Commerce High Arranges Vaudeville Schedule. Class Pins May Be Set With Pearls Ledsrer Staff Maps Out Term Activities. BY ARDEN PANGBORN. AT THE January class meeting Tuesday the question of class pins, although it was thought to have been decided upon, was again raised. After a few minutes of very heated discussion it was decided that the pin shoula be plain gold and that those who wanted it set with pearl could so order them. The class decided that they as customary would sponsor the Com merce vaudeville. A committee was appointed to take charge. It con sists of Alta Semenza, Grace Cole and Mildred Bredenbeck. Unlike our other vaudeville, each room will not produce an act the best of which are chosen, but Miss Cornell and the committee will work out a pro gramme and the parts will be as signed to various members of the school. The date decided on was Friday October 13. Although this is supposed to be unlucky on a double count the January class is going to make this a great success. The class is also trying to secure a coach for the class play. The ways and means committee of the Ledger is now making out a calendar of activities embracing the whole term. This schedule in cludes socials various kinds of sales and numerous other activities. The Silver Pencil Literary club meeting was held Friday. A num ber of original contributions were read. Doubtless some of this work will subsequently appear in" the Ledger, although a great deal of material is secured from other sources. The first sales of the term were held by the sorosis girls. Alpha and Beta sorosis, clubs held sales in quick succession. The former made a good profit selling ,ice cream sandwiches while the latter dealt in pies and cakes. These clubs seem to show greater activity than all others in the school. The Hi Y club met in the library during the noon hour Wednesday to select a suitable list of candidates for membership in the club. The names were handed to Mr. Elton for his approval. Final voting took place at the regular meeting Thursday. A game with a final score .of 24 to 12 in favor of Commerce was played against Milwaukie Friday.

At the beginning of the fourth quaife Copple caught the kickoff behind the Commerce goal line, and, guarded by Thompson and Ronner, made a sensational run the entire length of the field for a touchdown. Our second practice game was played with St. Helens yesterday. This is the only game yet in sight. The proposed contest with Hillsboro, expected to take place last Wednes day, did not materialize, because of the hard ground on the Hillsboro field. A TOoters club Is being organized.

Mrs. Tate gave a talk about the Bible course which is offered as an elective subject to high school stu- j-dents by the Young Women's Chris tian association ana me iuuiik Men's Christian association. one class near each high school for the boys n-rd girls respectively. She said that over 3600 students had al ready studied the Bible in this man ner, each student receiving one credit for the completion of one term's work in the Old Testament, and one credit for the finish of a term's work in the New Testament, all credits counting toward gradu ation of the student just as a credit received for the completion of any high school study. Mrs. Tate closed by saying that Jefferson had al ways bad the largest Bible classes of any high school in Portland, and expressed the wish that it remain so. The Bible classes meet every Monday afternoon immediately after school in the North Portland public library. Mr, Jenkins then introduced Mr. McCamant as the official speaker of the constitution day assembly. In the first part of his address Mr. McCamant enumerated the weak nesses of the articles of confedera tion, and declared that, the main reason for the success of the consti tution of the United States lay in the fact that 65 of the greatest American .statesmen had placed their character in the document, among the men being Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Al exander Hamilton and John Mar shall. He told how John Marshall was the father of the American judicial system, and of the cracking of the Liberty bell in 1835 as it tolled at Marshall's funeral. Mr. McCamant closed his address by demonstrating how the civil war was a test of the constitution, and that, having passed such a test, the constitution will stand to the end of time. Tho assembly closed with the singing of the last verse of "Amer ica." A The Jefferson fire squad is to play an important part in the fire pre vention parade, which is to be held Saturday, October 14. Harry Hem mings, fire chief, and his assistant, Ralph Staley, are working out an appropriate float to be placed as Jefferson's representative In the pa rade. Details of the float have not been given out. The semi-annual examinations for new members of the fire squad were held during the latter part of last week. Whenever new members are taken on the squad they must first pass an ex amination showing that they know the duties of members, the locations of lines of hose and general neces sary Information of fighting fire. One of the most interesting as semblies that has been held at Jef ferson for some time was held last Motday. After the students had sung a few songs under the leader ship of Mr. Ritchie. Mr. Jenkins in troduced Mr. Morgan, formerly a major in the United States army, and a veteran of both the world war and the Spanish war. Mr. Mor gan gave an inspiring address about the wood's need for higher educa tion, citing as his authority many instances which he had witnessed while serving in the army. Ambi tion, he said, was the most funda mental thing in gaining success and the ambition must be alwav kept in view for a successful finish. The programme of Jefferson's gridiron batttles for the fall has been announced, and the dates and contestants of the games are as follows: October 12, Jefferson vs. Benson: October 19, Jefferson vs. Lincoln; October 26, Jefferson vs. James John; November 2. Jefferson vs. Commerce; November 10, Jeffer son vs. Franklin; November 22. Jef ferson vs. Washington, The Jeffer son team is rapidly coming into form with dally practice under the direction of Coach E. F. Ackley and is expected to make a good showing. Jefferson held an assembly on last Wednesday to give the students an opportunity to sing together and learn a new song. William O'Brien. a new student of Jefferson, acted as pianist. The occasion was util ized for the learning of two popu lar songs by the students. "Three o'clock in the Morning" and "Mis sissippi Moon." The students sang both melodies In various pleasing combinations. Mr. Jenkins, princi pal, then made ah address, in which he commended the students for the spirit with which they have taken up the work of the fall term. He named the extensive improvements which the school board has made at the school during the summer, stressing most prominently the new cafeteria of the school, which now is one of the best of its kind in the west. Mr. Jenkins said that the main Inducements for -students to eat their lunches in the school estab lishment were, first, loyalty to school, and the expression nf mnr.. elation for such an eating place by patronizing it; secondly, the food ervea in tne catetena is carefully prepared by regular cooks in the most sanitary and modern manner possible; the third point was that the food was served to the students at a rock-bottom price, there being no profit from the establishment. Mr. Jenkins next said that he had received reports that dances ; are being given by private means in various clubs and hotels under the name of high school functions. He said that no dances were sponsored by the high school unless they were given within the school, and that tajcing the name of a high school to title a private dance was legally and morally wrong. He closed his address by telling how the colleges had raised their entrance require ments, and that each year a higher high school average was becoming necessary for entrance into college. The students then repaired to their registration rooms. The candidates for associate edi tor of the Spectrum. Jefferson's of ficial monthly publication, have been announced as Elizabeth Blm rose and Idamae Schloth. The elec tion is to be held on next Tuesday October 12. The student elected associate editor serves one term in that capacity, and then automati cally becomes editor-in-chief upon the beginning of the next term. The PI Delta Epsllon, a boyn de bating society, has actively started Its fall term's work. The officers of the club are: President, Paul Clark; vice-president. Philip Lively; secretary, Frank Kenln; treasurer, Lawrence Armand; sergeant-at-arms, Harold Hutchinson. Several new members have been taken into j the club, the new members being Joe Roberts.
