SENIORS’ ANNUAL PARTY T hose who were fo rtu n ate enough to be present at th e A nnual S enior p arty last S aturday n ig h t are to be co n g ratu late d . T h is annual affair is considered the m ost im p o rtan t of the year, and the one given by the C lass of 1920 w as no exception. Indeed, th is party will stand o u t possibly as eclipsing all form er efforts, for it was th o ro u g h ly planned and com plete in every w ay. T h e large gym was a veritable la b y rin th of hearts and cupids and blue b ird s (th e latter th e class sym bol), h u n d red s and h u n d red s of them suspended from overhead th ro u g h o u t th e hall, w ith darts, cupids and p en n an ts on th e walls, all c a rry in g out a unique valentine m otif. T h e d ain tin ess an d artistic beauty of all decorations was strik in g and beautiful. A program was staged in the n atu re of a “ T ake-off” on the reg u lar F rid a y class program and m uch am use m ent was created by the various local hits. In a d d itio n there were choruses and vocal and in stru m en tal solos. T h e refresh m en ts an d table settin g s were par excellence and did full ju stice to th e p lan n in g of theclass and capable execution of Mrs. Brickell and her d o m estic science stu d en ts, who so kindly did th e catering. Indeed, th e en tire evening was one round of pleasant su rp rises an d enjoym ent. T h e p articip an ts will long rem em ber th e 1920 Senior p arty as a great social suc cess, in w hich th e class accredited itself so well and in w hich M rs. A da B. R isser, senior teacher, was the g u id in g hand. ATHLETIC NOTES C hem aw a’s prospects for a scrappy little baseball team th is season are very b rig h t. L ooking over the s tu dent body we see m any who can sta n d up to th e plate and slam the pill and scoop ’em out of the d u st on the diam ond. W ith all th is good w eather we can n o t help but feel th e baseball season slip p in g aro u n d . M onday found a detail of tw o boys, a team and scraper tak in g off the ridges and filling in the low spots on the base ball diam ond. Coach S anders, w ho has th e track men an d cross co u n try men in han d , has been h av in g w ork-outs d aily . T h e m en look fine rig h t now and will u n doubtedly give a good account of them selves in the big race in P o rtlan d . In dividu al pictures were taken of our cross-country PAG E 3 ru n n e rs on M onday. Spearson, R acine, Many hides, Pablo, W ar B onnet, Caleb S m ith, Last S tar, W illiam Ell and P eppion are am ong those snapped and our rep resen tativ es in th e big cross-country race will be taken from th is group. Joe B ettles, w ho has been decorating him self w ith honor in the past seaso n ’s basket ball schedule, can be seen these su n n y days out w arm ing up his arm for the com ing baseball schedule. Joe is a left-side w heeler and has sent m any of ’em back to warm th e bench. R ight now he looks b etter than ever. T h e cro ss-country ru n n e rs are out each day and are practicing earnestly in preparation for the big race to be held in P o rtlan d F eb ru ary 21. All th e big colleges and ath letic clubs on the coast will be rep re sented in th is event and our “ d istan cers” will have to get up and hu stle if they w ould win one of the beautiful cups offered for th e first twelve men to cross the tape.
