Every Friday morning, at least thro speakers will appear before the assembly Mil near the end of April. It ! a custom In tbla school to require every senior to (iv ipeech before the assembly .In bli senior year. Last year tbe speeches were merely talks on tbe live of various great ronn and on Important top Ira. Tbla year, how ever, the atandard of the spechs Is to be rained. Instead of talk!, each tenlor must deliver an oration. Those orations were part ot the 4tb year English work of last semester, and considerable time was given to their preparation. Only those sen iors who took part In tbe debate and wh-o will appear on the commence ment program or In the leldwln Or atorical contest, will be exempt from giving the assembly speech. 'In a short time the Juniors will commence rehearsals on their play. The members of tbe cast have been learning their parts and tbey will soon bave them learned, so that at rehearsals, they may be given with out tbe use of their manuscripts. Miss Cunningham, the junior clans advisor, will coach the students In this play. Ib-port n t 'onntttullon The committee appointed to draw up a student body constitution, re parted to the aaesmbly last Friday morning. The constitution was rend tothe student body entirely through, aiid then In tbe second reading it was explained and discussed section by section. Considerable disagree ment was had pertaining to tbe mat ter of the funds of the various or gUnlzed school activities. After con suming the greater part of the time allowed for discussing the matter, and no satisfactory agreement hav Ins been arlved at. the assembly ad journed until a deflnlte'understand Ing could be arrived at. Every stu dent Is In favor ot organising the student body. It is very probable that In the next meeting final action will be takon on the constitution Dow being voted on, and it will be either adopted or rejected. . Mr. Medley was compelled to leave bis work Tuesday noon on account ot Illness.- For a day or two he had Dot been fueling well and be was Anally unable to remain at bls'work any longer. ', Dramatic t'lub OrgaJilwd ; : A dramatic club has been formed In the school. It Is the first attempt St establishing a permanent organ ization of this nature In tbe school. At the nrBt meeting the election ot officers was held. Vera Dunham was elocted president, Margaret Nl eolal vice-president, and Maude Mil Horn, secretary-troasurer. The ob ject of this organization is to create greater Interest in dramatlca. As the only opportunity for such work Is In the junior class when the jun ior play Is given, and then only a few are chosen, this club will offer a better chance for any student who 1 Is Interested In this line ot work. The remainder of the year will be used to complete a permanent or ganization and to outline a program ot the club's activity. In the years to follow, It will be the aim of this club to present at least two plays 'a year. At present, considerable in terest Is displayed towards the crea tion of this club, and It is probable that the club will be used to advan ' tage by the students. Uasebnll Intercut Growing Tbe junior class bnsebull team has played the freshmen and sophomore classes and defeated them both by good scores. The grounds bavs been occupied , almost every night with students busy practicing. In terest for . baseball is coming back again Into Interscholastlo sports. Tbe last few years bave faced lark of lntrst In this particular sport; but Indications again point toward the regeneration of the national pastlmo in Central Oregon's schools. Hums has again written asking for a definite dste on which It csn come here to play. Madras also sent letter endeavoring to schedule a game or two. IUaketlMll lMlrr Given Out At the end of each sesson of a par ticular line of athletics, the high school rewards those members of the team who bave been active In caring for the honor of the Institution In that sesson. As tbe basketball sess on has closed, with Prinevllle second In tbe Central Oregon League, the heroes are given their last chance to make a public appearance, respect ing that line of sports, when tbey sre presented with tbelr letter, the highest honor the school csn confer upon an athlete. Those receiving a letter, designating the first year of besketball, are Tom Jacobs and Wal lace Alraack. Thoae receiving bars, designating that tbe student has played for two or more years, are. Ogden Mills. Raymond Smith and Lester Horlgan. Paalilona Come and do. Not all styles are created In Paris or any of the other famous Euro pean capitals. Prinevllle comes In tor ber share of bonors In creating new fashions. The latest fashion tolerated, was Insugurated by the high school boys. The chief appar el of particular Interest Is the com bination of overalls and derbies. Tbe first dsy the new fsshlon made its appearance on tbe campua, It met with wild enthusiasm, for, the next day, about 30 or 40 boys were rigged out the same way. The overalls will stay, but tbe derbies cannot last, tor, overalls can be sat on, but der bies are not made that way. Tbe junior class has completed Its study of the classic "Democracy To day." Following Is a composition written by one of the students giv ing an example ot what kind of Am ericanism Is being taught In tbe schools today. The IHilJce of the American Cltijvrn De an American! That is the on ly real duty. Bullet us see what a true American Is. In the first place, he Is a man, In the true sense ot th word. He is one who thinks wisely, doeply, snd expresses his Ideas free ly, lie expresses them by tbe grat common means the ballot. He up holds the Government, which sfter all, Is but his Ideas put into actual practice. He follows Us laws, which he helps make, and If bis ideas are defeated by vote, he Is not angry, but gives In gracefully to the major ity. There are many citizens In tbe United Statea who are too lazy or too careless to vote. . Then they kick about tbe administration, and knock the officials, but if tbey got in line and worked for their rights, they would have the satisfaction of knowing that they were an aid to their cause. The citizen may secure his many rights. He has freedom loexpress his Ideas, he has the right o erect buildings for his purpose or Industry, he Is protected In every way by the law. he ha, the right to vote, he has the right to establish and honorable trade, he has the right to bring up his children under the same peace and democracy. But it is his duty to secure those things not a mere privilege. It is his duty to use the ballot, which ia the means ot gaining these ends. The American citizen is the think er. He studies to find ways of bet tering his conditions In lite. And his conditions being bettered will not the community be helped, also? Arid the community In turn help the state, and the-state the nation, unt.l at last it is built up, aided by tho thousands of American citizens, who make this development their duty? To be an American, a citizen must be educated. He must not only be taught knowledge from books, but he must be taught the principles of American liberty. He must be ed ucated to a high resolve and a sense of moral courage. He muBt be ed ucated to unselfish tdeala and to gen erouslty. Another duty of the American cit izen is to bring up his children In the atmosphere of liberty and dem ocracy. We have Instituted public schools for the purpose of teaching the coming generation how to get along with the world and how to meet problems of daily life. But the good citizen , is taught at home at school everywhere. It Is the duty of the parents to guide him. The citizen must teach the Immi grant 'American to love our.great country, to speak Its language, to strive for It and to bring up their children as future citizens In short to enter Into the living spirit of America. Every man, woman and child In the United States should join hands to accomplish this pur pose. For what wouW possibly be the advantage of having tbls great mass of foreign born In the United States, If they were but transplanted portion of tbelr native land? Al most every large city has a part lu which the people ot one nationality gather, where their native language Is spoken, there Is conglomer ation of ignorant, slovenly foreign ers, many of whom cannot speak one word of the American tongue, and who are satisfied with tbelr condi tions and bave no desire to better them. Shall these people be allow ed tbe ballot without first learning bow to use It? Everyone knows the answer. Ignorance however, Is not the only menace to good cltlsensbip, Sel fishness, greed and covetous ambi tions are rocks upon which the old ship of stale Is constantly jarring. These faults must be overcome in some way. To educate tbe greedy and the selfish does not gain advan tage, for It Just adds cunning to dev iltry. Deviltry Is not what we want to build up our nation. Tbere are many educated men who speak of patriotism, yet they are not patrio tic. They write of good citizenship, yet they are not good citizens. Tbe good citizen must not only speak In glowing words bis loyalty at homo, at school, la church, but must live up to bis Ideals. In crisis, such as we faced a short time ago in the Great World War, It is tbe active patriot that counts. In such a time great sacri fices are necessary. Before, man was free to say what be chose about tbe attitude of his government. But when that government has-decdared war, be must give up bis views and boost the cause tor all be is worth. He must sacrifice for It money,. la bor, even his life If necessary. The good citizen will give cheerfully, loyally give till it hurts and then give morel Co-operation Is necessary ele ment la a succeasful nation. Co-operate with other citizens for tbe pur pose ot bettering the community, the slate or the government. One per son cannot do many things alone. He must mingle with bia fellows so cially industrially politically. He muat enter Into their spitles, and they muat take hold of the ropes, and pull together. Imagine the dis order tbe utter chaos ot a people ten million strong, all pulling In op posite directions, all with different objects! How far would this na tion advance? No, that would not do at all. The' duty ot every good citizen Is to help man Uncle Sam'a national barque, all tbe citizens to gether anamlable, loyal crew, all helping to land America from a prosperous voyage- to its rightful place In tbe sunt M.

' Mother, my heart aches for you in your grief, Only your trust in God can give relief. Though from the home nest all the birds have flown, -Yet In your sorrow you are not alone. Clara M. Pratt, To Mufcs friend of Toad. The toad Is not looked upon with any great amount of favor by the aver age person,, and is generally thought of as being "ugly," while the old boy hood superstltlou that holds the lowly hopper ns responsible forvwttrts still lingers la many adult minds. In real ity the toad 4s a peaceful, friendly little creature that ("an be trained In a very few minutes to be "pals" and after a week or so can be made as affectionate ns a dog. They are cleaner than any furred animal, and are ex ceedingly Interesting as pets. Tracing Origin of Billiards. Billiards Is believed by some to have been brought frour the east by the Crusaders, while others claim an English origin for it and find it allied to the game of bowls. Still Others as sert that the French developed It from an ancient Oeyiinn game. It seems pretty certain Unit the first person to give form and rule to the game was an artist nnmetl Henrique Pevlgne. who lived In the reign of Charles IX. One writer sees In billiards the an cient game of paillemnllle played on a table Instead of on the ground, and this Is a reasonable assumption. 4 and be sure you get shoes that are made eatirdv of food leather.

To Aotomobil TTT DID THE FACT ever-occur to you, the ( automobile owner, that your car was to be t compared to the modern railway locomotive? Most all of you know that when the locomot ive arrives at the division point it is turned over- to skilled mechanics who carefully examine every bolt and bearing, see that the monster is getting proper lubrication, in fact make a thorough examination of the entire machine. Your car needs the same attention a loose shackle bolt eventually means a broken spring. Poor water circulation means loss of power and an overheated motor, and lack of attention to your battery means "stalled," mosttimes a great distance from a telephone, and general inattention means a great deal more up keep and running expense. We take care of all those things in our new service plan, at a very nominal cost to you, a plan that will repay you a thousandfold in time and money saved. v Come in and talk it over.
