THE ART SHOP
F. E LAFLER, Prop.
Last week may well be termed
the climax of this school year for
old Crook County High. The fol
lowing are a few of the things
that were accomplished:
The new students enrolled were:
Wiater Rosenberg, Clark Pollard,
Orval Hayes, Jeanette Stevens and
Mildred Young, making our num
ber 170. We welcome each of them
in the hope that they may soon ;
catch the spirit of our endeavor and
pass it along.
Miss Ruth Brennan gave a very !
instructive discussion on Oregon
Literature, Miss Conway rendering
some of the best selections In song.
The Juniors won by a score of
Mail.
The domestic art girls finished
their wool problem and gave their
second dress parade. Their dresses
met with approval and the
accomplishment is indicative of the
high standard of work upheld in
our domestic art and science de
partment. Two basketball teams were or
ganized among the girls. We are
fortunate in having as captain of
our first team a Portland girl, Miss
Bernice Scott, who was captain
there for two years.
Last but not least, our boys made
a splendid start on their way to -the
state championship in debate j
for another year. Prewett and ',
Hillyer won a unanimous decision
from Madras at Madras, Yancey j
and Barney winning the same kind ;
of a decision from Culver at home. I
The Culver boys made a splendid j
showing indeed, both being young j
and inexperienced in the art. The
decision was very close being ren-!
dered solely on the score of delivery, j
While this is perfectly true, and it j
is likewise true that our boys de
serve credit for their work, both i
the "Boss" and the boys say there j
remains a lot of bard work to be
done if we are to keep the "cup",
for we are, In a large measure,
still unprepared. Even so, we are
hopeful because our boys have
shown that they believe In pre
paredness. The udges for the
