LINCOLN 6, Washington 3! The old
time football rivals have clashed
again and there is joy and great re
joicing in the camp of the Lincolnites.
I!y far the most important topic in
school In the past week lias been the
big game. The first part of the week

enthusiasm and spirit possible and the
results were certainly highly satisfac
tory. A formal football rally was held in
the anditorium Monday morning to
kindle every smouldering spark of
school spirit. I. N. Gorman presided.
Mr. Gearhart, the Spanish teacher and
ex-football hero, opened with a speech
full of life and vim. He led the school
in a rousing yell for Yell Leader Knud
sen. Linn Oliver, of the team, and
William Fordyce. editor of the Car
dinal, spoke on school spirit and the
game.. Coach Stanley Borleske ex
plained that although the odds against
which the team would have to fight as
the result of injuries to some of the
best players were great, yet the boys
would fight their hardest to win. Mr.
'iorman gave a splendid talk on the
Lincoln spirit. Yell Leader Knudsen
led in yells which closed with a deaf
ening "osky."
A large Lincoln pennant was of
fered as a. prize for the Lincoln stu
dent selling the greatest number ot
tickets for the game.
.
The June. 1916. class get-together
party in the gymnasium Friday night,
October 22, was a success. The fea
tures of the evening were fortune telling-,
a mock trial and special dances.
The fortune telling booth, in which
Miss Moore, of the faculty, Margaret
Curdy and Belle Simon revealed the
mysteries of the future, proved, pop
ular. Donald Montgomery, accom
panied on the piano by Russell Sewell,
furnished entertainment by his clever
clog dancing; Miss Gertrude Hoeber, a
talented musician, u sister of .Ralph
Hoeber. a member of the June class,
sang charmingly several vocal solos,
playing her own obligato on 'the vio
lin. Dancing and games rounded out
the evening's fun. Punch and wafers
were served. The committee in charge
of the affair comprised: Imogene Se
ton. Carl Knudsen, Margaret Mansfield,
Robert Cojgriff, Marjorie Kelly and
Harry Jamicson.
The symphony rehearsal, with M.
Christensen as conductor, in the school
auditorium Friday. October 22, was a
rare treat which the school greatly ap
preciated. William Boone gave a most
interesting talk on the different or
chestral instruments. He defined sym
phony and gave the meaning of abso
lute music as distinct from operatic or
concert music. He explained the move
ments of Johan Svendsen's D major
symphony, which was then played by
the orchestra. The entire programme
W4s given, which was almost more
than the Rtudents dared to expect. The
ballet music from the "Queen of
Sheba." which is an accompaniment to
graceful Oriental dancing, delighted
with its haunting rhythm. "Dne Taba
tlere a Musique Valse Badinage," by
Liadou. played by three flutes, three
clarinets, campanelli and harp, in imi
tation of a music box. was enchanting
and was most heartily applauded.
'Molly on the Shore," for strings, aptly
reflects the character of the dance
ni'.isic of the British peasants. Dvorak's
"Hpsitska." overture dramatic, was
wonderful and moving. Principal T.
T. Davis thanked the orchestra on the
part of the school for their kindness
in appearing before us. and said he
hoped this was only the beginning of
future concerts by Portland's Sjm-
phony Orchestra at Lincoln.
...

tem of tilling used was devised by Mr.
Herron. head of the commercial de
partment. tne of the commercial stu
dents, on graduation from Lincoln, ob

interesting.

Rose Johnson (Adelphian) and Martha
Loretz (Philolexian) ; the negative by

February Seniors at Benson
Tech Open Social Season.
Uoys BeKin Series of Entertainments
for Glrla of Trade School Scrap
Iron Is Tamed Into Live Power
Driven Hacksaw.'
BY RAYMOND HllU
FRIDAY evening, October 22, marked
the beginning of a series ot parties.
which will be given by the February
C17) class, in which the boys enter
tained the girls of the class at a get-
acquainted party held in the gymna
sium of the girls' school. Many games
were played which caused much mirth
and enjoyment. This class is parti
cularly fortunate in having so many
talented students, especially among the
girls, who seem to be gifted with must
cal talent. Two comic recitations were
also given which received much ap
plause. Light refreshments were served
at 9:30. The chaperones of the evenin
were William Oetinger, from the boys'
school., and -Mrs. Orahm, from the girls
department.
The February (1 6) class is planning
a cluss play to be given in December.
The class colors are purple and gold.
last week the students were much i
honored in having I. R. Alderman and
a larse party of visitors inspect the
tlifffercnt shops and departments, and as
the visitors passed through the shops
inspecting the work by the students,
many pleasing remarks' were overheard,
such as "that ia simply wonderful," "I
don't see how the young men can do
such perfect work," "This is simply
marvelous" and many others.
In the machine shop several pieces
of scrapiron piled up in one corner
were looked upon with much disfavor
by the students and instructors. Finally
someone conceived the idea of utilizing
this scrap in making a power driven
hacksaw, which was designed by the
students and which, was original in
every detail. This powerful motor
driven hacksaw, which has just been
completed has proved such a success
that another one of the same design
will be constructed for the new school
equipment. One special feature of this
saw is an automatic relief, which
relieves the saw after it has been
drawn the required distance through
the material being cut. This automatic
relief is of an original design and the
tests have proved it to be a practical
and valuable asset to the mechanical
rield.
A valuable asset to the electrical
students is the training they are re-
civing in the plumbing department.
Kaeh electrical student is required to
spend nve months' study in joint wipin
and cable splicing.
Perhaps the department that is
looked upon with the most favor by
the electrical and mechanical students
is the science department, the labora
tory of which is the best equipped ir
Portland. Here all forms of theoretical
work are studied.
On account of the Land Show using
the Armory, which temporarily is used
as a gymnasium for the students of
this school, basketball practice has
been suspended. A large quantity of
good material has been found this year
and without a doubt we will have the
strongest team we have ever-had.
Student body membership cards are
selling rapidly. They have only been
on sale for about a week -and approxi
mately every student in school has one.
Although we haven't much time for
social functions the more socially in
clined students are setting a pace which
the others are following willingly.
The gymnasium course, which is a
new addition to the course of study,
is being received with much favor and
appreciation by the students.

Wasco street. Miss Skinner, faculty
adviser of the class, gave several amus
ing readings, while games, dancing
and refreshments occupied the remain
der of the evening.
The Literary and Dramatic Society
has not during this term come into any
degree of prominence in school activi
ties; nevertheless, in its own quiet way
the society has been accomplishing a
great deal. An invitation from the
committee in charge of the junior ex
hibit to be given at the Central Library
has caused the Literary and Dramatic
Club to select a playlet and a represen
tative cast to enact it. The act chosen
is one of Yate's comedies, known as
"The Pot of Broth." The characters.are:
John Coneelly, Carl Applegren; Sibby
Coneelly. Helen Nicolai; the Beggar
man, John Howry.
The Jefferson Technical Club assem
bled in the school gymnasium last Fri
day evening for its annual "low jinks."
Every member was required to come in
old clothes, and anyone appearing in
a stiff collar was promptly deprived
of all superfluous decorations. Even
the teachers complied and removed the
'offending linen. The festivities of the
evening were opened by the initiation
of freshmen members. This initiation
was in the form of a variety of con
tests, the winners to compete in a pie
eating contest. This final contest was
won by Harold Irvin, wno was pro
nounced the champion pie-eater of the
Club.
To compare the relative merits of
this and last year's debating teams, a
member of each was chosen, namely
Wilbur Carl and John Mowry. The ques
tion was: "Should the Faculty Mem
bers Be Encouraged in Growing a
Mustache?" Despite, the brilliant plea
of Carl in summing-up the many-objections
and in order to award Mowry
a prize of a mustache in realization of
hia apparent inability to grow one and
in consideration of his desire, evidenced
by his heated arguments, the judges
decided in behalf of the affirmative.
A piano duet by Harlow and Towes was
followed by one of Mr. isastnam s dem
onstrations of the laws of physics. Mr.
Scott then prepared for a chemical
demonstration, and while the apparatus
was being arranged Mr. Jenkins played
several piano selections. At the close
of the programme the members formed
in line and, led by the "Gazoo" band,
marched to the cafeteria, where "eats"
were in order. After all had been en
tirely satisfied with cookies, punch, pie
a la mode and apples, the president
Jessie Perry, called upon several mem
bers for toasts. The toast of the even
ing was given by Mr. La Forge, founder
of the organization. He paid a well
merited tribute to Mr. Jenkins, which
evidently expressed the sentiment of
all present, as three rousing cheers
wrc given for the principal. All joined
in-singing "America" and a most en
joyable low jinks thus ended.
In an assembly Wednesday morning
Mr. Hilton,' a representative of the
Chamber of Commerce, spoke in behalf
of the Land Products Show. While the
students were assembled John Ken
nedy, president of the Athletic Asso
ciation, presented a Jefferson pennant
to Ralph Grabler for succeeding in get
ting everyone in his room to join the
association. In addition this organiza
tion bad ofered a felt blue-and-gold pil
low to the live wire selling the great
est number of tickets to the Lincoln
Jefferson game. This was presented
to Madeline Brown for having disposed
of 135 tirkets. Christine Parrot, Marsh
Davis and Gus Hixson all exceeded the
hundred mark in the competition.
George Studer seize oppprtunity by the
forelock and in speaking for the Feb
ruary, '16. class play announced a spe
cial inducement to be offered to the
CLASS PLAY, "WHY SMITH LEFT
..win m, ,... - -
live wires for selling tickets to "Why
Smith Left Home," November 12 and
13. This inducement is in the form of
the largest Jefferson pennant ever
made. It is to be four feet in width
by 10 feet in length. Keen rivalry is
expected as a result of this announce
ment, some live wires even taking or
ders in advance for tickets. The live
wire report on the ticket sale at the
Lineoln-Jef erson game shows $1 62.60 as
Jefferson's share of the gate receipts.
In addition to this, $40 worth of tick
ets were sold that were not turned in
at the gate. This enriches the Ath
letic Association something in excess
of $200.
The girls of the domestic science
classes under Miss Makelin have ar
ranged with Principal Jenkins to ban
quet the boys of the fire squad. The
squad of 60 firefighters has been di
vided into two shifts. One was royally
fed during the noon hour of Friday,
October 22. A quantity of the most
palatable dishes imaginable were
served to the first section at that time.
Since then the favored ones have
availed themselves of every possible
opportunity to chide the seemingly un
fortunate ones. However, things are
now reversed, and the second section
was treated .to a similar and, if any
thing, more elaborate menu last Fri
day. "Quality as well as quantity" was
the assertion of each and every mem
ber. Franklin High School Notes.

THE October issue of the Lens came
out on Friday. October 22. and the
general opinion is it is a good number.
The number was entitled "School Spir
it." and many students heretofore un
heard of in connection with the Lens
showed their school spirit by contrib
uting some good material.
The cover design, by Dorothy Pierce,
is unique and appropriate. The pic
tures and cuts are decidedly good, al
though Editor Frohn declared they are
to be better next month.
The Lens staff has shown splendid
work this year, but it is what was
expected.
Last Tuesday the Rostrum gave a.
Halloween party in room 37 and the
affair certainly was a success. The
room was decorated with Halloween
effects, the color scheme being black,
and orange. Old-fashioned games, such,
as apple bobbing, were the chief fea
tures of the afternoon. Refreshments,
consisting of pumpkin pie. apples and
the witches' brew, commonly known as
lemonade, were served. The "brew"
was served in beakers and relished
through test tubes.
Those responsible for the enjovable
afternoon were Charles Strube, Bruce
Schminky. Russell Pearon, Marie Hall
and Antonia Liest.
Surely there is nothins- slow ahmit
the class of June, '16, for already plans
are being made for the production of
tne class play. Mr. Orput. who will
probably coach the play, is strongly

to be appointed to confer with Mr. Or

made.

visit to the school was for the purpose

them to attend individually or collec

At the regular meeting all the new
members had to do impromptu stunts
and the stunts were clever as well as
amusing.
The most exciting rally ever held in
Washington High School took place
Wednesday noon, prior to the Lincoln
Washington game. The assemoly hall
was packed from pit to dome and the
yelling was certainly unrestrained.
Charles Wells, official yell leader, was
assisted by John Lee and Olin Lewis,
and the yells went off with a vim.
The rally was almost broken up by
the dignified entrance of the "Wash
ington Rooter," who was no less than
an adorable brown pig, clothed in
Washington colors. It is understood
that Harry Brubaker is responsible
for the clever idea.

The Lincoln-Washington game on
Wednesday of last week was a. big
school affair. Although Lincoln made
the statement that on the aforsaid
day "Washington would look like a
block of the Sahara Desert in New
York City on election day," she will
have to take it back, for the opinion
t v asnington afterwards was that
Washington had the bigger represen
tation. Practically every student and
teacher in Washington attended the
game and supported the team.
Although Washington lost by a S-3
score, she is proud of her team's work,
The industrial bureau of the Cham
ber of Commerce has shown up to
good advantage during the past week.
Eldred Pearce, vice-president of the
bureau, has been engaged in compil
ing statistics on the amount of money
spent by the individual students for
lunches. Mr. Pearce is endeavoring
to find means whereby the students
can have a desirable place to eat,
either a school restaurant or one with
in easy access of the school..
The development bureau,- under su
pervision of Harry Clair, is making a
canvass of the Washington district to
find how many pupils of high school
age are out of school.
It is hoped that the enrollment will
be so large in the course of a year
or to that demands for a new build
ing can be made.
On 'Tuesday morning Don Orput,
history teacher, departed from his dig
nified station as teacher and talked
as student to student on the subject
ot school spirit. At the close of his
talk he assisted Yell Leader Charles
Wells in leading some of the yells.
The Eukrineon Debating Society de
cided, at its regular meeting held Fri
day night, to begin publication ef a
small paper. Principal Herdman gave
his consent to the venture. It was de
cided to name the proposed paper the
Hamontlum. and to issue the first num
ber in time for the next meeting of the
society, to whose membership the cir
culation will be confined.
An impromptu debate was held on the
subject: "Resolved, That the Ford is
more of a pest than the mosquito." The
affirmative was taken by Charles Wells
and Russell Pearson, and the negative
by Nelson Clark and George. La. Roche.
Brief speeches were made by all the
officers.
