AS THE EDITORS SEE IT
rannutonut:
With the Introduction or our new
system of pink slips wo huve heard
many complaints from the students,
many of whom have not properly un
derstood the system. The faculty
does not Intend to Introduce anything
that will work hardships upon any
students. Thcro have been, and
there may still be a few students who
Htuy away from school any time that
they think they have a slight sick
ness. To tho studonts who come to
school regularly and who do not take
little vacations, it does not seem fair
"that they should receive no more
credit for their work than the others
who do. Most ot tho students will
not bo affected by making up work
and thoso that do will soon bocome
used to it, If they take vacations
without any excuse they will soon
give up this practice and if It is im
perative thut they stay out they will
bo only too glad to make up their

London's First Theater.
It Is a little dillk'ult to realize that

flmo when nn order was passed by
parliament for tho compulsory clos

work and receive added credit.
The question has been asked:
"What will happen It I am out for a
week or more?" At first this seems
to work a hardship upon the unfor
tunate person, for ho would be re
quired to remain in the detention
room almost every night duflng the
remainder of tho term. In a case
like this, and also In other cases that
the teacher thinks that the student
knows the work, she may give him
special work to do, or she may ex.
cuse him altogether from this work
In other Bchools where this system
has been tried out it was found to
be a great success and the students
have all been in favor ot renewing it
oach semester.
Taking all that can be said
against this system and all that we
can think of for It, we are sure that
it Is a great improvement for the
school.
JOKES
The jokes In an annual are the
spice of the whole book. We want
this year's pilot to be enlivened by
several pages ot jokes of high school
affairs that you would like to remem
ber. The joke department of an an
nual la just what the Btudent care
to make It. They can contribute
Jokes, suggestions and anecdotes,
making It funny and interesting
Some have the Idea that the student
who has charge o' the jokes just
manufactures them at his leisure and
tho success ot the department is due
entirely to the said student. This
is wrong, for the ono who has the
joke department is not the author of
the jokes, but collects, arranges and
types them for publication.
For your convenience a Joke box
has been placed In the assembly on
the dictionary shelf by the stairs
leading to the balcony. When you
hear a comical remark or see an
amusing incident, please jot it down
and drop It Into the box. Let's
make our annual worth while in
every respect.

Absent Students
Must Make Up
For Lost. Work
A now system of allowing students
who have been absent from r-chool
to make up work has been Introduced
into the Bend high school by Mr.
Paulson, the principal.
Under this systeip any student who
presents an acceptable excuse to the
principal may be allowed to make
up any work he may have missed
while being absent from school. This
may be done after school In the de
tention room, or in any other way
thut the teacher may direct. -
GIRLS SERVE
DAINTY LUNCH
A delicious luncheon, was served
Friday noon In the domestic science
dining room by Miss Miller's ad
vanced third period class. A beau
tiful cjclamon held the center of the
tastefully decorated table. The place
cards were miniature American flags,
suggestive of Lincoln's birthday. The
dainty repast consisted of banana
salad, Lucanian egg, potatoes, bis
cuits, marshmallow pudding cake and
coffee. The guests were: Miss
Spoor, Miss Churchman, Miss Kenny
and Mrs. Sanders. Lola Whltmoro
acted as waitress.
The luncheon was the fourth of a
series being given by the domestic
science classes.
Modern Treasure Islands.
Situated In the Pacific ocean, nearly
midway between America and Asia, Is
Nauru, a barren bit of rock only
twelve miles In circumference. Thirty
or forty ' years ago almost anybody
could have had it for the asking. To
day it Is worth unlold millions, owing
to the belated discovery ibut the whole
island Is neither more nor less than a
mass of phosphate rock, soil fertilizer
well known to agriculturists. In Con
ception bay, Newfoundland, Is Bell
Island, sold by Its original owner
many years ago for $100. It changed
bonds again for $2,000,000. This enor
mous rise in value was due to the dis
covery that tbe Island is couiposed(nl
most entirely ot Iron ore. For years
previously shipmasters had been In
the habit of taking the heavy, easily
hagdled rock for ballast, dumping it
overboard with the utmost unconcern
when they loaded up with cargo. Then
one dny a captain more curious than
the others had the strange-looking
"rock" assayed and bis fortune
made.

American National Aii4i, Blograplii

dress Feature Morning As
senility of Student Body.
'- Friday at 11:30 o'plock an assem
bly was held to commemoraje Lin
coln's birthday, in which Edward
Brosterhous and Thomas Going were
the speakers. There was also sing
ing and yelling by the assembly.
The program opened with "Ameri
ca," led by Mrs. Travis and sung by
the school. Then Edward Broster
hous gave a biographical sketch of
Abraham Lincoln. He was followed
by Thomas Going who delivered Lin
coln's Gettysburg address. After
this the school sang. "Keep the Home
Fires Burning" and closed with "The
Star-Spangled Banner." The meet
ing was then turned over to the yell
leader.
In the biographical sketch Bros-
bous emphasized the greatness of
Lincoln and what he did for the
United States. He spoke ot the dif
ficulties Lincoln had to contend with
in bis career and of hia tragic death.
He also mentioned tbe Lincoln me
morial at Washington, D. C.
Going prefaced his speech with a
few introductory remarks aboot Lin
coln's literary works and ot how the
Gettysburg addriess was written. He
then repeated the address in a Terr
creditable manner.
Some difficulty was encountered in
singing "The Star-Spangled Banner,"
as the students did not know the
third verse, but the other verses were
sung creditably.
The school, led by Buell Orrell,
gave a few yells for the teams which
debated with Prineville.
Faka and Truth About the Aspen. ,
The aspen leaf Is said to quiver be
cause the cross of tbe crucifixion was
made of this wood. The fact is that
the leaf Is broad, and placed on a long
leaf-stock so flexible as scarcely to be
able to support It In an upright posi
tion. The upper part of tbe stalk ie
flattened, and. being at right angle
with the leaf, is peculiarly liable to
be moved by the faintest breath of
air.
Orlalnal "Limerick."
The word Is said to hare been
adopted as a name for a certain kind
of nonsense rhyme because an old
song current In Ireland, which had the
same verse construction, contained
the place name. "Limerick."
