Diversified Assembly Held Ses sion of Songs Meets With Splendid Response. - BY HARRY G. JOHNSON. JEPTERSON HIGH presented the first annual '"Exhibition Nights" last Friday and Saturday evenings, in the school building. Careful preparation tor the affair had been made by both the students and the faculty for several weeks prior to the show, and was responsible for the smoothness with which the various details of the exhibitipn were conducted. The responsibility tor the show had been distributed among the student body and the faculty so that practically all had a part in the exhibition. Every de partment of the school was repre sented by a large number of ex hibits. The work of decorating the building for the occasion wag taken over by the Latin and the Spanish clubs. Members of those organiza tions artistically decorated the halls in Christmas greens. The exhibits of the science de partments proved to be the most en tertaining to the visitors. The chemistry division conducted experi ments throughout both evenings an these claimed much of the visitors' attention. The physics exhibit in cluded a radio set and many un usual demonstrations with elec tricity. The general science de partment had a scientific exhibit of general interest. Included in the of fering of this branch were models of geysers, a static electric ma chine and interesting information concerning noted places of beauty of the world. The botany and biology departments maintained interesting exhibits illustrating the various phases of plant and animal life. All of these departments had showings of the classwork of the students of the respective branches. The language divisions also had interesting showings in their dif ferent departments. The Latin de partment showed, in addition to the regular exhibits of classroom work, a miniature of the Roman forum and models of the ancient machines of war. There was also a set of pictures and dolls shown by the Latin department which compared the Roman military uniforms to those of the present day. The French department had many offer ings, among which were a number of French songs sung by costumed French students. The English de partment had interesting exhibits of classroom work and classes were in progress throughout both evenings. The Spanish division had interesting eho wings of classroom work also. The art department was another preat attraction at the show. Among the exhibits of this department were showings of landscape and object painting and drawing, besides-posters on various subjects. Items of jewelry and metalwork were also displayed and various articles made by students of this division were of fered for sale to visitors. Elaborate displays of stifdent work were also made by the history and mathematics departments. The manual training and mechani cal drawing departments har stu dents at work and showed visitors how articles are designed in the mechanical drawing department and then made in the manual training shop. The manual training shop of fered candlesticks for sale to vis itors. The domestic science class served light lunches, cooked by students, to the visitors. This department also had exhibits of model meals of various types and displays of va rious cooked foods. Some of the food on exhibition was also sold. The commercial departments were another attraction. Demonstrations of speed in typing and shorthand writing were given by students and there were also displays of class room work done by the students. The oral English class presented a short skit in the school auditorium, entitled, "Two Lunatics," a 15-min-ute farce which provoked many laughs from the audience. The "exhibition" nights were well attended and visitors thronged the echool from 7 P. M., the opening time, until 11 P. M., the closing hour. General admission was 25 cents. Ail of the proceeds of the show are to go to the general school fund which finances all non-support ing student activities such as the band and the" orchestra, A part of the fund is also to be used in pur chasing pictures for the school. Mr. Jenkins and all those concerned with the show declared that the exhibi tion had been a great financial suc cess. A diversified assembly was held at Jefferson last Monday. After the students had sung a few songs, Mr. Jenklng Introduced Mrs. Moore, who then rendered a number of songs, which took well with the students. Especial favorites she sang were "Laddie and I Pass by Your Win dow." Admiral Mayo gave an in teresting talk to the assembly, in which he showed how closely good citizenship is linked with education. He also told of the need of a navy in peace time and why the United States navy should not be allowed to deteriorate. An interesting phase of his talk was a description of an American battleship. Mr. Jenkins, the principal, then thanked Admiral Mayo and closed the assembly. Basketball Is Featured at Benson Tech. Second Senson off IntercliiMK or Shop (Sanies Troves Great Suc cess. BY KENNETH RAUCH. DURING the past week Harry Craig, Benson basketball coach, staged in the school gymnasium his second successful season of the in terelass or shop basketball leae-uo In this tournament every shop was represented. The rules stated that any team losing two games would be automatically eliminated from contesting for the championship nonors. i ne cr.ier reason for hold ing the tournament was practically a preliminary practice, so that no time will be lost when actual prac ticing starts in determining the memberships of the first squad. If was also to create a little friendly rivalry between the shops. Each &iop has one team except the elec tric and machine. Both of these, due to the large enrollment, have two teams each. A goodly number of the print-shop students have taken advantage of the privilege extended to them to print, in the shop, Christmas greet ing cards of their own design and for their own use. Some very ex cellent and original verses have been composed by the more adept stu dents. The regular Camera club meeting for November 27 was postponed in order to allow the members to pre pare for the club hike to Lost lake via Wahtum lake during the Thanksgiving holidays. On Thanks giving day the boys hiked from the highway at Eagle creek to Wahtum lake, where they spent the night in the scout cabin. After taking a few pictures on Friday morning they started for Lost lake over the new trail, which is approximately 11 miles long. At Lost lake they were met by Mr. Parcher, the club ad viser, who had arrived a short time before, having driven and hiked from Dee, Or. The party spent Fri day night in the new cabin and journeyed back to Portland on Sat urday afternoon via Dee. Saturday morning was utilized in hiking around the lake, chiefly for the pur pose of securing snapshots of the surrounding scenery. The boys re port that Wahtum lake is sealed up with about two inches of ice, while at Lost lake the snow -is two feet deep. A great maiu fine winter scenes were ph to graphed. Those making the trip were as follows: Leslie Lloyd, Malcolm Stuart, Rich ard Newton, Alfred Jones, E. Som mers and Mr. Parcher. Washington Letter Men Have New Caps.

SOLICITING for advertisements has been carried on rapidly by the third-term class. Each girl is required to secure at least one ad for the January issue of the "Poly technic Maid," although some of the girls have secured many more. A short bit from "Green Stock ings" was enacted by the cast Mon day afternoon. It aroused a great deal of curiosity and interest, but all curiosity was satisfied Wednesday night. The play was a great suc cess, the girls acquitting them selves very creditably. Plum pudding and mincemeat were made by the cooking classes for Thanksgiving day. The classes have now started their Christmas fruit cakes, which will be put away to ripen until the holiday. Next week the candies are to be made. On Wednesday the classes made candy for sale at the play. Nightgowns were paraded by the freshies tfce day before Thanksgiv ing. The other sewing classes were invited to room 9. There they found a great many attractive night dresses, kimonos and pajamas ex hibited on live models. The spec tators appreciated the parade, as they received many valuable sug gestions for Christmas gifts. Lessons in bread making have been set forward in order that the first - term bread - making classes might finish in time to enter The Oregonian bread contest. The stu dents feel that the lessons are more than worth while, even if none of the pupils win first place. In these days of baker's bread, home-made bread is a real treat. Flowers and fruit of Batin. metal cloth and ribbons are being made in the home millinery classes. This is a very essential part of hat mak ing, as it i3 the individual touch which makes the hat look chic Voile and crepe blouses have been displayed in the lower hall. They nre made bv the second - term classes. The most popular style seems to be the Russian blouse, smocked with contrasting colors. These blouses are very inexpensive, ranging from 85 cents to J2.38. Of course, it is hard work that gives the air of brightness and style and it is also hard work which makes the blouses offered in the stores at) three, times, the price.

In which all parts are takes by league members except the role of Horace in "'Op o" Me Thumb,' which is played by Irving- Brown. "The Land of Heart's Desire," the Junior leag-ue play, is an Irish folic play, centering around Shawn Bridget Bruin and his dreamy little, wife, Maire. Maire Bruin is played by Eleanor Whitford, who interprets well the part of the fanciful young girl who is so unlike the common place peasant folk. Sylvia Seymour plays the part of Shawn, the hus band, and does the difficult mascu line role admirably; Alice Hough ton as Bridget Bruin, and Eunice Daniels as M-aurteen Bruin, the par ents, present fine character parts. Louise Schosser plays the part of the priest, Father Hart, very well. A lovely fairy child is Ethelwynn Kelly, who adds grace and charm to the play. " 'Op o' Me Thumb," the famous play in which Maude Adams won fame, was undertaken by the Senior league and, though it is very much of an undertaking- for amateurs, it is expected to fulfill the highest expectations of those responsible for SERVICES IN (Continued From Pare 6.) with the church at Valdez.

Mary Murray plays the title role of little Amanda, nick-named " 'Op o' Me Thumb," and displays exceptional talent in the mixed humor and pathos of her part. Irving Brown as the unsuspecting hero of Amanda's dreams, '"Orace," Is also fine, and plays the part with great earnestness. The roles of Celeste, Mrs. Galloway, Rose and Madam, the proprietress, are all dif ficult character parts, but are well played by Beatrice Brummels, Edna May Root, Helen Root and Emma Calourd, respectively. The scene is laid in a laundry in the slum dis trict of London, and Amanda, the poor, homely little dreamer, tells wonderful tales of the great splen dor in her life to the other laundry workers. An uncalled-for shirt plays an important part, for when- the owner comes at last to claim it the story is revealed to him by Amanda in which he is the hero of her dreams and tales. Both plays are well worth while, and a large audience is expected to attend the performance, as it may only be g-iven once. The orchestra will play and Anna Young will give a group of soprano solos between the plays. Helen Trent, Anna Young and Avis Nelson are in. charge of prop erties.

"The Murder of Souls" will be tbe Commerce Class Play Is Big Success. "Jnners" W1H "Climb, Thong the Rocks Be Hugeed" Root er. Will Meet. BY ARDEN PANGBORN. "XTOTHING BUT THE TRUTH" ATI now is history, it is gone, dui In memory It will linger for many weeks. Thie play, produced under the direction of the January class, was one of the great successes of Commerce talent, among which rank The Tailor Made Man and the re cent vaudeville. It was a screaming tarce, with lines full of repartee and humor from beginning to end. The plot had to do with the efforts of Robert Bennett (Edmond Mor- ie!l) to tell "nothing but the truth" for 24 hours, after having made a bet with E. M. Ralston (Herbert Copple), Reggie Van Dusen CIsaac Davis), and Dick Donnelly (Arden Pangborn), that he could. The fact that the money did not belong to h'm, and that he would have to re place it if he lost it, made the play still more amusing. Of course he was forced to tell Ethel Clark (Jennlvee Martin), leader of the summer col- only, what he thought of her -voice and her hat. About this time two tough" girls, Mable and Sable Jackson (Lucille Wright and Mildred Jones), both friends of Dick, appear on the scene, and provide more fun by breaking up the happy married life of E. M. Ralston and Mrs. Rals ton (Karola Bockenfeld). Of course Bob with his truth-telling helped create the misunderstanding. Al though the boys put every obstacle in Bob s way he triumphed in the end, won the $10,0-00-bet, and turned the proceeds over to the charity fund led by Gwendolyn Ralston (Doris Bowman). ' The estrangement which occurred between the two over the trouble between Mr. and Mrs. Rals ton, is bridged over by a number of lies on the part of Bob. The bishop (Roy Petterson), -was one of the most comical of the characters. His methods of raising- money for the charity fund sent the audience into roars of laughter. Fannie Stoler, as Martha, played the part of the maid. The play was presented before a full house last Friday evening, after five weeks of earnest rehearsal. A share of the success goes to the business management and the help of those outside the play. The offi cers who did their best to help the play along are: Arthur Weinstein, business manager; Dorothy Morris, property manager: Harold Man gum, stage manager; Jack Lang rell, Arthur Weinstein, assistants; Frieda Naimark, ticket manager. The music which entertained be fore, between and after the acts was furnished by the Commerce orches tra, under direction of Miss Gertrude Hoebler. The fact that the music pleased the audience was well dem onstrated by the amount of applause. Within a few weeks Miss Hoebler has done wonders with the orches tra and the result showed splendidly la this, their second appearance. No doubt the greatest amount of credit should go to the coach, Miss Newell, whose untiring efforts tin doubtedly "made" the play. "All kinds and makes of home made cakes" were dispensed at i Beta Sorosis sale last Friday. Al though numerous sales have been given in the recent past, results were far from discouraging. Com merce's sweet tooth never seems to athe. Commercial students voted the as sembly Monday morning as one of the most interesting of its type that has been given this term.
