two games by the score of 24-6 and 45-13. Our second team met defeat
at the hands of Silverton High School to the tune of 19-14 and 39-13; the
same team was beaten on December 23 by the McMinnville High ag
gregation by the score 38-19. On December 16th our first team w’as de
feated by the Willamette University quintet in a heart-breaking game by
the score 27-24; on New Year’s night our first team met Pacific College.
It met its Waterloo to the tune of 34-30. At the present writing the
the boys are out for vengeance, and everything points to our not losing
a single game henceforth.
A most satisfactory feature of the Athletic Association is the material
benefit which it has already rendered to the several athletic teams.
Owing to its unceasing efforts, twenty-four spacious lockers were in
stalled in the basement of the Gymnasium which was also provided with
excellent, up-to-date bathing facilities. In this connection the thanks
of the Association ought to be recorded to Messrs. Woods and Brown,
our genial carpenters, to Mr. Van Tassel, our husky engineer, and to
Mr. Mann, our gigantic blacksmith, for their prompt attention to the
needs of the Association. New, powerful lights were installed in the
Gymnasium, illuminating this place as never before. The basketball
teams were all provided with brand new suits, shoes, and insignia which,
according to the general concensus of opinion, are rather “ nifty” . And,
last but not least, the Association is the proud owner of neat and
attractive stationery which was devised mainly bv Mr. Turney.

Miss Clark, eldest daughter of Mrs. Clark who has charge of the culi

visiting with her mother.
Work still continues on the task of installing our new heating system.
It has been a difficult task to carry on this work and supply adequate
heat at the same time during cold weather.
On New Year’s Eve we experienced the first snowfall of the season.
Several inches fell to the delight of a large majority of the pupils, who
were happy to snowball one-another—and everybody else. Many of
our students are from the northern country where snow is common, but
those from certain parts of the south seldom have seen snow.
