- 13 - MUCH INTEREST III SCHOOL LIFE Washington High Wins at Ball as d Hopes for the Pennant. ' ,THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAU PORTLAND. SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 16. 1909. MAKES HIT IN DRUMMERS' PLAY if ' Br Edward C Garcia. Wu there aver such a ball cam! And Washington won! The splendid condition of the team at Friday's game clinched Washington's hopes (or the envied pennant,-and at' the nm time further encouraged up to treat defeat m mi impueaiuuiiy. The P. A. fellow are a strong aggre gation, showing up much better than either Columbia or our afflicted friend . across the river, Lincoln. Hut the re ' markabls bitching of Houck, and his ateady, reliable support, triumphed again, and now at last Washington high la to be a winner. Tuesday morning a committee from the East Side Booster clubs laid forth to the boys of the school the proposi tion of marching in the big east side Earade and singing the famous Portland ooster songs. The boys adopted the idea willingly, and if the same spirit Is shown at the arrival of the "Week; Beautiful." the Washington high school will be well represented, and Portland will be well advertised. The Phrenodlkens gave a short but Interesting program Friday. Ruthoriel Iong entertained the members with a humorous recitation, which roused much merriment. Very rarely. It seems, can the Phrenos' musical members be per suaded to exhibit their talent. Bo when Royala Loom is and Lilian Downing sang a duet, with mandolin accompaniment, the number was relished as an unusual trest. Carln Degermark contributed a humorous reading, a selection from "That Pup of Murehlnson'a." Anyone familiar with the style of the author of "Pigs Is Pigs," can Imagine the many laughs that punctuated the story. The debate, an Impromptu,was on the sub ject of hazing, and trie Judges upheld Grace Ooodal! in her argument that it should he abolished by law. Emma Chrlstman, as critic, commented on the program.

One of ths features In "Toodles In Holland." given by the "Knights of the Grip" Friday and Saturday nights at the Hellig, has been the work of Miss Sherma Dana, who took the part of Bessie, alias Lady Bountiful. Her stage appearance was pleasing and her lnter- firetatlon of her part accurate, yet en lvened by the touch of her own personality.
