THE girls of the February, '17, class
entertained the, boy.-' of that cIkss
at the girls" school Friday night.
The reception was lit-ld In the gymna
sium, which was decorated with maple
leaves and ferns. Light refreshments
were served, after which the students
proceeded to dance. W. Oteinger and
Mrs. G. Graham were chaperones of
the evening.

Perhaps the thing mat Is causing the
most comment In t)i school at present
is the Benson Polytechnic Band, which
organized last Tuesday. In March. 1914,
someone conceived the Idea of start
ing a musical organization In the school.
C. S. Brereton, a well-known musician
on Its faculty, gladly consented to take
charge of the recruits. A meeting was
held and when the roll was called It
was found that the bnnd had 13 mem
bers. No, as this was considered an
unlucky number and also as a group
of students who were "raw material,"
as the boys had never played an In
strument, prospect were not bright.
This was the depressing condition Mr.
Brereton had to face.
Band practice was held twice a week
In th assembly hall and the sounds
Issuing from It were not pleasing to
the ear. but In a couple of weeks' time
the boys were running the scales and
variations !n perfect tune, and by June
the boys were so lar advanced that ar.
Brereton decided to let them march in
the industrial parade of the Hose Fes
tival, 1914. Here is the most remark
able thing about the band. In the three
months It had been organized the mem
bers had so far advanced themselves
that when they escorted the float In
the parade they took first prize of their
division. This caused a great amount
ofH-omment. and much pi-ae was show
ered on this musical organization.
The following s-'eptetnber the band re
organized with a membership of ".'K. Sys
tematic practice was carried on, and
In May, 1915. this organization gave a
concert af tho Lincoln High auditorium,
which was a great success. During this
year It filled many important engage
ments, playing at the laying of the
cornerstone of the new Shattuck School,
before the Portland Ad Club In the
blue room at the Multnomah Hotel, and
many other places of special Interest.
When prepi rat ions were being made for
the Rose Festival last June the band
was much honored by being asked by
tke officials in charge of the Festival
to march in two of the parades. The
Benson Tech Band, then known as the
Trades Band, held the position of honor
In the children's parade and also In the
electric parade.
During the graduation exercises of
June, "15, the band played an important
part, but after last term tnings looneo,
pretty blue for the hand, as 11 of the
members graduated with the June, '15.
class. However, prospects began to
boom with the beginning of last week,
when Mr. Brereton agreed to take
cht.rge of the band. A meeting was
held last Tuesday and a record-breaK-Ing-
number of members waa present
When the list of members for the fol
lowing year was recorded and totaled
It was found that the membership for
this year was 45. Mr. Brereton appointed
Albert Milleras manager ana victor
Smith as librarian. The first practice
was held last Thursday, November IK.
Practice is held Tuesdays and Mondays.

Members of the basketball team are
not in tho least bit sorry to see the
Land Products Show vacate the Armory,
which Is used as a temporary gymna
sium. The boys are quite enthusiastic
this year, as the prospects are bright
for a splendid team.
The students of the Uenson foiytecn-
nlc School have been enjoying the priv
ileges of using the Couch anrfShat-
tuck schools' swimming tanks, although
everybody regrets that we are not in
the new schools and have the swimming
tank and gymnasium. The new school
will have the largest swimming tank in
Portland.

Due to the demand for a debating so
ciety the past year, one will be formed
In the near future, as win a dramatic
club. It seems that the students who
attend Benson Tech do not have time
for all the social affairs that are car
ried on tn the other schools due to the
fact that perhaps the student would
rather apply himself to his particular
trade he is learning. Possibly If the
girls were in the same building there
would be more student activities.

The second issue of the Jefferson
Jupe put in an appearance Tuesday
afternoon. The Jupe is issued once a
month in the form af a daily news
paper. Instead of running in opposition
to the Spectrum as one would suppose.
It is published to produce the super
fluous and censored material. It was
thought at first that the Jupe could bo
given out free, but it was later found
that a charge of 2 cents would have to
be imposed on all other than Spectrum
subscribers in order to defray the ex
penses. Its popularity did not cease
with the decision to charge.

The Technical Club had all arrange
ments made for a visit to the Interstate

occasioned a postponement.

A fair estimate of the success of of
fering an inducement for the sale of
tickets to class plays and games may
be obtained by using the February, '16,
presentation of "Why Smith Left
Home" as an example. The large ten
foot pennant offered to the live wire
selling the most tickets was won by
Miss Eva Hutchinson. This live wire
turned in a sum of $115,25 for tickets
sold. The pennant cost the class in the
neighborhood of $10 and here are the
names of others receiving honorable
mention: Curtis McKinney. of room 4 2,
$44.15; Marguerite Studer, of room 15,
41.;i5; Miss Hadley, room 1. $31. The
pennant w-as presented to Miss Hutch

making their own class books in this
department, converting a quantity of

Although the final count has not as
yet been taken for "Why Smith Left

people attended, paying a littlo in ex
cess of $600. Of this amount, close to
$175 was expended for a coach, soenory,
