Charles George and Leander Wilson did the twirling for our team, each allowing but one hit. They were timely hits, however, and counted for as many runs. Our batsmen hit the frosh pitcher almost at will and had but little difficulty in running up the score. The game was started late on account of the May Day festivities, so for that reason only five innings were played. On Saturday our entire athletic squad, including members of football, basketball and track teams, ac companied our baseball boys to Monmouth to see the game against the Normal School. An excellent pic nic lunch especially prepared for the occasion by our Kitchen and bakery forces was taken along and at the proper time was served with hot coffee under the firs. Stories and the telling of incidents in previous games, along with the music furnished by the athletic brass quartet, served to make this affair a memorable one. To top off the lunch and round out a “perfect day” our team up and w’altzed away with the game 14 to 0. The boys played almost errorless ball and batted to perfection. The large crowd that had assembled to see the game was readily won over by the splendid performances of our ball-tossers and repeatedly ap plauded them for excellent plays. Our infield has completed several double plays already this season and in this game added three more to the list. Starting with either Reginald DePoe or Valin Davis the ball travels to Charles DePoe and to Dewey Matt with lightening-like speed, yet these fellows seem to get faster with each game. Charles George pitched a fine game and kept the teachers’ five hits so well scattered that only once did they get as near home as third base, while his team mates collected 14 solid swats and made each one count for a run. If everything turns out just right, Columbia Uni versity will be here tomorrow afternoon to play a re turn game; on Friday the team will travel to Port land to tangle with the North Pacific Dental College team as the closing feature of their May Day festiv ities. Two more class games and the schedule will be com pleted. Last week the seventh graders led the highly touted 8th graders to the tall timber by a 12 to 2 score. The eighth graders expected an easy victory, but were unable to check the scoring of the seventh. The games won and lost now stand as follows: Won Lost Juniors 2 1 Sophomores 1 2 Freshmen 3 0 Eighth 1 2 Seventh 2 2 HEALTH PROGRAM Last Friday evening the various classes of the school put on a health program that was uniformly excellent.

Orchestra BOY SCOUT NOTES James Anderson has been appointed Assistant Scout Master of the troop in the Small Boys’ Quarters. They are rearin’ to go—knot tying is the go. Scouts Frank Baga, Kolbein Lande, Julian Smith, Fred Motchman, Myron Anderson and Charles Morgan are work ing to carry away the pennant in Semaphore this year at the Albany Scout Rally. Scout Baga was given second honors in fire by friction last year, but he says “Second to none’’ this year. Scouts Robert Hall and Hans Jack recently took their 7-mile hike as required in the second class test. The Scouts were to give a few hints on First Aid at the health program last week, but we did not. Remember our motto, “Be Prepared.’’ We were ready. Do a good turn daily is our motto. If you want anything done just call on us. We are looking for a Scout Master, one who is interested in boys. One who is interested in seeing these young lads grow into good men. These lads will some day have charge of their tribal affairs, or be leaders in their communities. It’s a great movement. Records show that 62 percent of the young men at West Point and the Naval Academy at Annapolis were Scouts at one time. DOMESTIC ART NOTES Top o’ the morning, folks! We are going to start practicing this week for the fashion show that is to be given in the auditorium at the end of the year. We have completed a number of white dresses for the Sigma party, and now that it is over we are as busy as bees making new gingham uniforms. Emma Sexton’s practice class have completed book lets for the fair and are now working on samples of fancy stitching.
