IN ATHENA'S SCHOOLS New Courses Offered in High School DepartmentDebate Teams Selected for Contest. Dmiug the pant week the students of ti e High school have been bqsily studying and making pipaiatioos tot the Hi el. mid-veer examinations ever given in the school and as a result they have aroused union interest among the studeot body. The; will oomraeuoe at 8 o'uloak oo Wednesday morning January 10, the Remeeter ending oo the 12th. Among the new coutses offered to the high sohnol stu dents next semester are: Civics, Mod ern History, Botany, and Current Lit eatnre, History and Vocational course, the latter which will be a olass of rend ing and making reports. This course will be taught by Mr. Kussell and promises In be voiy interesting. In the ttyout for the debate teams held in the high sobool auditorium Friday, Dec. 22, 1916, Homy Koepke and Zola Keen were obosen to delate on the affirmative tide of the question and Edna MoAlexander and Florence MoLennan were picked Cor the neg ative. The negative will debate in Milton January 10. the affirmative xpeoted to debate tbe I'endletcn high aohool team in the local auditorium on the same date, but learned by Tues day's East Oregenian that tbey had dropped ont of the debating league. With Peudletou'a withdrawal, only Athena and Milton are lelt in this end of tbe county, and they will have but one debate. The winner will then meet tbe winning team of the other end of the ooanty. Pendleton's excuse for dropping out is that tbe members of the debate teams would gtaduate at tsis neonate! and also that tbey oould uot get suitable material to work on the question. Considerable com ment is being made by other schools oonoermng tbeir belated decision, as tbey bad identically the same miter ill as the test of the league. The Atheuti High basket ball teams lost two games when they olastied in a double-header contest with the Pen dleton teams Deo. 22, the girls losing 39 to ? and the boys 28 tc 27. Tbe Athena gills, though the; fought gamely, were ontolaiaed and had no obanoe to win. But from the stand point of good basket ball, tbe Pendle ton boys' team was outplayed fiom start to finish. Tbe locals were out weighed and, as the 15 fouls oalled on the visitors to tbe nine on Athena plainly indioate, outioughed. Athena lost through inability io oonveit fouls ioto points. The Waitsburg boys defeated Athena in the looal gym. Deo. 29 by the score of 52-25. The Atbeoa boys showed lack of practice through tbeir passing and were easily smpassen by the fast Waitsburg quintet. Tbe Hollev bro thers were tbe Waitsburg stars, flo uring 43 points, while Boober started fur tbe locals with 17 ot the 25 points. 1'ooigbt tbe Athena teams will go to Milton, where tbey will play Colum bia College io a double-header game.
