THE Jefferson high school library receives weekly consignments of books from the central library and thus is able to present a continually new selection of books for the stu dents to choose from. The books are of varied subjects and are of in terest to every type of student. The latest addition of books from the main library includes: "The Harbor," by Poole; "The Nigger of the Nar cissus," by Conrad; Synge's "Play boy of the Western World," "Father and Son," by Gosse; Canfield's "The Bent Twig," "Literary Lapses" by Leacock, "Toilers of the Sea," by Hugo, and "Twenty Years After," by Dumas. Tne school library has also subscribed to several additional magazines. The department also maintains a news bulletin, upon which all items of interest are post ed. All of these items have com bined to make the school library one of the best places for study open to the students. A special meeting of the June, "23, class was called last Tuesday. Oc tober 17, to give the committees which had been appointed to com plete .the work of class organization an opportunity of making a report. The pins committee, appointed to arrange for the manufacture of the class pins, first reported that almost all of the money for emblems had been collected, and that the pins would be ready for distribution within a few weeks. .The class col ors committee, headed by Marie Schulderman, gave the next report and submitted an assortment of col or combinations as possibilities for the class colors. The colors were voted upon and coral and silver were chosen as the official class colors. Paul Clark, chairman of the "get-together-party" committee, then announced that the class dance would be held on the 6econd Friday In November, and that the commit tee was attempting to make the af-' fair the most successful senior dance that has ever been given at Jeffer son. The committees for the class flowers and the class motto an nounced that a suitable decision had not yet been reached, but that the choice of the committees for the class flowers and the class motto would be offered to the class at the next meeting. A boy and a girl from each senior room were then, appointed to serve as a scholarship committee in an effort to keep the class scholarship'to the highest pos sible mark. The meeting then closed with the discussion of various plans which have not yet been made public. The weekly assembly which was.ture. Only those fortunate in re- held at Jefferson last Monday was thoroughly enjoyed by both students and faculty. During the first part of the hour allotted for the assem-. bly a number of popular songs were sung by the students in several un usual combinations. "Sweet Peggy f O'Neil," a new song, was taught to the students by A. V. Ritchie. Under Mr. Ritchie's direction, the students first whistled the melody and then learned the words of .the song. After singing, Mr. Jenkins, principal, made a short address , to the students, in which he congratu lated them on winning the Jefferson-Benson football game, which was played on Thursday, October 12. Mr. Jenkins slosed by introducing Harris Stone of the local Young Men's Christian association. Mr. Stone then talked for a few mo ments upon Bible study as a high, school subject. The main reasons he cited-as incentives for Bible study were: First, it fulfilled the original purpose of the public schools, as he said that the Ameri can schools had oridinally been founded to. give children an oppor tunity to learn to read the Bible; second, that the Bible is the most popular of all books, because it has always been the best seller of any book ever published; third, there are tales in the Bible that are suit able to every age and generation; the fourth reason was that all the basic elements and emotions of mankind are contained in the Bible. Mr. Stone then closed his address by saying that the boys' Bible class of Jefferson meets every Tuesday afternoon in the North Portland li brary and he urged the boys to at tend, adding as an additional in ducement that there was no charge for textbooks or tuition in Bible study. Mr. Jenkins then closed the assembly by appreciating Mr. Stone's talk in a brief address. - - The Jefferson Spanish club has elected its new officers for the term at a recent meeting, as follows: President, Lawrence Armand; vice president.

The play is a modern three-act comedy entitled "Dulcy -It was written by Kaufman and Connelly in 1920, and has never been shown west of the Mississippi river. Dulcy is the" leading character and is acted by Aileen Burrows. Her husband, Gordon Smith, who In school is known as Clifford Zeh rung, is in the jewelry business and is trying to get into a merger with rar. romes (Harold Peterson), a wealthy jeweler. In order to se cure for her husband a larger per centage of the profits from the merger Dulcy invites Mr. and Mrs. Forees (Mildred Copenfafer) and their daughter Angela (Violet Faulkner) to spend the week-end with them. Incidentally, to. make tha time more pleasant, Dulcy also invites Schuyler Van Dyke (Melvin Stewart) and Vincent Leach (Rich ard Nance), a scenarist, to join them. Dulcy's motives are good, but she mixes social life with busi ness life and very nearly brings ruin to herself and to her husband. Other characters of the play are as follows: William Parker acts the part of March Muikey, who is Djil cy's brother. Ted Wagonblast acts the part of Thomas Sterrett; Blair Patterson takes the part of Mere dith Price, a lawyer, who comes in quite unexpectedly, and Henry, the butler, who in every-day life is known as Everett Marriott. .

Wilson, Commerce Vaudeville Is Great Success. Friday, 13th, Proves Opposite of Hoodoo When the Class Sells Candy 'Harad' Dresses Consid ered. BY ARDEN PANGBORN. THE main features of the January '23 class meeting, held on Tues day, was the excellent talk glvenJ to the class by Mr.-Elton, the prin cipal, commending the class on their efforts and success of the vaude ville which they sponsored. The elass wishes to take the op portunity to express its apprecia tion of the untiring efforts of the faculty, especially Miss Cornell and Miss Thompson, In selecting, coach ing and presenting the vaudeville acts. On Friday, the 13tlu the class held - a sale of home-made candy. Contrary to the fact that this day is supposed to be unlucky, they obtained successful results from the sale. The girls of the January '23 class are very much interested "at the present in the kind of dresses they are to wear for graduation. Miss Edna Aerni was appointed as a com mittee of one to ask Mrs. Wade, the dean, to address the girls on this subject at the next class meeting. - The sales lettef given here is an example of the work which, the business English classes are turn ing out. Copies of 4his letter, made by the office appliance department on the mimeograph, were circulated through the school Tuesday; to se cure Ledger subscriptions. "Dear Student: Unfortunately this school isn't located in the country? so we are deprived of the advan tages of a seven-party telephone ythat you can listen in on and hear all the scandal and news. But we have something that takes, its place. "It isn't the Hickville Gazette that never goes to print on time and always prints the news that you al ready know. It's the Ledger!( No, it's not one of those bookkeeping books; it's a magazine, and what's more, it's a good one. . "I'm not going to attempt to- tell you what you will find in it be cause I couldn't do it even if TTiad the time. But I will tell you this much: There isn't a line in it that ever- saw vprint before. The Ledger knows more gossip than any woman ever saw, and saying that is saying a lot. "News is the spice of life and we must know every little bit of it. You know how expensive women are; so when I tell you that a sub scription to the Ledger costs only 50 cents, I can see a smile of- hap piness come on your face, and I know that when you get your first copy of the Ledger, you and I will be friends for life. "I'll see you later in the Ledger. "Yours sincerely." Thisletter was written by Miss Doris Bowman, a member of the January class and a student of busi ness English 2. Results from its use 'were quite notable. , m m The Ledger staff meeting held during the study period Tuesday was an impromptu affair. The real purpose ,of calling it was. to ratify the acts and future plans of the ways and means committee. It was voted to turn some of the work which they had contemplated over to' the Rooters' club if that organ ization would accept it. The committee was given power to appoint sub-committees as it saw fit to take charge of the Ledger sales and activities. The ,staff will hold a sale of pumpkin pies and cider and doughnuts on Halloween day. Other sales of balloons, pen nants, pictures and pencils will be held during the term. " Owing to the fact that several members of the Hi Y could not at tend the meeting scheduled for Thursday evening because of vaude ville rehearsing, the meeting was postponed until next week. Plans are being laid by the Ledger stair ior a nara times party to be held in this building, probably the Saturday before Halloween. This will be one of the b'g events of the term and, judging from previous attairs or this kind, the lower hall will be so crowded that couples will have to 1 dance up and down the aisles of the registration rooms. Wednesday evening was marked by the absence of the Sorosls girls' meeting. This meeting was disposed of for the week on account of the 1'ir.st game of our fo,otbail season, that with James John. ... A rousing pep assembly was held Wednesday to create a livelier sale Front left, front row Toward Stanley, sergeant-at-arms Anna Youngr, honorary member. Rear row Donna of tickets for the James John game. Ruth Eeinburg, president of tne rooters, gave a short talk. Art Weinstein led some yells and Mr. Haroun led us in our old songs. The new ones have not yet been learned. Jazz caps and "Big C" booklets were also put on sale dur ing the day. " The organization of the June class was begun Thursday evening. For the past week those who are eligible have been handing their names into the office to have their credits looked up and approved. Temporary officers will probably be chosen at the next mgeting. Thursday was the occasion of a great rally assembly in honor of the triumph of the day before. - Harold Mangum, Isaac Davis and Walter Hutchinson, regular members of the squad, made short talks. Aspirants for the position of yell leader were tried out, those participating-in the contest being Clarence Wilson, Ar thur Weinstein and Harold Fergu son. It is planned to have at least two yell leaders all the time," for, as Mr. Elton expressed It, one might suddenly contract hydro phobia. The assembly was closed with some songs led by Mr. Haroun. "We came; we saw; we con quered!" Wednesday night our team might well have emulated Caesar and his immortal statement. Com merce defeated James John by a score of 18 to 7 In the most spec tacular game of the season. Foot ball dope was smashed to bits.' Next time the gamesters about town will think twice before they give 14 points against Commerce. The huge crowd, for which the Rooters' club was largely responsible, helped the boys a great deal. Not one substi tution was made during the entire four quarters a nonpareil feat In interscholastic circles. At the end of the first half the score was 7 to 0 In favor of James John, but soon after the beginning of the last half Commerce rallied and "Red" O'Donnell streaked across the goal line for 6 points. The ensuing kick was blocked and the. score not tied, but soon another touchdown by "Red" gave-us a five point lead.. By- the time of this touchdown both teams were fight ing their hardest. It remained for "Maggie" Mangum to make the final score. On the fourth down he bucked the line over right guard with about four yards to go. It was a great day for old Ireland. "Maggie" reports that this was the first touchdown he has made in his two years in ttte interscholastic league. However, it won't be. his last. The line played well and many times turned a stonewall defense against the line charge of the op posing team. The lineup was: Schneider, cen ter; Hutchinson, Caplan, guards; Langrall. Davis, tackles; - Watson, Low, ends; Cheney, Mangum, halves; O'Donnell, full:' Copple. quarter. These fellows made yardage nine times during the last half and held the Double-J bunch to one.
