Captains have been elected as follows: Seniors, Irene Thomas; juniors, Delphine Swann; sophomores, Mary Bowchop; freshman, Ardis Owens; (7th and 8th captains to be chosen later). Volley ball games between girls’ classes began Mon day afternoon at 4:15. First game of the season was played Monday afternoon between the seniors and sophomores and the seniors emerged victors after a hard fought battle. Members of the cooking crew will be a some-what deminished but enthusiatic group this year. We are allowed to work in the Altamot cafe every other day. The plumbers have put gas stoves in Hawley Hall which is now the “club”. Mr. Joe Matte is lining the sink w’ith galvanized sheet iron in the new club kitchen. A report from the auto mechanics shop reveals the fact that the instructor in this department, Mr. Berry, is busily engaged in getting a large group of begin ners started in the art of tinkering with the innards of an automobile. The machine shop, under the direction of Mr. Allen, is going through a thorough fall cleaning at the pre sent time. Repairing and painting is the order of the day and every nook and cranny in this department is being energetically prettied up. McNARY HALL. NOTES Mr. Leslie LaVelle, former coach of Chemawa teams, has been transferred to Turtle Mountain school at Bellcourt, North Dakota. Every year about this time someone in McNary Hall invents a new hair-oil mixture. Sam Scott and David Berger have now invented a new kind of hair oil. It is a mixture of linseed oil and lard, to which is added a small amount of mint to make it smell good. The two boys expect this to be the big hit of the sea son. Gene Kyote, who is playing center on the “Green Horns” football team, got his wrist sprained when tackled by little “Moon” Jackson. “THE HOODOO” It has been noted by wide awake individuals that nightly and without fail the seniors gather at the aud itorium to do some conscientious rehersing on the senior play. The play is a rollicking three act comedy, “The Hoodoo,” which is to be given in the Chemawa auditorium on October 28. “The Hoodoo,” it is said, is something which must not be missed. A LIBERAL EDUCATION 1 HAT man has had a liberal education, who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism, it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic-engine, with all its parts of equal strength and in smooth working order; ready like a steam engine to be turned to any kind of work and spin the gossamers, as well as forge the anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored with a know ledge of the great and fundamental truths of Nature and of the laws of her operations; one who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire, but whose passions are trained to come to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender con science; who has learned to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of Art, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself. Such a one and no other, I conceive, has had a liberal education; for he is, as completely as a man can be, in harmony with Nature. He will make the best of her and she of him. They will get on together rarely; she as his bene ficent mother; he as her mouth-piece, her con scious self, her minister, and interpreter! Thomas H. Huxley
