ATHLETIC NOTES
A cold wind and rain put an end to an interesting
baseball game that was being played here last Satur
day afternoon between our team and that of Franklin
high school of Portland.
In our half of the third inning, with one out, a
runner on second, and the score one and one, the
storm jammed down the lid on what promised to be
a real thriller.
Hall, Franklin’s first batter, started the game with
a three-bagger over the head of our center fielder,
who started in, instead of back. Miller fanned and
Hall scored on Jackson’s long fly to center field.
About this time Charley George got his trusted side
wheel working and Franklin’s hitters started count
ing their steps back to the bench instead of rounding
first base.
Franklin’s team has all the ear marks of a first-rate
aggregation, which probably was the cause of all the
nervousness on the part of our team. Though they
made quite a mess of things at the start they soon were
putting on real class both in the field and at the bat
and at that stage of the game it looked much like our
twirler had mastered the situation so far as Franklin’s
hitters were concerned. By the number of our men
getting on base we know we would not be without
scores. On Friday we will be able to tell. On that
date the team goes to Portland to play a return game.
How are you betting?
JUNIOR NOTES
The lights burning out in the Juniors’ Hall at
McBride Hall didn’t prevent them from getting their
lessons.
Marjorie Montgomery, one of our Junior girls, is
still absent on account of her eyes, but will soon be
back to school we hope.
Raymond Jones and Robert Fielder, who were oper
ated on at the hospital last week, are back with us
once again. Vernita Burland was also discharged
Monday.
The Juniors had their “shirt and middy day” on
Monday, the 24th, in honor of the declamation contest.
Congratulations to the Seniors for winning first and
second place. We are very proud of our Junior who

DOMESTIC ART NOTES
Au Revoir, kind folks!
“Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have
been. ”
This is our last week up here and we give up our
class to somebody else. We wish them luck.
Friday we had our final fashion show. From our
groups of girls a selection will be made as to who will
be in the fashion show at commencement. All of our
construction dresses are quite classy looking.
Last Wednesday we had a dynamic symmetry test
and we all passed. We wish we had learned some
more about it.
A few visitors came to see our department and we
sang them a snappy class song which was said to have
been enjoyed.
Wish us luck in the next department.

A luncheon was served in the Wigwam for Miss

A few of our people attended performances of the
