Take this one in which he'tells of his youth and his love for his first wife, Marie Marais, a Boer maid. A tragic talo it is.

There were thotwins,Jknown to their large circle of friends and still more numerous censors as Ug and Buz, but their real names were Lionel and Hilary, a fact they rigidly suppressed 'at all times. And there was "The Kitten," who cared not a single groat or any oncorCanything in the! whole wide world so long as Hho got her own way. And this, being a member of the Ffolliott family, she did not get nearly as often as she would havo liked.

In the Dramatic Society our histrionic art again comes to tho rescue. The "leading lady," the dapper "summer boarder" and Lobelia are from the Sophomore ranks. In the play let, "The Obstinate Family," other Sophomores took leading roles.

Mrytlo Dickio tawson, June '12 "Tho Village Lawyer" is com ing to town, uomo nnd set ac quainted with him at tho II. S. Nov. 20. Last Friday evening the Dramatic Society gave its first program of tho year. It con sisted of two parts a contest debate and a one-net comedy the performers in each being Freshmen and Sophomores. The question for debate was, "lie- solved: That a student-body or ganization is tho best method of manair ntr all school activities. including discipline, in the James John II. S." Thoafllrma tive was supported by tho Sopho moro team 1' orris fawisher, Dorothy Schafcr and Drott Larson: tho negative by tho Freshmen team Wyeth Jayne, Margaret Nelson and Clarice Wilson. This was tho first appearance in debute for most of the speak ors. and their work was surpris ingly good, considering the time that was allowed them for pre paration. Tho leader for the aflirmatlvo argued for the pro posed plan on the ground that it would develop tho needed self control and self reliance in the individual, applying his argu ments chiefly to high school athletics. Tho second speaker. saying that tho "Proof of the nudding Ib in tho eating." show cd how tho literary activities aro now virtually under student control, and proved tho plan in creasingly satisfactory. The forceful, clear delivery of Miss Schafcr was a strong factor in tho work of thoafilrmativo team. Tho third speaker on thoafilrma tivo handled tho question in his usual original and ablo way. lie clinched his points with ex ample and illustration and show ed that no is capable or "keep ing his head." Their oppon ents, tho negative, did good team work. Tho leader advanced proof to show that tho Inexper ience of high school pupils needs close faculty supervision and control. His manner of delivery was excellent. The second sneaker's argument was given with an earnestness that adds much to a debater's power. The third speaker's argument show cd more work and thought, per haps, than that of any other of the ovening. Experience win givo confidence and force. Tho judges, Mr. Iry, Mr. nabb and Mr. White, gavo tho decision to tho afilrmative, by a vote of two to one. This dobato Is only tho first of several that aro to tako placo during tho year, for thcro is plonty of good mntorial in tho school, and tho Society means to mako tho most of it. "Tho Obstinate Family." a comedy of one act followed tho dobato. Tho butlor and maid, who aro setting tho tablo, quar rel becauso tho maid refuses to obey tho butler and say, "Thank goodness the tauie is spread," Thoy each take their story to thoir master and mistress, a young married couple, and tho nislmnd unluckily says that if 10 asked his wife tosay,"Thank goodness tho table is spread." sho would do so at once.

Finally tlio father and mother-in-law ar rive, and on hearing tho story, thoy, too, fall into a dispute, tho mother agreeing with her daughter, that sho was richt. and the father siding with his son-in-law for masculine au thority. Finally, by a happy thought, tho young husband brings in a new shawl for his wife, and tho quarrel is mado up. After much coaxing, tho butler and the maid agreo to make it up, and happiness onco moro reigns in tho famiily. Tho roles in this spriRhtly omedy wero played as follows: Mr. Harford Uarlylo Cun ningham. Mrs. Harford Jennio Olin. Henry Harford Ferris Swish er. Jessie Harford Ruth Kundall.

At that time the James John High School be enmo an active member in tho State Debating League. Evidence of increasing inter est may no realized when wo compare tho number of volun teers for the tryouts this year with that of tho first year, Then It wns.wlth difficulty that six students were persuaded to enter the preliminaries; this year fifteen havo volunteered without any persuasion being brought to bear. Tho first year's team, however, was not lacking in energy nnd ability. They won for James John the district championship over the eight high schools which made up the Willamette Valley district. En tcring the state semi-final do bate, they lost to tho Springfield team, rue teams 01 this year were: Edna Hollenbeck. Low rena ItawBon, Johnson Cheney and Basil smith. Last year of the eight stu dents who entered tho tryouts tho successful ones were: Haze Hall, Maggio Dickie, Catherino Gonsmnn and Lulu Day, who made the teams. Drott Larsen and Homer Plaskct, next in rank, wero tho alternates. Each team was wholly succesfuls In ono debate, tho ailirmatlvo win ning against Urcsham, and los ing to Astoria, whilo tho nega tives lost to Gresham nnd won against Astoria. Tho work of both teams was exceptionally good. This year tho volunteers are: Will Teutsch. Ferris Swisher. John McGregot, Drott Larsen, Gladys Palmer, Itegina Parent, Frank Bugbeo, Frances Miller, Florence Davis. Pearl Evans. Margaret Nelson, George Down ey. Carly 0 Cunningham. There is first class material In this list, and wo aro depending upon it for a championship team.
