The preliminary contest, to select
a student to represent 0 . S. N. S.
at the state Oratorical contest, will
be held at the chapel hour on Fri­
day morning, January 27.

lows:
The Individual, the Unit of Civil­
ization-Hazel Harris
Education for Peace—Frances Blake
New Educators for Old—Mrs.
Ethel McAdoo
The Preservation of White Suprem­
acy—John Dickson
All have worked industriously
gathering and organizing material
and rehearsing the completed com­
position, so that while only one will
win the co\eted place, every con­
testant has gained valuable training
through his effort. The public is
invited to the chapel hour on Friday
to listen to the chapel contest.
The literary societies held their
initiations on Monday evening in the
gymnasium. Each organization
now has 177 members, a fact which
necessitates careful planning to give
everyone a chance to appear on a
program.
Mr. William J. Johnson, official
representative of the Board of Tem­
perance and Moral Welfare, will
speak at the chapel hour on next
Tuesday. Townspeople are wel­
come to this speech.
Mr. W. G. Beattie spoke to the
students at the chapel hour on
Thursday on the organization and
work of the United States Bureau
of Education. Mr Beattie was
formerly in governmental education­
al work in Alaska and gave a most
interesting talk.
Miss Helen Michaelson attended
the meeting in Salem last Saturday
of the executive committee of the
State Oratorical League. Miss
Michaelson is the O. N. S. repre­
sentative in that body.
The Delphians will give their re­
gular monthly program in the
chapel Friday evening, January 27,
beginning at 7:30 o’clock. The pro­
gram will represent various de­
partments of “The Delineator” in
a unique and entertaining way. The
public is cordially invited to this
program. It will begin very prompt
ly at 7:30 as a basketball game is
to be plajed in the gymnasium
by the high school at 8:30.
A motion picture entitled "Bob
Hampton of Placer’, will be shown
in the chapel on Saturday evening,
January 28. This picture is made
from a novel by Randall Parrish, a
fact which is in itself a recommen­
dation, and has an interesting plot,
full of action.
The Vespertine society put on
the first program of the term, cov­
ering French art, literature, music
and drama. Miss Helen Michael­
son sang a group of French songs,
one being, “ The Rosary” in French,
an original sketch of French life
and art was given by a group of
girls. Also a one act play "Rosalie
by Max Maurey, was staged by
Dorothy Ward, Jane Gunn, and
Nell Warner.

A company of congenial friends
dropped in on Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

their dinners along. They dined to­

a prominent place, it being featur­

The Commercial Club adopted a
resolution protesting against the
classification of the West Side high­
way as a secondary highway and
^ent it to the State Highway com­
mission.
Similar resolutions are being sent
from other towns situated along
the West Side highway, McMinn­
ville being the leader in this move­
ment. The Highway Commission
must make its re|>ort to the Feder­
al Government before February 11,
therefore it is important that all
possible he done to further the in­
terests of the West Side Highway
before that time.
Governor Olcott is a consistent
booster of the idea that the scenic
beauties of Oregon must be pre­
served. Recently civic bodies of
Polk eounty have received commun­
ications from him urging action in
recommending ,for appointment a
