I GRANTS PASS HIGH SCHOOL NEWS
On Friday night, January 25, the
A. A. C. and the Grants Pass High
School played the first Banket ball
game of the season at the A. A. C.
hall It resulted, after 40 minutes
of hard work, in a glorious victory
of 8 to 3. in favor of the High School.
The Girls' Basket Ball team is
plauning for a series of games with
Aahla'id normal, the first of which
will probably be played in a few
week. This will be their first match
game.
During the past week the Fresh
men and Sophomores held their class
meeting for the purpose of electing
their clans editor for our High School
Paper. These meetings resalted in
Marion Clarke being elected by the
Freshmen and Detune Cole by the
Sophomores.
A practice debate will be held in
the High School Assembly Room,
Friday afternoon on the question,
"Resolved, That the l.'ith amendment
to the constitution should be re
pealed." The same subject 00 which
oar High School Debating team will
debate with Roseburg on February 8.
It will be held to as to give the team
practice in speaking also to obtain
arguments which might lie used by
Roseburg in the final. It will also
give the team a better understand
ing of the subject. It will be
affirmed by Bessie Leith, Amy Isaac,
Henry Norton, and denied by Herbert
Gilkey, Harold O'Neill and Rau
dall Hood.
For Scientific leoos on the violiu
applv to R R. Turner. Instructor
in Physics. Phone 643.
The Freshmen class of 1910, so far
has proven itseif superiorto any of the
preceeding classes. If yon doubt it,
ask anyone of our teacher and they
will toll you, one and all, that we are
wonders. For the ability to grasp
and absorb knowledge, it would be
hard to surpass us. The Sophomore
olaaa, whloh, if they will kindly re
member, were Freshmen lust year
themselves, are inclined to think they
are able to outshine us in wisdom.
But when we are Sophomores, we
will be as renowned as we are as
Freshmen and as they are unknown.
By Fresh ie.
All thoie who attended the recital
of our talented schoolmate, Aluia
Wolke, greatly enjoyed the rare treat
which she offered them. She has a
strong touch and playa with a great
deal of expression and understanding.
We predict for her a sooceasfal musi
cal career. She will undontedly
become one of the noted artists of the
day.
All the match games played by the
Grants Pa a Basket Rail Team will
probably lie won by it, owing to the
fact that some of the Freshmen who
are excellent players are among its
members. They are the ones who
will do the winniug.

The second year Euglub class never
realized the length of a poem until :
they began to rueasore LoDgfellow'i
Evangeline by the foot.
If you do uot exactly like the text
book in stenography now in use in
our High School, !just wait until
Fritz Dean ha completed the one he;
baa in contemplation. Doubtless it
will be the one ufed by all the first
class stenographers I efore long. 1
The Botany class has been gardening
the past week. Their turnips are
doing fine, but their lettuce, beans
and potatoes have not yet showu
any signs of life. However the
stupiduess on the rart of the potato
seem due to an external cause.
When the botany class plaoed the
potato iu the water, they did not
realize what a temptation it would be ,
to the passers by. But ome student,
iaboriog under an overwhelming ap
petite, was unable to resist the great
temptation and so hindered the growth
of our potato by taking a good sized
bite from the top. The culprit is still
at large but the botany class is on the
lookout. Beware! Don't eat the
next potato.
The Basket Ball girl desire to have
it known that not on account of their
noise, as was announced last week,
bat on account of the disturbance
made by the Boys of the Boys team,
tiiey were compelled to move to the
A. A. C. building. For we all know
that the stronger sex is the noisier.
Curious how Adam's example effects
even our High schoolboys
We are glad to report that Gladys
Archer has fully recovered from a
severe attack of pneomouia and is
again iu school.
The Freshmen regret to say that
they have lost from their Latin class
two of their students, whom they all
miss deeply. Luckily it was not the
oue boy.
The Fourth year Arithmetic class
would appreciate the gift of an add
ing machine.
The impulse to help a friend In
trouble is certainly a very praise
worthy one. However, it might be
well to advise some members of the
Stenography class to cultivate a low j
and gentle voice, before they act on
the impulse in recitation time. A
friend has come to see Miss B. She '
says that it is the most important'
thing that has happened to her for a ,
long time.
Free-concerts are given each morn
ing by Prof. Turner. Somtimes it is
00 the violin, other times it is on the
guitar, mandolin, or banjo in fact
just anything if you can atretch your
imagination to make it found like it.
He will, however, geuerally tell you
before he begins, what he intends to
play so you will not think you are
litteuiug to a violin when it is only a
three-stringed banjo.
