High School Notes
The Friday Club
(By Doris Street) '
Many years ago school pupils were
encouraged to attend strictly to their
studies by various devices on the part
of their parents. Schooling was not
so common and learning was looked
up to by everyone. A man was said
to be worth one dollar per day up to
his ears, and from there on up as
much more as he could get. Boys
and girls were sometimes forbidden
to even read good fiction during the
school term; it being thought bene
ficial to put all their time on their
school studies. One lady who dearly
loved her children, and who wanted
them to have good educations, but
didn't wish to be strict and harsh,
thought up the plan of the "Friday
Club." If her children did extra good
work at school, on Friday evening
they could invite a chum to supper,
and to spend the night. The child
who ranked one in his class when he
received his report card was entitled
to give a party. The refreshments
were not expensive and sometimes
consisted of nothing more than just
popcorn and apples. In this large
family of children they all got
through school with honors. This
"Friday Club" is successful where
ever tried, and should be revived with
the Empress Eugenie hats and long
skirts. The most successful pupils
confine their recreations to the week
ends.
Hallowe'en Party
A very lovely party was enjoyed by
the third and fourth grade room Fri
day afternoon. The pupils each had
a part on one of the following com
mittees: refreshments, decoration,
program or games. Each committee
carried its work through to the finish
in planning its part to make the
party a success.
Better Spellers in Grades
The pupils who received I in spell
ing this month in Miss Calef's room
are: Glenn Dowd, Jeanne Standage,
Margery Wilks, Arminda Coppock,
Mary Lou Hansell.

Bryce Baker, Proprietor
Spokane. Pacific northwest wheat
prices jumped from 15 to 24 cents
a bushel during last month, an aver
age net gain in price to the farmer
of nearly 70 per cent, according to
A. C. Adams, treasurer and general
manager of North Pacific Grain
Growers, Inc., regional cooperative.
Prices on October 31 were from
20.5 to 26.5 cents a bushel higher
than on August 1, the beginning of
the season.
Hard winter, northern spring and
western red "wheats are netting the
grower 78 per cent more than on
August 1. Palouse hard federation
jumped more than 75 per cent in net
price to the farmer during the three
month period. Western whitee and
soft white wheats are up 60 per cent
net price to the grower. Hard
white baart or bluestem is 62 per
cent higher in price than three
months ago.
Wheat prices at all world markets
advanced markedly last week, with
the month closing in a reign of extra
bullish sentiment brought on by the
announcement that Russia is over
sold and has been forced into the
world markets to buy at advanced
prices to meet commitments.
Pacific northwest wheat prices end
ed October leading Chicago prices by
approximately 7 cents a bushel. Un
der normal conditions, Portland and
Seattle prices are below Chicago
prices by 2 or 3 cents and Chicago
prices are 16 cents lower than Liver
pool prices.
Sale of the Pacific northwest sur
plus held by the Grain Stablization
corporation to the Chinese govern
ment is credited by Mr. Adams as
the most important factor in putting
Pacific northwest prices at their pres
ent high levels.
Two other major factors he listed
as largely due to the policies and
operations of Farmers National uram
corporation: First, its policy to pay
the producer the highest price tne
market will afford consistent with
safe merchandising: second, its un
ceasing efforts to keep the export
ports of the United States open and
free from congestion, and at the
same time providing sufficient ele
vator storage space at the important
terminal markets in order that new
crop receipts might be promptly un
loaded and properly warehoused by
preserving the identity of high-grade
protein and other premium wheats,
thus saving for the producer the full
benefits in price which such premium
wheats customarily command.
Mr. Adams also pointed out that as
a result of the agricultural marketing
act. regardless of price levels, the
farmer-member of the nation-wide co
operative system is receiving a great
er percentage of the sales price of
his wheat than ever before.
"It is conservatively estimated that
prices received by producers during
the past 15 months have resulted in a
saving to them of probably more than
$150,000,000 as against what would
have proven true were it not for the
law which made national cooperative
grain marketing activities possible."
Error in Honor Roll
Through an error Walter Singer's
name was omitted from the honor
roll printed in the school notes week
before last. His grades were all l's.
This entitles hint, to be on the honor
roll for the first six weeks of the
first semester. A student is entitled
to this honor when all of his grades
are 2 or above.
Biology Class Visits Museum
The biology class accompanied by
the teacher Mrs. . Stewart visited Bil
lings Hall Museum at Walla Walla,
Friday, October 30. Two cars driven
by Mrs. Stewart and Valerie Cannon
were the means of transportation.
The class left at 11:15 a. m. and
reached Walla Walla Park in time to
enjoy a picnic lunch. A flock of tame
ducks helped to share the students'
lunch. The ducks added to the bio
logical atmosphere of the group. At
1:15 p. m. the group arrived at tne
museum, and were cordially receiv
ed by Dr. Brode Curator, who gave
an interesting and helpful talk on the
contents of the museum.

Oregon State college, No, Oregon
State college and University of Ore
gon are not holding a joint home
coming program at Eugene this year,
but the two colleges are holding their
celebrations on their respective cam
puses on the same week-end, Novem
ber 13-14, and' will attend the same
state championship football game to
be played at the university.
This is the latest official word that
comes from the two campuses in
answer to many puzzled inquirers
who had the idea that the use of the
same game as the main homecoming
attraction by both O. S. C. and U. of
O. meant elimination of one of the
usual programs.
At Oregon State, where Martin
Redding of Salem is heading the big
student committee in charge of
events, the program will begin
Thursday night, November 12 with a
series of student parties and a ra
dio broadcast over KOAC between
8:15 and 9:30 o'clock for the bene
fit of alumni. -
Friday the alumni will arrive while
students work on the big rook bon

dressed in "hard time" costumes and
enjoyable games were outlined by the

the "hardest-up" costume went to
Robert Rose. In keeping with the
theme of the party douarhnuts and
cider were served. ;
