Miss Eeulah Smith Carolyn Kidder and Harold Kirk visited friends in Pendleton Sunday evening. ' . ; Editorial (Arthur Crowley) It is through the actions of a few disorderly students of the Athena high school that the school spirit i3 somewhat lowered. The school spirit has been very low in the past years but it is gradually getting better. In the last few years the students of the school have not taken a great deal of interest in any of the athletic games but now everything is being done to increase the 3chool spirit and we hope in the near future that it will be brought about that we will have one hundred per cent school interest. In the sub-district tournament held at Helix enthusiasm of the finest type was shown by nearly all of the stu dents attending. There are certain students of the Athena high school who should never be allowed to wit ness any of the school affairs because of their disorderly conduct. At some of the basket-ball games held here these individuals would sit up in the balcony. and shoot water guns and throw chalk. It seems as though these students would realize that this is "small town stuff" and that they would be ashamed of themselves. If these few individuals must shoot water guns and throw chalk we sug gest that they stay home and enjoy themselves instead of coming to the school to do it It is through these individuals that the school spirit is lowered and if these childish pranks were abolished the student body at titude would be much improved in spirit. Athletics Although we have had a few touches of winter, lately, spring seems to be a pretty well established fact and "Pike" is attempting to form a baseball team. Baseball practice is to start in earnest this week and there are sev eral boys turning out to offer their services to the team. "Pike" is try ing to get a practice game to take place a week from today. Personals Eldon Myrkk and Carl Calvert had their pictures taken in Walla Walla Saturday morning.

Girls League The Girls League met last Tuesday and the party which was to be given on Friday, March 14 was postponed until tonight due to the Operetta at Weston.
