Arden f ang bo?n, Hubert Kendrick Mitchell tried to smooth matters over and get some money by writing a letter to her in wnfcThe invented a case of meases for his friend, "in hope that that childish disease might remind her tenderly of the time when Jack was also childish." . Aunt Mary suddenly and unexpect edly appeared in New York, and ex planation and reconciliation followed. .u. io Jack, of course, won fhe gir whom he had loved all through the play. The part of Betty, the gfrl, was ably played by Bernice Lewis, in fact, the whole cast played WThe rest of the characters follow: Bob Burnett, Abe Wax; H. Wynkoop Clover, Isaac Davis; Mr. Stebblns, Herbert Copple; the girl fom Kala mazoo, Louise Jacobsen; IAcinda. Helen Zwingli; Joshua, Ted Gur an. James," Herbert Copple; Daisy Mulllns and Eva, Annie Runes. It was rumored for a while tnat Ted Gurian would be forced to give UP his part on account of illness. Her bert Copple was planning to take the part of Joshua and give the part of Mr. Stebbins, the lawyer, to one of the alternate cast. This, however, was not necessitated, for Ted re covered sufficiently to go through with the play. A large attendance had been ex pected and the crowd present was es timated a full 1300 persons. The great success which accompa nied the giving of the play-was due In a large part to the efficient efforts ot Mrs Bess Whitcomb, professional coahc, under whose supervision it was staged. The business staff is also deserving cf much credit. The following stu dents held positions on this staff. Properties, Francis Wilson; stage manager, Bruno Korhonen; costume ' manager, Mary Davies; assistant cos tume manager, Geneva Gong; prompt er, Annie Runes; programmes, Helen Huber; head usher, Hazel Wilcox, Pearl Messner had charge of tickets and ticket sales. The excellent musical programme which was rendered before, between and after the acts was furnished by the Benson orchestra of 16 pieces. Teat the selections were very much enjoyed was evidenced by the amount of applause given them. The posters sent out to various places in the city, made under the di rection of Miss Muirden in her art classes, no doubt contributed greatly to the attendance. A 12:15 assembly Is "an antiquated affair at Commerce, bmce the De ginning of this term a study period has been placed between the second and third periods, and this time was reserved exclusively for study and assemblies. No assembly was held at any other time until this week, Tuesday last an assembly was called immediately before the noon hour. Regularity was again dis rupted Thursday, and periods juggled around once more. The main reason for this was the fact that both were class-play assemblies. It was there fore necessary for those having po sitions outside of school to make the assembly coincide as nearly as possi ble with their noontime. Hhe first of the assemblies was de ' voted to the showing of a skit select er. at random from the play. It was extemporaneously burlesqued, and was given as a rehearsal. Before the last gathering was 1 shown a finished skit, and, needless to say, this was considerably better ione than the first Irom a serious standpoint, It might be interesting to .know which of the June class attended the O. A. C. junior week end. A list fol laws: Lena Stufckle, Frances Wilson, Margaret Tyler, Annie Runes, Mar- Jcrie Smith, Donna Roblin, Harriet Wilson, Margaret Stark, Pearl Mess ner and Helen Zwingli. 4 The last meeting of the June class, Tuesday, was turned over exclusively to the class play, so that all details of arrangement might be complete at that time. All regular business was dispensed with. . Miss Nettie Mae Rankin's begin iters' occupation classes are busy get ting interviews. Each student is sup posedi to interview at least one work er In a particular line in which he h'm.self is Interested. This gives the members of her classes an opportu- city to meet actual' business workers end bring them in close contact w'th the advantages and disadvantages of different vocational positions. Among the students of Commerce who are now working are some who have extraordinarily fine positions. In. fact, all have good ones. It is un usual for graduates of any school to secure such excellent places at first, for they ail are lascking of one im portant element experience. Margery Blessing is working as stenographer in the O.-W. R. & N, company; Bernice Lewis has secured work with a firm of attorneys in the Title & Trust bunding; Maxine Mar tin has gone into the Finzer Furnl ture company; Abe Wax is acting as salesman for a printing establish nient and Mable Walker does steno graphic work for the Pacific Finance company. Some of these positions pay more ' than $100 per month, so it can easily b? seen that the business men of Portland realize the type of stenog raphers and bookkeepers which the High School of Commerce eendis out as graduates. Again a welcome, yet unwelcome, visitor has crept silently, aa if by magic, into our midst. "Mr. Greencard" made his appear ance Monday, and as usual created s'-.'j. Though the grades, which have been rising steadily for the last two quarters, still hold their heights, in most places there has been some blood-shed connected with the inva sion. These grades mean a great deal to the work-thirsty senior, for if his grades are not high enough he can r.ot go out and take a position until the end of the term. This is consid ered a great privation. To the fresh man, too, this means much. Exam inations are foreshadowed. Many pu pils quit school because of a failure to pass examinations in the first term. The sophomore and the jun- lor aloae do not eeem to care. The sophomore feels that he can fluff his teachers the Junior thinks he can order them. At last! The prizes for the busi ness English sales letter contest were awarded at an impromptu assembly Friday. The prizes, a mahogany night stand and a mahogany rocker, were donated by the Powers Furni ture company. Miss Margery Bless ing received a prize for writing a let ter setting forth the merits of the Powers pipeless furnace. James Wood, who wrote a letter urging the use of Powers' dignified credit, re ceived the other prize. Miss Blessiag has the added honor of having her letter sent to the ad vertising department, where It will probably be set to type and sent out in the regular course of business as a circular letter. At this assembly was awarded also a prize to Isadore Sholkoff. The prize was a large box of chocolate-coated, r.uts, given him for his selling abil ity. He sold more tickets to the vau deville than any other ticket seller in school. It has been whispered about that his huge stature had something to do with the sales; he may have resorted to coercion. Room 5 received the pennant for having the fcpst act on the vaudeville programme. Tri-Y Club Is Organized at Washington High.

THE Jefferson Latin club gave Its first annual banquet in the school cafeteria after school Thurs day, May ll. The room was dec orated with flowers 1n the manner of the old Roman feasts and the tables were in the form of a "U," ac cording to Latin custom. All of the members of the Latin club who were present wore the Roman togae, dec orated with the typical purple stripes, and garlands of flowers. Be sides the personnel of the Latin club there were - present several guests from the Jefferson faculty and rep resentatives from the various stu dent activities. Among the faculty present were Mr. Hopkid Jenkins, principal of the school, and Miss Campbell, Miss Rockefellow and Miss Elder, instructors in Latin.

Ferguson (Mrs. Anthony Euwer) gave a reading of the play "Green Stockings" at the Jefferson high auditorium on Friday night. May 12. Through Miss Fergu son's unusual technique the stage upon which she was reading the play seemed really peopled with the many characters of the play. The quaint plot of an English village girl who assumed to others that she really had a fiance when Bhe had been un able to obtain one. The supposed man turns out to be real and the two are finally married. Miss Ruby Page Ferguson is a sister of the late Maude Ferguson, a teacher at Jefferson who was killed in an auto accident recently. All of the money from the show is to be turned over to the Maude Ferguson memorial col lection of books, which is to be in the custody of the Jefferson high school library. All of the Jefferson student body assembled on the athletic field on last Thursday and formed the let ters "J. H. S." with solid banks of students, comprising 2000 pupils. The gymnasium pupils, garbed in white, outlined the letters, while the mul titude of students in their darker garb blocked out. the interior of the letters. The letters were laid out by Mr. Mangold of the manual training department, and Mr. Zane of the art department in 1 perspective, so that when viewed from the roof of the school building the letters appeared to be parallel, although In reality they were formed on lines radiating from a seat of observation on the roof of the school building. Motion pictures were taken of the forma tion and of various athletic drills by a professional photographer. Th prints of the film are to be distrib uted throughout the United States advertising the form o Portland schools In athletic drills. It is planned to give an exhibition of the film at Jefferson ana to iinance further movie shows with the pro ceeds. Jefferson held Its weekly assembly on last Monday. Before the regular opening exercises were carried through Mr. Jenkins gave an inspir lng address on patriotism In which he said that Americanism's greatest danger was derived from breaking ideals. He urged the students to keep the worth-while ideals and to keep them always in mind "Chin- chiniml" McCarthy, the student movie operator at Jefferson, next showed some Interesting educational films to the, gathering. The first film showed scenes of Washington, D. C, and the various historical points about the city, such as the death place or Lincoln, tne capitoi Washington monument, the homes of the foreign ambassadors and promt nent government buildings. The sec ond film showed the method used In raising chickens and the various commercial breeds. Although com paratlvely few of the students of Jefferson Intend to be farmers tni film was exceptionally Interesting to alL After the film the students, un der the direction of Mr. Ritchie, sang several popular songs, after which Martin Whigton, a prominent vocal soloist of the school, introduced new song to the students. The as semhly then concluded with an ad dress by Mr. Jenkins. Mr. Bosserman, vice-principal. called a special assembly last Tues day to give the students an opportu nlty to hear some operatic selections on the school s victroia. jyiany wen appreciated records were played in which the voices of famous artists were reproduced. These "Victroia assemblies" are very popular with the students and they form a part of the regular assembly schedule. Chief Mason ! of the Jefferson fire squad, called a fire drill last Wednesday In which the time re quired for exit was one minute ten seconds for the fourth consecutive time. Had not one room on the lower floor become confused for a 'few seconds the drill would . have been below a minute and would have established a record. The Jefferson school library has been presented with a set of 17 books dealing with the world war. The books are from the central pub lic library and are In the form of a permanent loan. There are books covering every phase of the war in this set, by all of the prominent writers. Some of the volumes take an editorial viewpoint and deal more with the moral side than of the his torical side, others tell of the life of ...nl. n n rf nnlHlArfl 1n th. V9P vntta. and others tell of the history. Jef - fersson appreciates this collection and the students are already begin- -nlng to use the books for reference. Thei workmen are putting the fin ishing touches on the new heating plant at Jefferson, and the structure is almost ready for use. The unit is located between the west wing of the building and the assembly hall. It is made of red brick, ornamented wlth white cement work to conform with the design of the rest of the building. A huge brick chimney, rising above he gables of the school, has been built beside the new addition. Jef fersonians are looking forward to the lme when the new heating plant wtu be in use, and the school cafeteria will occupy the present site of the boiler room. ' The Jefferson Camera club held its regular meeting on last Monday. Miss Jesse Skinne'r, the faculty advisor of the club, gave an interesting talk on photography to the club, upon how to take a really good picture. After Miss Skinners talk, the club com pleted the details of the pantomime which they plan to put on in the Live Wire vaudeville which has been scheduled for May 26 and 27. All of the details were settled by the club. and active work on the act is now under way. The Zeta Delta Sigma, the girls' debating eoeiety of Jefferson, held their regular weekly meeting on last Wednesday. The greater part of the meeting was taken up by a discus sion of the part the organization has chosen to play in the coming Live Wire vaudeville.

"Grad" of High School. BY ELOISE GRAY. w! ITH class yells and class colors encouraging the participants. the James John interclass track meet held In the Columbia stadium Thurs day afternoon, proved to be of its usual Interest, and provided keen competition for the classes in both boys' and girls' events. The schedule was conducted in a lively manner. and when the last whistle blew, the sixth termers were announced win ners, with the seventh, fourth and eighth termers following closely. C. C. Thomason, formerly a mem ber of the James John faculty, was a very welcome visitor at James John Thursday. During assembly period Mr. Thomason spoke to the students on the interesting subject, "Oppor tunity," illustrating his topic by exeprlences from his work in the army school." The James John students are re joicing over the fact that John Mc Gregor, a James John Graduate of the 1915 class, was recently elected student body president of the Uni versity of Oregon, to serve next year. John is, at" the present time, a junior at the University of Oregon. It is interesting to note that out of this graduating class of 1915, comprising eight students, two have won high honors in college activities, for Will iam Teutsch was, during his junior year, student body president of the Oregon Agricultural college. The Sodalitas Latena club prepared an elaborate programme for its month ly meeting, Friday evening, May 12. A delightful Roman banquet was the first number. During the feasting number of the Latin students danced, sang, and gave toasts to Caesars Ghost" and to the Latin students. A vocabulary contest fol lowed the symposium, and Dorothy Young was declared champion of the three who had "survived" the two pre. liminary contests. The executive board play, "The Return of Ulysses," was much enjoyed. Those in the cast included: Ulysses, Maynard Mlksch; Penelope, his wife, Marion Schlesser; Eumeas, the old shepherd, Eloise Grayr Minerva, Helen Borden; Tele- mechus, son of Ulysses, George Schles ser; Argus, the dog, Frederick Schultze; the three suitors for Pene lope's hand, Kathryn McChesney, Bertha South and Gerald Acklln.

It is the plan of the seniors to keep the cost of their costumes as low as possible. '.'Thoroughly delightful" describes the recent assembly when Mr. and Mrs. Hotchkiss Street, vocal teachers, entertained the students with a num ber of most enjoyable selections. Mrs. Street's songs Included: Prelude from "Cycle of Life," "Sylvia," "Love I Have Won You," "Chinese Mother Goose Jingles. Mr. Street delighted the students with "Tommy Lad," "Lovellght," "Fat Little Feller," "The Ringers," "What Not" Mr. and Mrs. Street closed their programme with a very cleverly presented duet, "The Singing Lesson." Mrs.' Barr accom panied the selections. The commercial geography stu dents visited the Portland Gas and Coke ' company plant Wednesday morning. Their observations proved most beneficial. The "Good Health' crusade was vig orously started last week to continue for a long time with the students. Posters, as milestones along the road to good health, lined the halls, and it is significant to note that they started at the cafeteria. Mrs. Hie stand's science classes deserve much credit for their services In making the "good health campaign" so decided a success. . Several delightful numbers were provided by James John girls at a meeting of the St. Johns W. C. T. U. Monday afternoon. The girls' glee club sang two delightful songs; Mary Harney played a piano solo, and Eloise Gray read Edwin Markham's "Lincoln the Man. Campaign speeches for student body officers for next term were many and spirited in assembly Tues day morning.
