ATHLETIC NOTES
Last Thursday evening our basketball team added
another game to its long string of victories when it
defeated the All-Star Indian team from Grand Ronde
46 to 26. Though the score is somewhat one-sided,
the game was fast and close throughout and was one
of the cleanest games played here this season.
Though there were several changes made in our
line-up, the team played its usual fast passing game
and worked the ball up for all close shots. Dandro
George, who has been playing a guard position all
season, was switched to forward and registered 17
points, while Charles George, our running guard, was
our high point man with a total of 20 points. Charles
played a remarkably good game. Repeatedly he
eluded the guards with a pivot and dribble and worked
the ball up to the net.
John Milne, guard; Peter Rassmussen, center; Wil
liam Brendible, forward; played an excellent defensive
as well as offensive game and by their close checking
held the Grand Ronde team down when it looked
like their clever passing would gain them a basket.
DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES
The Sophomores are getting happier every day.
They are living upto their motto, "Progress,” and
find it is a good one.
We were given the pleasure of serving our basket
ball teams with a delightful supper last Tuesday even
ing. This was the first time we had served our own
teams. All of them said it was a great success.
Thursday evening and Friday morning the Grand
Ronde basketball team was with us. Although we
had short notice we managed to prepare some very
good meals for them.
Good-bye till next Wednesday,
T he S ophs .
SENIOR NOTES
Charlie Moon is still showing his stuff in geometry.
It is rumored about Maybelle Bremner and Edna
Audette that they are very efficient cooks.
Harriet Hill asked some very interesting questions
in Assembly last Wednesday. They were answered
very enthusiastically by the Junior class.
Not long ago we started to study the "Tale of Two
Cities.” Even from the start we found it very inter
esting. Our English teacher makes it most facinating
to read by explaining some of the "jaw breakers.”
LOCAL
The Reliance boys say that the Excelsiors will have
"to go some” to have a higher percent in attendance
than they.
The Boy Scouts did a good turn last Saturday in
meeting the guests of Chemawa and parking the autos.
They were a courteous bunch of boys.
Several of our people attended the basketball game
in Salem on Monday evening between teams from the
University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural
College.
Old timers in the Government Service, who were
watching Congress for action in regard to the retire
ment act, were doomed to disappointment. No ac
tion was taken by the House.
The members of the orchestra were delightfully
surprised when they filed into the orchestra pit last
Sunday evening to find splendid new electric light
fixtures on each stand. Mr. Kunkel, who made and
installed the new fixtures, has the thanks of the
orchestra.
The marching rating for the girls during the past
week gives no decision for McBride companies, as they
were about equal, Capt. Grace Peterson of Company
A, and Capt. Lydia Davis, Company B. Company D,
Ida Bendixon, Captain, of Winona, secured first stand
ing, and Company F, Hawley Hall, Captain Lucy
Craig, gets first place.
The first call for baseball candidates was made last
week. Forty boys answered the call and practice will
start the latter part of this week or just as soon as our
basketball schedule is completed. We have some good
material and should have a good team, which always
seems to be the case at the beginning of the season,
but a couple of weeks will tell us about the calibre of
our team.
The D. A. R. ladies, possibly fifty in number, who
were here on Saturday last, certainly were loud in
their praise of Mrs. Turney and the girls’ octette and
boys’ quartet, and choruses, as well as appreciating
the stunts on the part of Hawley Hall little girls given
while the guests were shown through that building.
Indeed, all the departments were in splendid shape
and as a whole deeply impressed these representative
women.
