Tho Phrenodike'n Debating Society held its semi-annual graduation pro gramme Friday of last week. It is the custom, for the graduating members to furnish the numbers for tho pro gramme on such occasions and as there is only one graduating member this year, she had to furnish the entire pro gramme. Elaine Cooper first sang a solo. A recitation was given, several readings and as a climax an asthetic dance, all by Miss Cooper. The pro gramme was given in the community house, and refreshments were served. Miss Cooper was also entertained at the Liberty Theater and the Hazelwood as a "send off" by the Phrenos While at the Hazelwood talks jvere given by all the officers of the society as well aa by Miss Cooper. A book containing snapshots of the various Phreno mem bers was given to Miss Cooper. . It has been decided that ice hockey will not be one of the interscholastlc sports this year. There was no real interscholastlc league, as the schools merely allowed the boys to take the name of the school they were from to play under. This year the question was brought tip as to whether hockey would be made an interscholastlc sport and it has been decided to tbe con- . trary. . . . f The June, '18, graduating class held a meeting Thursday of last week to talk February class. . It was announced that the class pins had been side-tracked somewhere on the way and it was necessary to locate them before the class members could hope to get their pins. a W An assembly was held Thursday morning for the purpose of announcing, the February graduating class play. Olin Lewis was the man chosen to do the talking. He told of the characters and described each one in a way that made all hope that they will be able to attend the performance. The pro ceeds of the play are to be donated to several of the organizations thar-are helping the boys at the front. Tho Y. W. C. A. will receive the greater part of tho money for the "hostess house" for which the members of tho organization are now working. Prin cipal Herdman made the announcement that he had received a letter from one of the boys' at the front, and that he had asked that the students of the school send sheet music to the boys at the front as they wish to sing and have no music. Plans for carrying out this request will be discussed later. The June class entertainment of the February class was held on Saturday night of last week. The entertainment was held at the Kose city Club house. An excellent programme was given by members of the June class. All pres- nt had a good time and were much pleased with the evening's entertainment. a a Two interesting debates were held by members of Mr. Linnehan's English seven debating classes Thursday of last week. The subject for the debates was the same, being "Resolved, That the commission form of government should be abolished in Portland." . In both cases the negative won the de cision. In the first period class the affirmative side was composed of KLaus Mensin-r and Frank Valch, ana the negative of Phil Neer and Edward . Lindsey. Mr. Neer was chosen as the best speaker. In. the sixth period class the affirmative side was upheld by ugene Kelty and George LaRoche-. while the negative was- taken by Paul Emmett and Holt Berni. In this class Mr. Emmett was given the decision aa the best speaker. Time is getting short now and the boys that had the debates last week will probably not have an other chance on the platform. Tha work has been of much benefit, how ever, and all that have taken it are -well satisfied with the results. An assembly was held Wednesday morning, at which Dr. E. H. Pence spoke in behalf of the Y. W. C. A. drive which Is being carried on this week. He- explained Just what .the "hostess house" plan was and how tha Y. W. C. A. intended to carry It out. He asked that the students would give something to the fund and left tbe plan to be worked out by the students and the teachers of the school. It was de cided that the students who wished to make donations could do so through the registration room teachers. The Tri-L Society held a meeting Friday of last week. The meefting was held mainly to dispose of some old busi ness that was pending. Plans were made for the admission of new mem bers and it was decided that the new officers should be elected at the first meeting of next term. An impromptu debate was held on the question, Kee solved; That an evening spent at home is more profitable than one spent at the movies." This closed the meeting.
