WHEN "Washington opens its doors on Monday, January SI, a new term will have been started. W hile 85 students have departed through gradua tion, between -'00 and 300 will register at Wahineton for the first time. It in understood that owing to the num ber of freshmen coming in, Stephens School may have to be used to house some of the newcomers. Outside of the regular enrolled pu , pila there will also be many post-graduates registered for the term. Although many of the graduated are going to college, there is a number who intend j posting until June, after which time they will enter coliege or university. The members of the Washington Hiph Alumni have extended a cordial invita tion to the graduating class of Feb ruary, '1. On next Saturday evening, February 5, the alumni will entertain the graduates with an Informal party and dance at the Laurelhurst clubhouse. At this time the graduates will have an opportunity to join the organization. The February class Issue of the Lens comes out on Thursday. Clara Scharpf, editor, who promised an exceptional is sue, has surely lived up to her word. The material is excellent and rather out of the ordinary, and as a whole the issue shows individuality. a Sunday, January 23, practically every member of the graduating class heard the baccalaureate sermon preached by Dr. John II. Boyd, of the First Presby terian Church. - The largest mid-year high school class In the city was graduated from Washington on Thursday night. The exercises were really beautiful and were witnessed by over 1000 people. a a After the commencement . exercises and reception on Thursday evening the graduates attended a banquet at the Hotel Benson. The banquet was ar ranged by the boys of the class and they did tlieir duty as hosts. Although Joy and class spirit reigned throughout the evening, it whs with reluctance that the party broke up, for everyone realized that the good times of Feb ruary, '16, were at an end. The banquet at the Hotel Benson on Thursday nfxht, given by the boys of the graduation class, was a most de lightful affair. Mathew Dinnehan. ol the faculty, honorary member of the February class, was toi'.st master and principal speaker. He paid the clas many tributes and afterwards gave the members a very encouraging t.-ilk. He then called on Jack Benenel, class president, w ho re ponded with a very pleasinir talk and toast. The other class officers were called upon for a toast and after alt was over the class sang their class song and "Auld Lang I Syne." Jerry Stevens proposed a toast I to "Washington." after which the fes-1 tivities were brought to a close by the singing of "Washington. My Washing ton," followed by the Washington chant, led. by John Lee. school, two-thirds of them freshmen, makes it hard to find a team to con tend with Lincoln, Jefferson and Wash ington, which have 700 boys to pick from. In the Hill game, D. La r sen loomed up as a basketball shooter. His shots were made possible by the close guard- I mg and passing of his teammates. Wrinkle and Jones played sterling games at guard and Hiatt held the best j men of the Hill team at center. Phillips at the other forward position, though closely guarded, contributed several of the points of the winning- score. Jefferson Evening School. The student body of the Jefferson Evening School elects officers twice during the school year. The results of the election on January 1? were: G. Lester, president: F. L.

The pro gramme, as suggested by the com mittee of the debating auxiliary, will comprise three debates: The first on March 3, between the juniors and seniors, the second on March 1 7, be tween the freshmen and sophomores, and the third and final debate on April 14. between the winners of the first two contests. The question for the first debate sr "Uesolved, that the office of Public Defender should be created throughout the United States." The question for the second debate is: "Resolved, that the Gary School Sys tem be adopted in the Portland school-." The third question will be determined later.

The seniors have been very busy of late planning their annual and discus sing the selection of the senior play. Puch an early start augers well for a cood dramatic production. The annual Is now well under way: each department editor has formulated plnns for every square inch of space allotted his particular department; the Joke book is growing fat and the ar tist's portfolio is as good as a picture gallery. Several prizes lave been offered for contest work. A copy of the annual has already been won by Luetta Thomas, who suggested the name de cided upon by popular vote for the publication. "Tumalum" is an Indian name. For the best story, two prizes are offered, a high school pennant as reward for the best story and a copy jf the annual for the next best. Two prizes are also offered for the best two pjems. The class hopes to have its book ready for sale by the first of April. "We are expecting a l.trire new sup ply of '"fresliies next Monday.

T AST Monday the architectural stu 1 J dents had a surprise. Monday the classes were informed that they were to be the guests of Miss Wood at the Central Library, in the art department, that afternoon at 3 o'clock. At 2:45 12 students went to the Library. The purpose of the reception was to illus trate the viriue of research work; that is, the history of architecture, design, the five orders, the many styles and periods of domestic architecture, in eluding Gothic, Spanish, Italian, Ger man, French Byzantine and American architecture. The students also learned the easiest method of looking up the references on the work. K. Williams, instructor in architecture, chaperoned the students. The Automobile Show in the Armory last week caused the basketball team to mis several days' practice, as the Armory is used as a temporary gym nasium for the athletic work of the Benson Poly tech. Lust Friday, January 21, students who are in the habit of coming early to school were surprised and worried as to the cause of the continual ham mering sounds issuing from the as semoly hall. Upon an investigation they found several carpenters fork ing busily on the seats in the hall. As the new law requires all the seats in the school to be connected into strips containing seven seats, it was necessary to have the seats of Ben son Polytechnic School fixed before it was possible to hd an assembly. At this assembly Mr. Cleveland, principal of the school, presented to the students the Benson Polytechnic Bund, and Mr. Woodward, of Woodard & Clark Dru-r Company, spoke in an entertaining arid instructive way. The teachers last week organized the Faculty Club, a new organization in Benson Poly technical School. The purnose is to increase the social ac tivities of the teachers. With the oncoming term, the regis tration is expected to take a decidedly rapid growth. With all the shops full at the finish of this term, it is proved that the Benson Polytechnic School needed new and larger facilities. The new school will be located on the East Side, and will accommodate approxi mately 2'200 students. It will cover seven and one-half acres.

Last Wednesday night marked the last social affair of the Benson stu dents this term. The February "17 class as the guest of the seniors at a banquet that in every respect was a success. A short programme was arranged, consist ing of music and readings. Miss Frelda Wilson gave two readings. Miss Mary Pattie gave a short sketch, and Miss Isabel Steele played several violin solos. After the programme some of the students danced, while others played games. Refreshments were served at 10 o'clock, after which Marten Koreski gave a short history of the class. Miss Wey, gymnasium instructor, was chap erone. OW many different words do you use in conversation? How many do you use when you write? Do you use different words when you write than when you converse? How large is your reading vocabu lary? i. e., how many words do you recognize the meaning of when you read?" These are some of the questions Pro fessor Melendy, head of language in Franklin High School, has been asking the students in English. The questions have aroused considerable interest, both in and out of school. In order to determine with reason able accuracy the extent of students' vocabularies, Mr. Melendy. with the help of the English teachers, made use i of the following plan: ith ebster iiisu uuui j-s it- li I'll eli y a g iur uaoia, list of l!t0 words was selected at ran dom, and yet with enough system to secure a fair average list. Of the 260 words selected, for each one in cluded in the student's vocabulary he was given credit for 100 words. As check, a second list was prepared in a similar manner and submitted to some of the same students. The re suits were practically the same. The test was submitted to 90 first-termers just entering- high school, and to 21 third-termers who were beginning the second year. The results showed that first-term students have an average speaking vocabulary of 7000 words; a writing word list of 8S00. and a reading vocabulary of 12,100 words. The third termers are credited with 7600 words in their speaking list, 9160 in writing and 16,400 in reading As these figures are somewhat higher than those published in several text books, Mr. Melendy was asked for an explanation of the difference and he replied that the published lists were, for the most part, made 20 or 30 years ago. Mr. Melendy believes that students in these days, when they enter High School, have many more words at their command than young people a genera- lion ago and there are several reasons why this is so. General intelligence is more widely diffused now than then. Reading matter of all kinds is more accessible. Periodicals are cheap and numerous. Public libraries make read- ng matter abundant and attractive. Besides this, 25 years ago there was very little teaching of English in the elementary schools outside formal grammar and the school readers, while today. "English" is the one important subject irom the kindergarten up. Young people know more when they enter High School than they did a gen eration ago. Mr. Melendy was then .asked if he considered the vocabulary a test of all- round ability. He replied: "Not alto gether so. It is a test of a person's information. One cannot hold an idea ong without a word to represent it: but information is far from being education."

' ' Wednesday afternoon the graduating class of the Sellwood School visited the girls' department and listened to a lec ture given by Mrs. A. Alexander upon the course of study and different lines of work taught in the school. The members welcome these guests, for a better idea of the work done at the school may be obtained in this way than in any other. The third-term pupils have served luncheon throughout the term and have had no opportunity of eating the things which they have prepared, so Monday at the lunch hour the girls prepared a luncheon and served it to themselves. The menu was composed of those dishes which had been most successfully served to guests. President Foster, Mr. Morgan and Miss Josephine Hammond, of Reed Col lege, visited the school in company with Superitnendent Alderman last Tuesday afternoon. j Last Wednesday morning, at the reg ular weekly assembly, Mrs. A. Alex ander gave a short talk to the students, j thanking them for the interest and enthusiasm which have been man- i ifest during the past term and advis ing them as to the work of the future. Mis. Shillock, spoke of the earnest en deavor which the glee club made to make the singing more pleasing. BY DOROTHY D UNI WAY. THE main event of the past week was graduation.

There is a possibility of more than 650 students enrolling next term and no place to put them. To overcome this difficulty, classes will be held before 9 A. M. and after 2:30 P. M. with the usual seven periods during regular school hours. The rest-hour at noon will be changed so as not to conflict with that of the grammar school. This will -enable classes to use the grade classrooms during this time. There ia a probability that four new teachers will be added to the faculty. At pres- ent the study of agriculture is in great demand and a new class will be formed next term. Although agriculture has never been authorized by the School Board, as a course in itself, it is he coming too popular to remain long as a branch of science. Among other new; studies to be introduced are commercial law, psychology, chemistry, Armenian history and in the manual training course, pattern making.

The following menu was served: Cream of asparagus soup, maccaroni and cheese, sliced tomatoes, baked apples with, cream and hot rolls. These luncheons are given all through the semester by the second-term girls in a systematic order. The class is divided into sec tions of two girls each who have cer tain days to prepare their luncheons. They must invite from six to ten guests and serve a well-balanced lunch at a cost of 10 cents for each invited guest. Much has been said about the vaca tion between the Fall and Spring terms and how to eliminate it. In complying; with the requests of the School Board Principal Ball has suspended class work for only one day on which tho students may secure cards and books. As there are no examinations, school will continue as usual until the end of the semester.

The basketball team went by auto to St. Helens Tuesday evening, January 2T, where they played the St. Helens High School quintet. When the whis tle for "time up" was blown the score stood 17 to 15 in Franklin's favor, but the timekeepers differed, one contend ing that there was yet one minute i which to play. During this one minute two fouls were called on Franklin, which tied the score. On Thursday, January 20. Franklin gave a matinee dance for the benefit of the student body. The dance was the first of the many leap-year af fairs which will be held at the school in 1!'16. No girl hesitated to ask for a. dance, and the only drawback was there not being boys enough Co go around. Wednesday, January 19, was a day of tragedy for the girls' basketball team of the department of commerce. After playing a hard game, the time ended with the score tied. After much argument they decided to play till the tie was broken. As the bread always falls to the floor buttered side down. so did Franklin s crest. The result was a score of 12 to 8 in favor of the Arleta Grammar School. Miss Gold, the mainstay of Franklin's team, was not allowed to play. The Dramatic Club will stage a play Thursday, February 3, as part of the programme for the Parent-Teacher circle. They also hope to be soon started on the next regular produc tion which will appear next semester. CHICKENS RETURN PROFIT Morton Country Dueller Follows Advice From State College. MORTON', Wash., Jan. 29. (Special.) An instance of what a man can do in the chicken business is evidenced by the experience ot Clarence Ross, of Highland Valley, two miles west of Morton.

He was sent some literature telling of the kind of feed to use and about how much it would cost. The sum necessary was $33. To day the same chickens, after reimburs ing their owner for his initial feed in vestment, are paying for their own keep, helping feed the hogs and are taking care of the entire grocery bill for the family.
