TIIB STAFF. Through The Keyhole Many of you may be wondering what made the sign In the skit flick er so prettily. The mystery is solved. We saw Ray Kelly rubbing horse Iinement on his arm. Pulling a re ostat must be hard work. Margaret Dixon also forgot her coat but she made It home and back In four minutes flat and she didn't borrow a bicycle. Don Porch still remembers his alma mater. Tt was he who painted the very artistic signs used In the skit. Bob Robertson has learned through experience that a person shouldn't touch a hot foot light with a wet hand. He tried it once during re hearsal and It blew up and went boom. What could have been wrong with Bob Brack the morning of the track meet. He looked like the break-up of a hard winter.

S. struggled with that fish for about 45 mlnuua before we could get' It near enough to the boat to land it. subsequently, we returned to our anchor line and resumed fishing. My tackle had hardly reached the bottom of the river, when there was a vicious tug at the line, the reel sang, the line ran out about a hundred feet, and tho daddy of all the salmon leaped into Che air on the end of my line. The fish was so large and my rod and tackle so sportlngly light that It was necessary for us to leave our anchor and float down the river back and forth acroea the current wherever that fish decided to go. An hour and fifteen minutes later, after we had covered about half a mile of river, the fish was finally landed in the boat landed on the La Grande High school salmon rod and tackle. That ILsh weighed 33 and was 48 In ches long.

Vague phrases can be heard floating around In the air. Walking down the hall one can hear snatches such as "haven't hand ed that in"; "worked '11 12 last night"; "hey got your "; "can't get that done"; "lota hooey"; "haven't any time"; "that's crazy"; "doesn't do us any good." Strange facial expressions have been adopted by many of the pros pective graduates. One can only guess at the meaning of these oddities, but they appear to be a mixture of sus pense, fear, relief, and toothache, or perhaps a touch of the sun. One wonders If the strange appearance of these students can be covered or even modified by the long gray robes, and the square cardboard with the tou sles. Tuesday, May 28, the day of (you I name it), and then, perhaps a quick eye may discover who of the class has j a wallpaper diploma and who has ! the coveted sheepskin. MR.

GIRLS' TRACK ENDS YEAR Since this Is tlie last Issue of the Tlger-Hl Light this year and the girls athletics have not ye; come to an end. I shall try to summarize and tell what shall obviously come to pass by the end of school. It looks as if the Freshmen will step Into the limelight and receive first place In baseball. Another startling bit of news concerns tho Juniors, they are favored to win the track meet next Friday. Track concludes the activities ot the year, but at present there Is tumbling and baseball accompanying it. On Thursday the tumbling and dancing classes plan to present a demonstration of their work In as sembly. Many girls will have enough points to win a letter and there will be a possible addition of 25 or more girls in the Letter Girls club.
