The Athena boys began the game by receiving the ball and marching down the field like veterans for a touchdown in two downs. Pilot Rock RELIABLE WATCH REPAIRING Main St. H. H. HILL Athena ' Jensens Blacksmith Shop Repair Work Prices Reasonable Athena, Oregon then got the ball, but they were un able to near their goal as the Athena line held firm. In the second quart er things did not go so well, and the team seemed to have forgotten much of the" instruction it had received in practice. However, Athena made another touchdown before the half. In the third and fourth quarters, Ath ena was more on the defensive, striving to keep Pilot Rock from making a touchdown. They were successful, and at the end of the game the score stood 12-0. Coach Miller said that the reason for the slacking up of the teamwork in the game was due to lack of ex perience and the fact that the system he is teaching is new to the boys, and they did not have much con fidence in it or themselves. "Pike" thinks that with more experience and harder practice Athena will have one of the best teams in Eastern Oregon. The next game to be played with Walla Walla next Friday, here, will be a much harder game, but "Pike" thinks with this week's practice the boys will be more experienced and able to put up a much better show ing. Much credit must be given "Tuffy" Murphy, cheerleader, and his cheer team for their splendid cooperation with him.

From every corner of the world they came. That valiant band of youths whose last illusion and first women were dim memories. They had tried everything in life but death, and death they eagerly courted. A sensational mystery-melodrama of the air. It's here. The daring drama of the air you've been waiting for. The thrilling story of a desperate band of war-flyers whose only honorable dis charge was a death certificate.

Dur ing the game all the boys that have been turning out got a chance to play. Student Body ' In spite of the fact that Friday was a day of the Round-Up the foot ball game was a financial success. The ticket sellers, Thelma Schrimpf, Frances Cannon, Pearl' Green, and Virgie Moore took in twenty five dol lars and forty five cents. After the referee had been paid seven dollars and a half, the student body made seventeen dollars and ninety five cents. A student body meeting was held Monday, September 25. The treas urer's and secretary's reports were read. The executive council's report not to fix the tennis courts till spring was approved by the student body. The question was brought up whether to help the freshmen give their annual weiner roast or let them take all the expenses themselves. The motion was carried by the student body. As there was no more busi ness the meeting adjourned. Entertainment The freshmen were initiated Tues day evening, September 18. A num ber of new stunts were carried out as well as the old customs of initiation. Each member of the class gave some kind of a skit on the stage in the auditorium. . Then all went to the party room where the freshmen were made to eat numerous things, such as garlic and limburger cheese. The freshmen were given an oral exami nation on the student body constitu tion and, because they feared a pun ishment threatened them, all passed fairly well. The most interesting antics were produced when they jumped off the floor and flopped their hands for a certain length of time. Each boy, on his hands and knees, with a girl riding on his back, then had to push a bean with his nose across the gym floor. The freshmen are now thankful they are full fledged members of the high school, although they all seemed to enjoy the initiation. The high school and eighth grade held an assembly Friday morning, September 21, for the purpose of creating pep and enthusiasm for the football game. Speeches were given by each member of the football squad who could be persuaded to do so. A number of yells were given in honor of the boys and the coach. Classes The freshmen have decided to hold their annual weiner roast for the student body Wednesday, October 3, at Thornhollow.
