And, in passing, it may be said that the Tiger, sinewy and strong, proved itself of epicurean quality with no more training table menu necessary for a few months. The occasion was the annual Hi Dad banquet honoring the La Grande High school students whose acconu plishments were outstanding during fethe past scnoox year.

' It was a colorful meal, and to' the seniors in the group, it was a fitting finale to a glorious year of achieve ment. Thero was Fred Nowland, whose 1S.5 in the i20-yard high hurdles in the Eastern Oregon track meet was two-fifths of a second better than the national interscholastic record: there was John. Shepherd, high scorer at the district basketball champion ship tournament, thero was Gene Faus and Virgil Conley, crushing backfleld men of the 1030 gridiron machine; there was Willie Torrence, all around athlete, whose versatility at Corvnllls the other day dumfound ed track fans and actually accounted for 174 points; and there were many others, some passing on to post, school days and others preparing for another year or two of lnterscholastic competition. ' Par down the table, inconspicuously seated among a bunch of students and Hl-Dads, was the king of the Tiger den Ira Woodie, former Unl- jNanvpa High school star. Blessed with good material, much of which was systematically developed during the last few years by lnterclass competi tion and grade school contests, Coach Woodie sent his Tigers to two out of thriA ma nv Fur torn OrPffon chom- fpionshlps, and finished second in the state football race, the stato relays at Eugene, and tho state track meet at CorvaUls. The year 1930-31 goes down In history as the most successful in local high school history from an ath letic standpoint. During the evening, one-of the speakers stated that Coach Woodie would be with La Grande High school for two more years, and this announcement was extremely gratifying to those at .the banquet.

Emily Lumber company mill at 3:50 o'clock this morning to fight a fire that broke out due to a back fire from a firebox under the boiler. The flames were controlled after damage was done to tho extent of about $2500. The fire was confined to the roof of the boiler room and the shavings vault.

La Grander Takes First Flight Today Jerry Canady. of this city, a stu dent at tho Dud Rankin flying school, made his first solo flight this morning after having received only a little more than five hours of In struction. He had no difficulty at all either In taking off or In landing, and although he got a real thrill out of the trip, he did not have time to worry or become excited over the responsibility of piloting the ship alone. It Is said. W. C. Perkins, who recently pur chased a plane of his own while on a trip in the east, has been receiving instruction at the Rankin school, and has made several solo flights lately. Mr. Rankin says that flying con ditions here are more difficult than at Portland because of the higher altitude and uncertain air move ments, so that students who learn to fly here will be more capable than those who get their training at sea level, and will be able to fly anywhere in the United States with out difficulty OPEN COOKING Miss Louise Leslie (uhiive) will have charge of (he Observer Cook ing school, which opens this afternoon ut the High school, to . continue through Thursday mid Friday. 1500 CHILDREN IN FRIDAY MEET Event Will be Biggest of its Kind Held in Eastern Oregon This Year.

E. Shewmaker, president.. A complete organization, which will give everyone In the city an opportunity to buy and wear a poppy in memory of the world war dead, is being developed by the unit under the leadership of the auxiliary, and a larger salo of memorial flowers than ever before is anticipated by tho unit. -- "The purpose of the po?)py sale Is two-fold," Mrs. Shewmaker explains, "first, to honor the war dead by wearing the poppy which grows on the fields of France and Flanders where- they fell and second, to aid the living 'victims of the war, the disabled veterans, their families and the families of the dead. Every penny of the money which the people of La Grande pay for their popples will go to the relief of war sufferers, part of it to needy veterans and families right here In La Grande." Saturday, May 23, will see the whole nation wearing the memorial poppy. Poppy sales conducted by 7200 auxil iary units will cover practically every city and town In the country. More than 10.000,000 Americans arc ex. pec ted to pay tribute to the world war dead, and help the war's living victims through buying and wearing a poppy on this day, Mrs. Shewmaker concluded.
