The idea is that the school is going to adopt the plan that Washington now follows, and it. is the wish of the teachers that all of the students should understand the system before it goes into effect.

There will only be four teams in the Interscholastic League this year. These teams will be Jefferson. Lincoln, Franklin and Washington. BY EUGENE KELTT. 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 6 on their play. "Merely Mary Ann." The Washington High mid-year graduation class will be composed of 43 students. Edgar B. Iriper will ad dress the class.

The company manufactured a 100-pound piece of ice for the benefit of the party. a - a Characterized by a very spirited business meeting, in which Clark Schoboue and Fred Jones led two. op posing factions, the Fhilogonian De bating Club' staged its regular Thurs day meeting in a lively manner. A challenge from the Siceronian Debating Club from Sunnyside, an organization that is made up of students of the vari ous high schools of the city, was read and accepted.

Mr. Burns will have charge of the trip. . 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 that started a few years ago at Oregon Agricultural College resulted in the marriage of Mr. Dewey to Miss Evelyn Carlson. The bride was a popular stu dent at O. A.

The hardest game is expected next Wednesday, when the "Quakers" meet Columbia, the 1916 champions.
