school is going to adopt the plan that
Washington now follows, and it. is the
wish of the teachers that all of the

THE class graduating pin 'which has
been adopted by the June 1917 class
will be the official pin of Washing
ton, graduating' classes In the future.
Air. Herdman announced in assembly
Wednesday that all future classes
would use this kind of pin, with the
date only being changed. The pin con
sists of an oval, containing an em
bossed head of George Washington, a
letter "W" below and at the bottom
the date of the graduation. Mr. Herd-.
man stated that he had no doubt that
the pin, though now little known, would
become as well known as our maroon
and gold colors are.
.
The assembly held Wednesday was
probably the last one that the members
of the February '1 j class will attend,
so they sang their class song as is
customary on such occasions. They
eang words of their own making to the
tune of "Memories."
Frank Norraandin, president of the
student body, spoke, and told us of the
tag day which was. to be. held on
Thursday. The object of the tag day
was threefold. As it is customary to
give medals to the debaters that rep
resent Washington, one-third of the
money will go for the purpose of de
fraying the expense of these medals.
The medals are well earned, as the boys
worked hard, though not a little of the
credit is due to the coach, Matthew
Linnehan. One of the other reasons
for the tag day is that the soccer team
needs to be outfitted with both shoes
and Jerseys. Another third will go for
this purpose. The third and last pur
pose is that Washington's hockey team
needs to be equipped with necessary
clothes and paraphernalia. The hockey
team is in Its infancy, and so all the
clubs, pucks, etc., must be purchased
new. Spud's" speech was a good one,
and n the following day practically
all of the students bought tags.
, ' ' a
Immediately, after the Wednesday
morning assembly a meeting of the
boys interested in track athletics -was
held. Principal Herdman was the first
sneaker. He asked that all the boys
that intend to come out for track begin
. to prepare for it by doing some kind
of regular exercise each day. Charles
Parsons, captain of the track team,
spoke next. He told , the boys of the
cross-country run, and said that though
this was Just a preliminary event, it
would be well wortn entering, as V. Z
Karl coach of Washington's track team.
hd nduced the Hudson Arms Company
to offer a S6 pair of track shoes to the
winner of the run. The student body
has donated 3 for another pair as
second prize.
T-he February 1917 class cleared about

The Washington High mid-year
graduation class will be composed of
43 students. Edgar B. Iriper will ad
dress the class. The girls' chorus, the
Boys Glee Club and the school orches
tra will furnish the music. The class
will sing its class song and "Auld
Lang Syne." The decorating of the
hall will be done by members of the
June class.
Washington High School played its
first basketball game on Tuesday of
last week, and won it, with a score
of 30 to 13, The boys played verv
well, and it was the superior team of

Admiral" George Dewey" came to
school Monday morning with an -unusually
merry twinkle in his eye. His
many friends at Franklin soon dis
covered the reason. A college romance

Although Franklin students were dis
appointed in losing the first game of

endeavor to make up some of the lost
time. The hardest game is expected

Special interest has been taken this

Pictures illustrating his -books on the

more of his works.
