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.

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
