From tho ob- con- servntion car, I could see almost who came this year from Eastern said it looked moro liko tho giant with Tho Scven-Lcaguo boots. On closer observation they found it to bo Tho Senior who lives upon tho hill, on his rapid journey home. Just then tho girls discovered a trail of sand along the road. This they followed for a distance only to find that it was coming from the pockets of The Senior Domestic Science ! Cooking was introduced into the High School last year, in ad dition to the courso in sowing wna rvtunn 11a tlm tmn snaKe-iiKe up through tnouorge, fnr hrh hrandiAB i Oni m,i nf On one side of the track was a ftrw ft MIIWMVU M f Mi V V M W every way at once, and for moro than tlireo hours 1 was hold in a state of delightful expectancy and wonder by tho strange, new sights which grceted my eye on overy side. Tho van colored rock formations, tower ing elms, overhanging ledges. and gushing mountain torrents seemed to be shifting this way and that, liko pictures on a screen, as the train wound about $1500. Tho cooking room is equipped with- everything necessary to accomodate twenty-four girls at ono timo. Two sinks and a largo gas range aro additional convenient necessities besides twenty-four individual gas plates and ovens. A work table runs around the room and gives room for several drawers and a shelf for each person. At the end of tho room, overlooking tho river, dainty white curtains give a de cided homey appearance. The classes this year aremuch larger than last Beginning with the sixth grade, pupils from swift, narrow stream which foamed nnd dashed over and arouiid great boulders in its mad rush down through tho canyon, On tho other side, the high, per pendicular rock-wall of the Gorge was almost brushing tho side of the train as it crawled along, swaying from sido to side. When darkness came on tho moon was already risen and it shone directly down into tho canyon, reflecting itself in tho spray and foam of the stream beside the track.

The sewing and art classes use one room. 'Desks are pro vided for each pupil in which to keep their work, Two largo tables are provided on which to lay the material for cutting. On the window sido of the room six uptodate sewing machines stand. To these classes only high school girls aro admitted. mere was sucn a decided in crease in numbers that two new sewing machines have been re cently added to the equipment. On Friday evening, October SO, the Freshmen gave a recep tion for the upperclassmen, in the form of a Hallowe'en frolic. Upon the arrival of tho guests, attired in ghostly garb, masked, and silent, slips of printed in structions for certain seemingly purposeless excursions were giv es each one. Following these instructions the ghost-guests ar rived at the caves of ghosts, witches, and fortunetellers, where they heard hair-raising tales of the spectral past, were acquainted with future happen ings, and were given veiled but awful hints of warning. La tor, after R delicious supper, the guests enjoyed an hour or two SOCIAL LIFE. - Social life plays an important part at James John. Different occasions, such as class recep tions, and special days of cele bration give opportunity for the students to become bettor acquainted with each other; they mako the school a place of good fellowship as well as a place Of learning from books. In many cases bashful and timid pupils during their term at James John have lost their timidity and have learned to mingle and talk with ease with their fellow studentB. Such association has developed an enthusiasm for every enter prise undertaken by the school, With the feeling of good fellow ship and the school spirit grow ing from it, James John has de veloped into the worth while school of today, Ethel Hufford. Oregon. Be nir homesick he had put sand in his pockets, to mako himself believe it had col- lectcd there as it used to do whon ho took walks in Eastern Ore gon. All at onco they heard tho M . nonK 01 a car around a bend in tho road. When it camo into sight, tho girls saw tho Red Cross sign on it. Going closer to the car they beheld three Seniors. Tho President who because of her awful responsibility to tho Class had had a nervous break down, then Edna who carried her arm in a sling as tho result of taking so many books homo at night, and th rd v tho Ye Leader of tho Athletic Associa tion whoso voico had completely icic mm. Theso three were taking a short trip to ro- cuperate. As it was beginning to cot dark the gins started for homo. After going a short distance a red light flushed up before them in the road. The girls were frightened at first but after their fears had passed away they found they were facing tho last of the chosen seven. THE JUNIORS.

A comedy entitled "Tho VII lago Lawyer." and written by Arthur Lewis Tubbs, will be presented by some of the finest talent of tho Dramatic Society on November 20 in tho high school auditorium'. SYNOPSIS OF PLAY. both barrott. n manly young country lawyer, is running for u certain political office in opposi tion to tho political boss of the village, David Conant. Soth is also desperately in love with Conant's beautiful daughter. Helen. David Conrnt declares that Soth must givo un either his political ambition or his sweetheart; Soth will do neither, and so tho mot is on. A frame ot trickery is begun against tho hero, but virtue and true lovo win out over unfairness and dishonesty. While Seth is win ning a place in all tho neon o's hearts and, incidentally, their votes, David Conant is losing his power nnd faces defeat ut the polls. While this tanglo of lovo nnd politics involves the principnl characters, minor in cidents of fun nnd domestic in felicity engage the several other characters. At tho same timo these latter are ardent friends or enemies of the hero or tho villian. THE CAST. Seth Barrett, the lawyerJohn Mcuregor. David Conant. a ro t ca uuap it ill luuisuu.

Doyle Through tho Macic Door. You will no doubt airreo that tho creator of Sherlock Holmes must know a good tale when he sees it. Then let him give you a suggestion or two the next time you just don't know what book to take. He takes us through tho magic door of his study, seats us confidentially in a corner and points out to us with loving enthusiasm tho books which he has most enjoy ed from the old fashioned vol umes which he read in his boy hood by surreptitious candle ends in the dead of night when tho sense of crime added a new zest, to the faded scarlet and gold volume presented to him as a professional fee by a younc Frenchman dying of fever on the west coast of Africa. It is a good thincr." so aavs Conan Doyle, "to start life with a small number of really crood books which are your very own. You may not appreciate them at first. You may pine for your novel of crude and undulterated adventure. You may, and will give it your preference when you can. But the dull days come and the rainy days come, and always you are driven to fill up the chinks of your reading with the worthy books which wait so patiently for your notice, and then suddenly, on a day which marks an epoch in your life, you understand the differ ence.

The first game 01 the season was played wun uresnam on our own grounds with the score 7 to 0 in lavor of James John. The next game scheduled was with Franklin High and as James John was anxious to win they practiced in good earnest. The day of the gamo was Friday, October 30th, and after a rally nearly all of the school went to the ground to support our boys. Franklin High arrived sure of victory but were disappointed, for tho score finally read 14 to 12 in favor of James John. On tho next Tucnrlnv. nWHnn dny, tho team went to Gresham, alone, much to tho sorrow of the girls who wanted to accompany them but could not on nerminf of school.

S. girl is allowed to join and participate in thin sport under certain conditions. he restrictions aro verv simnln. their purpose being solely to make the tramp pleasant and lealthful. Henco no elaborate unches aro nermittofl. strictly outing dress is required. Tho Klatawas havo taken many hikes, tho first being only for short distances, later ones becoming more ambitious. Tho first long hike taken was toOrenco. Starting on a bright Saturday morning, the Klatawas walked the 16 miles to Orenco, arriving there about two in the afternoon. This was their first experience in a really long walk, so they did not venturo too much and made tho return trip by team. The next term they decided to take a longer walk and set Forest Grove as their goal. They had decided to take this tramp by stages, so they started out on! a Friday after school, arrived in Orenco that evening and stayed thero all night. . w , ; The next morninir thev sot You Will find in tho fnllnwl 11 ir Hat. which is arranged in the order of their graduation, tho name, present address, vocation, nnd the greatest ambition of cacli Alumnus in so fnr as we could discover: Class of June, 1910.
