidance of its new president.

He is "the right man in the right I place." ALTHEN McMANUS, PRICE 610 KANSAS AVE. TOPEKA. PERSONALS. Mr. Floid McDonald, a former member of the T.
