A'
N assembly was held on Wednesday
afternoon at 12 o'clock for the pur
pose of Interesting the students in the
patriotic parade which was held on
Thursday afternoon. The students were
asked to participate In the demonstra
tion in -a body, both girls and boys.
George Black, the president of the stu
dent body, presented the matter to the
students. He told of the organizations
that the other schools were planning
to participate and asked that Wash
ington students would turn out also.
Many of the students signified their
intention of marching, and Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons were spent
in drilling - Three squads of eight men
each .had already been out for some
time, a.nd these are now competent to
have squads of their own and will be
gin drilling them at once This Is the
form of organization that Colonel C.
E. Dentler, who is in charge of Wash
ington's drilling, favors and it promises
to be far more efficient in the end than
the system of having all of the boys
come out at once and trying to drill
the entire body. Washington had a
good-sized entry In the' parade.
On next Tuesday the Tri-Ls of Jef-
ferscin. will entertain the Trl-Ls of Lin
coln' and Washington withj a party at
me jenerson tiign fcctiooi.
The Wdnesday morning assembly
was opened, as has now become the cus
tom, by the singing of the "Star Span
gled Banner" and the repeating of the
oath of allegiance by all of the stu
dents. John Dentler sang the two
verses and the chorus of "My Own
United States," and then the whole
school sang the chorus, which had
been printed and placed in each of the
songbooks. Principal H. H. Herdman
asked all of the students who could
to come out that afternoon and learn
the drill so that they would be able to
march in the parade. Then Superin
tendent Horn, of Houston, Tex., spoke.
He said he supposed that many of the
students did not know the purpose of
their being in school, and that he con
sidered that the - main reason was to
become better men and women. He
also spoke of the similarity between
the high school students of the various
parts of the United States. .
' The French students of the first and
second terms met in room 9 to organize
a club on Tuesday, March 27. "Fleur

-Guard, Don T. Orput, the director of
the production, says that the play is
coming along satisfactorily. He ex
pects to have a really worth while pro

the cast practice each night. The fact
that the Washington High School term
tests are held at a time about a month

short time after these tests. The title
of the play is "When Bunty Pulls the
