HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
By Alice Anient
The usual number of students have
returned after the Christmas holi
days, and brilliantly colored ribbons,
socks and ties are being displayed.
The tour days of vacation following
Christmas day gave many a chance
to recover from the effects of too
much Christmas. However, there
was not the slight regret expressed
among the students, as "Christmas
comes but once a year."
Friday mornlnsf it was found that
some of the pipes tu the high school
building were burst, and, there was
quite a bit of water running around
loose on the stairways and floors.
While Superintendent Iniel was rush
ing the' plumbers to the scene, the
principal. Miss Bridges, was mopping
up the water where it seemed to be
the worst. The plumber smilingly
appeared on the scene, and the break
in the pipes was soon mended.
On New Year's day the students
came to high school, as usual, but
were dismissed early in the after
noon. This came as a surprise, and
the chance to go out into the clear
air and bright sunshine was greatly
appreciated.
The girls of the high school, under
the direction of Mrs. Gunnel), are
taking the fundamental steps In
aesthetic and gymnastic dancing.
The exercises are now being given
in the high school assembly room,
but when spring arrives, there will
be a field prepared outside, and they
will be taken there. The girls are
taking a lively interest in the work,
and the effect of their efforts are
showing already. These exercises
are very beneficial as well as fanci
ful, and will have an excellent and
lasting effect on the poise and car
riage of the participants. Mrs. Gan
nell is putting in her best efforts,
and this fact alone Is enough to in
sure the success of the drill.
The boys have lately been taking
their military drill under the direc
tion of Lieutenant Williams, and
have been getting it Just as it is
given at the army camps. The boys
are drilling with wooden guns now.
Not very dangerous, but effective
when it comes to drilling. Lieuten
ant Williams has been reviewing
them on the rudiments of military
drill, and has been emphasizing the
military bearing. Wig-wagging is
also being taken up.

A New Spirit of Good Will
Thanks to tho opportunity given It by the
War ItejMtrtmcnt, at home and abroad, a new
spirit of good will has grown up around Dodae
Brothers .Motor Car.
Wherever Holdicrs meet, this car Ih spoken
of in terms of admiration, and even affection.
, Soldiers grow to love the tools, and weap
ons, and implement, tliat serve them.
They admire, especially, the Inanimate
thing that shows grit, and endurance, in a
tight place.
That is American and that is tho Ameri
can soldier in particular and that is M,e mm
of glory being woven around Dodge Brothers
Motor Car.
There will always be associated with it, the
remembrance of tho work it did in the world
In army service on both sides, of the
ocean. '
, Thousands of American soldiers are com
ing back, now, from tho camps in America, and
tho battlefront In France, telling how well that
work was done. ..
False Report
It was rumored In this city today
that Gall Hamilton, son of Mr. and
Mrs. i. A. Hamilton, had died tit
Portland from pneumonia following
Influenza. However, a phone call
was sent from the Courier office this
afternoon to the Hamilton homo and
they assured the reporter that the
report was false. Gall has been
very ill, but Is reported murh better
today.
They are telling it to their futlicrs mid
mothers, their woi-Hhipping small brothers,
their sisters, their sweethearts and their friends.
It is the central figure in many a stirring
story told about the family fireplace.
To muny a wliite-hidred American mother,
it means something more as it goes by than
just a motor car.
She links it, somehow, with what her own
boy did, with what America did, and with what
America stands for.
Dodge Brothers lire proud that theirs was
the one car of its type and class chosen by the
War Department.
They, are prouder still that It lius been
taken into the hearts and homes of the Ameri
can people.
Tho old folks, and the little folks who
don't forget, are spreading a leaven of good
will which will endure for years to come.
Dodge Brothers cherish tills now spirit of
good will, width has come out of the world
war, as their most valued possession. 4
