High School Notes
(By Lelth Abbott.)
Juniors to Have Picnic.
The annual junior-senior reception,
-which has formerly been a prominent
feature in the graduation activities of
the senior class In Ashland high
school, has been postponed and in Its
place a monster picnic will be held
on May 18. Several of the valley's
largest passenger auto-trucks will be
chartered for the day and the picnic
wiH be held either at Wagner Springs,
Wagner creek or on Rogue river. The
picnic will be enjoyed by about 150
people, Including the members of the
Junior and senior classes, the faculty
and other Invited guests. This change
comes as a delightful one to the ma
jority of the students, because of the
work connected with the preparation
of the senior-junior banquets of the
past.
Dr. Jarvis Talk.
Di1,., G. O. Jarvis gave a most In
structive and entertaining talk be
fore the assembly Wednesday morn
ing. He talked on the more promi
nent faults of voting men and women,
particularly students; In their man
ner of standing nnd sitting, care of
the teeth, etc. He had several Inter
esting pictures which showed the de
fects caused by s'ttlng In a slouchy
position and the ;lack of standing In
an erect position. Care of the teeth,
yes, stomach and heart were also
touched upon in the course of his lec
ture. Senior Inventions Here,
The senior Invitations for com
mencement exercises are now on
hand. The Invitations are very novel
In design and are distinctively dif
ferent from the Invitations of the past
years. The cards bear an Impression
of the senior pin, the figures 1917,
and the lettering Is executed In
brown Ink', a Japanese style of letter
ing being used In the body of the In
vitation. Commencement Is now
planned for May 24 and will be held
In the armory building.
Classes Have High Jinks, '
The past week has been one of un
usual activity on the part of the
echool pedagogues because of A
marked tendency on the part of all
four classes to "cut up.' The sen'org
started It when they appeared Mon
day morning all arrayed In their class
colors, green and white. The Juniors
took It up and appeared Tuesday with
a "loud sox day." Wednesday was
perfume day for the sophomores, and
the freshmen had a loud tie day re
cently. The misguided Individuals
who appeared with unusual hosiery,
pink neckt'es and essence of onion
saturating their personages were
promptly sent homo and received an
unexcused absence for their pleasure.

Gifted Gus Lands
In Portland Jail
"Gifted Gus'" Levy, whose brltf
and colorful career In Ashland
amused the native more than any
thing which has happened for
months, landed In a Portland jail af
ter a couple of days in the Orego.i
metropolis. Levy came here from
San Francisco to take a job tickling
the Ivories at the Vlnlng theatre, but
divided his time between telling what
a good man he was, how much the
glf s loved him and how many Mason
degrees he had successfully sailed
through. Everybody with whom he
came In contact had the'r life made
a little brighter by the laughter
which his mountain of conceit engen
dered. Finally he offended the Ash
land spirit of some local booster and
lost two front teeth. He demanded
police protection and wanted an of
ficer detailed to accompany him
wherever he willed to roam over our
fair city. This proving Impractical,
he decided that other climes looked
fairer and left for Portland. The
rest of tho story may be gleaned from
the following narrative from the
Portland Oregonlan:
"When Tom Sweenes, city detect
ive, yesterdny asked G. H. Levy, peri
patetic musician from San Francisco,
why he did not join the army when
he found no work to do, Levy Is said
to have given utterance to this: 'I'm
too clever to Join the army.' That
was enough. Levy Is now In jail.
Levy appeared first at police head
quarters the day before yesterday
and asked if there were any Masons
In the station.- Motorcycle Morris
gave Levy the price of a meal. Yes
terday Levy went to the station again
and asked for more Masons. At de
tective headquarters a number of
Masons declared him to be an Impos
tor." Women May Work
in Hilt Mills
A rumor comes from Hilt that the
lumber camps of northern Callforn'a
are suffering from a labor shortage.
The HL't mill Is said to be consider
ing the employment of women and
girls to replace men on many of the
mill tasks which could be handled
just as efficiently by women.

Red Cross Needs
Every Ashlander
President Vllson says: "A .large,
well-organized and efficient ' Red
Cross Is essential. It is both a patri
otic and humano service that is ren
dered by every citizen who becomes
a member of the American Red
Cross."
Ex-President Roosevelt says: "I
hope that all tho patriotic and hu
mane men, women and children of
the Un'ted States who are able to do
so will give it (the Red Cross) their
support by becoming members of our
national organization."
Why Your Country Needs You as a
Member of the ISed Cross.
Do you know that as an American
you have the right to become a mem
ber of the Red Cross? That by the
payment of small annual dues, and a
little unnc'fish service, you can sup
port your government In Its humanlr
tarlan work? Membership Imposes
no obligation of personal service
either in time of war or peace. Com
paratively few persons can serve the
Red Cross in tho field, but everyone
can serve at home by becoming a
member, by getting his friends to
join and by spreading a knowledge
of the work, and by partlc'patlng In
the work of the local chapter.
Your help Is needed now, to sup
port Its field and base hospitals, Its
doctors and nurses, and to provide
the necessities of military and civil
Ian relief.
Your local lied Cross Is now mak
ing sheets, pt'low cases, pajamas,
nightshirts, bandages, etc. It Is all
simple work, but quantities are need
ed. We really need you. Your join
ing tho Red Cross does not obligate
you to anything. If you cannot spare
time to work, show your patriotism
by becoming a member, as your dol
lar will help In purchasing supplies.
Work days are Wednesday and Fri
day afternoons. Come either after
noon or both Classes are Tuesday
and Friday even'ngs, but entirely In
