m aw a at Junction City and when the
open for all 100-yard dash was called
by the sports' committee of Junction,
Cyril doffed his baseball cap and was on
the mark. He won easily in 10 25 seo,
THE ; BATTALION
The band and Companies A, B, and C
went to Salem and participated in the
Fourth of July parade and celebration.
Many were the words of praise given to
the marching of the boys and their ap
pearahce in the parade,
THE PICNIC
The girls and small boys had an en
joyable time at home, All kinds of races
were run 50yard, 100-yard, haif-mile
relay race, sack races, three-legged races
and baseball by the little boys, while
games of all kinds were indulged in by
the girls. The lunch on the lawn was
greatly enjoyed,
THE f IREWORKS
After supper the fireworks commenced.
The lawn about the school house was set
aside for this purpose and from that
time until "taps" there was an incessant
roar and blase of fireworks and noise
making appliances. It certainly was a
big day and one to be remembered,
THE SMALL BOYS,
The Small Boys claim to have had the
best time of all on the Fourth of July,
The morning hours were devoted to
making arrangements and practicing for
the afternoon sports.
A general invitation to all employees
and students to be present at the grand
stand to witness the games, was sent
out, consequently a large crowd
greeted them when the ball game between
Woodburn and Brooks was announced
at 2:15 p, m. James Joe was captain of
the Woodburn s and Roy Wilson for
Brooks. The winning team was Brooks
in a score of 10 to 9. The next was a re
lay race between Chemawa, represented
by A. Smith, J. Home, J. Darnell and
F. Wilson, and Portland, represented by
McK, Moses J. Whitehead, R. Downio
and C. Walker, It is needless to say
that Cherrawa won the race,
After that came the races of various
distances. Charles Dies won the 100-yd,
race, Oscar Grant won the 50-yd, race,
Lawrence Mahatch won the sack race,
Douglas Luke and John Johnson won
the 3-leggcd race, Hartley Williams won
in the open or free for all race,- running
twice around the track.
The boys take this opportunity of
thanking Mr, Henderson for the assist
ance he gave them in the races and also
for the soda pop with which he so gener
ously treated the Winners.
We omitted to say that Henry Dili
strom acted as umpire of the baseball
game, One of the teachers kindly con
sented to do so, but when the time came
for t he game, she begged so earnestly to
be excused that Henry Dillstrom agreed
to act in her place,
When Mr. Campbell arrived at the
Small Boys' Home Sunday morning and
learned of the races, he gave the win-
ners fifty cents towards a treat for tho
next day, for which, the boys extend a
vote of thanks.
When a big boy in one of the upper
grades does not return to school after re
cess, remaining out without permission,
it shows that his school education is do
ing him very little good. He had better
work all day.
