Tha fal' season was recently opened with -a dinner, given at the home of the presiding officer. Admiral R. E. Hoover. The club colors, green and white, were S s&&&?t' P ? JflWjr ;V LB, Commission form of government has bean Inaugurated at James John, high school, along with second choice vot ing. These methods of government and election have been applied in the formation of the general student body organization, which is called "The As sociated Student Body of James John High SchooL" The constitution of this organization provides for a president, a council of five commissioners and three faculty advisors. The student officers are to be elected from the junior and senior classes. A "C" average is required of a major officer. The five departments are as follows: The literary depart ment, which has charge of tha boys' debating club, girls' literary society, Latin club and any other department clubs; the athletic department, which controls all lntraclkss and lnterscho lastlc athletics, Hyak Klatawa club and boys' hiking club; the two glee clubs and the orchestra are included in the music department; the public wel fare department consists of represen tatives of all classes, and will have charge of voting at all meetings, will look after school grounds, will flndJ employment for those students desir ing it, and look after the general wel fare and betterment of the school and the community the finance depart ment will be composed of the different class treasurers. They will decide upon the proper division of funds among the different departments. Election of officers hereafter shall take place the tenth school month of each year. Tho first and second choice voting is a system whereby three candidates are nominated and each student votes No. 1 after the name of his choice for the office and No. 2 after his tec end choice. This constitution will be subject to changes from time to tiajie. but itjis the foundation for a school organisa tion planned to help the students get the greatest bene! it out of their school life, and help the various societies act ln unity. Another new feature, tending for better school work, is the new and comprehensive system of awarding students honors. This Is called the honor society, and any student may become a member after having at tained. 15 points. The points must be secured from at least four different organizations, and are given for vari ous achievements. F. D. Curtis, who explained the plan, enumerated.the fol lowing as some of the methods for at taining points: President, or commis sioner of the student body; class pres ident; leads or business manager of a school play; editorial staff of the an nual school publication; member of athletic teams, or president of any one of the various school activities. In discussing the honor credit sys tem with tha students. Principal W. F. Fletcher said: "Of Course we all .know that good scholarship is the first hon or ln school, but there are other activ ities that are of great value. By this honor system we hope' to properly rec ognize the value of these activities. with seating capacity for 2500 people. As tha building will be fireproof, it Will probably be used tor community meetings, as well as high school as semblies. A large lunchroom and caf eteria will also be built in the build ing, as well as a room for bicycles and motorcycles. Last Saturday a number of the men interested in Franklin and several of the school boys got together and cleaned out all the brush and refuse ln the little grove Just west of the building. Lunch was tarnished by the women members of the Parent-Teacher association, and served at a neigh boring lunchroom, where hot coffee was made. . At the beginning of the third period every day sheets are printed in the of fice, and sent to each room, containing all notices up to date, and a list pt those tardy or absent for that day. In this way every student is accounted for, and It is almost" impossible to "skip' classes. In a short time a sim ilar sheet will be printed every noon, and eventually all notices will be han dled this way. A skate will be given October 20 at the Oaks rink Every one is invited to attend, and Invitations will be given out at the other high schools. The committee for this is: Wylie Doran, chairman; Mora Williams, Everett Barbur and Lois Tomlinson. Another ice cream sale was held last Thursday, netting $4.40.

Speakers in cluded: Principal Cleveland, several members of the faculty and RaymonJ Hill .editor of tha paper. A large number of instructors rep resented the faculty of Benson Poly- technio at the reception for teachers, reld at the Commercial club Friday, September 29. Tuesday evening, arter school a meeting was held for the purpose of obtaining recruits for the Tech band. A large number of boys werepresent, and the band will, no doubt, consist of not less than 40 members. The band is under the able leadership of C. S. Brereton, with Albert Miller as man ager. Work is progressing on the new Benson Polytechnic building, situated in the central east side district The first three units to go up include tha main, or administration, building and two shop buildings. A power bouse, with a steam plant for generating electricity, will also be erected. An athletic field is to be laid out. includ ing four tennis courts. Athletics at the "Tech" have been severely handi capped ln the past by the lack of a suitable field, and the new grounds will fill a long-felt desire for better athletics. The cornerstone of the new school will be laid in a few weeks, and will be the occasion of a rousing cele bration. No doubt the Benson Poly technic band will take a prominent part in the exercises. The first rehearsal of the glee elub was held last week. Several pieces of classical music are to be taken up and studied. The glee club hopes to take a prominent part ln the school activ ities this year. The club thua far con sists of 16 members, under the leader ship of Fred Strickland, with William Peck as librarian. Hawthorne. Miss II- E. Monroe, who teaches reading at Hawthorne, has found a new way of making her subject at tractive to her pupils. Last week, with the first frost, she had her pupils memorize Riley's well known little poem, "The Frost Is on the Punkin. and the Punkln's on the vine." Then she took her clasa to tha East Bide library, where each child was given something concerning Riley to read. The following day, however, each child told ln his own words the substance of what he had read. Each child above the sixth grade is required to read at least two books of biography two historical and two sci entific, during the term. Tha teacher keeps account of all the booka read, whether on the above subjects or not, and the child's opinion of each. 8ome pupils read as many as 25 books.

At the Round Timbers ranch, four miles north of Bellot, near Btockton. Cal., there is a woll which appeals to he dominated by "spooks. It whis tles continuously. Sometimes it sucks air, especially when a storm is ap proaching. The whistling well Is regarded as a phenomenon by those who havo beeu attracted to it. Round Timbers is a ranch of 8000 acres devoted largely to grazing, al though a part of it is farmed. "I bored that well five years ago," said E. E. Cady, superintendent of the ranch.
