Irwin, nronertv rnan for the coming high school play, "The Rejuv enation of Aunt Mary." has quite a difficult matter on his hands In the first act when he has to depict an elec trical storm with lightning, rain and thunder all at the same time. How ever, he says that he has already fig ured out how he will arrange things n the audience will think that Jack and Betty have Just come in out of a torm. If the storm was ail ne naa to do, Ellis would not worry, but in addi tion, he has to get a large number of nrnnertles and several assistants to move them. He Is very busy getting ih nrnnerties together and we feel confident that he will have them all there when the day that the play is to be given comes around. t tt.ev the sood smells that came up to the auditorium from the domestic ar,r.u ,inortment signified that tne cooks were preparing a banquet for themselvs, whicn too piaco m -thirty Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Norrli was a guest The menu ,. .. follows, fruit cocktail veal loaf, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, Parkerhouse rolls, cranberry Jelly, pineapple sherbert, chocolate cake. Were you ever sued for breach of promise? If not, be sure and see wnat happened to Jack when the girl from Kalamaaoo brought a flfteen-thousana- dollar suit against him. As a second George Washington, innt Msrv certainlv "takes the cake." She doesn't believe in telling lies, In fact, she says there is no use or aomg o but wait and see the play, to see how this clever, but surprisingly inno cent old lady "gets away" witn ner "stories." If you are looking for a maid and general manager, we strongly recom mend Betty, who disguises herself In the costume of her maid, In order to "keep an eye" on Aunt Mary while she is visiting In the city. The Freshmen are always said to be the most timid class in school but this year tables are turned. The class of '25 held Its first class party at tne school house on Pececmber 2. The baeement was gaily decked out In red. brown and green crepe paper, their class colors. Games were played dur u, aveninir and a light luncheon consisting of cake and Baled was served. We take It they all had a good time, because when the fact Is mentioned they merely laugh and say, "Oh, we had a swell time!" and then approach another topic. The Juniors have been making a study of magailnes for the past week. Reports on the best magaiines of each type were made by the different stu dents. Come and see If you agree with Clover that Aunt Mary la more like a moth ball than a fluff ball. A telegram! A shriek! Someone frantically claws the air and tumbles into space. What can be the cause of all this disturbance? Watch Mitchell solve the mystery, Friday, Dec. l$th, in "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary." Bob Burnett Is a typical brother, who gets mighty Impatient with Betty for stopping to flirt when he's In a hurry. He says, ."She drives me to suicide Just for fun." Last Wednesday the pupils were all delighted to receive their monthly re nnrt cards. The cards this month were much hetter than last. If we continue at the rate we nre now going tho en tire high school will be honor stu dents before the year is over. Women 1 It you want to find out the latest means of carryng money come to aee "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary. The basketball boys heaved a lone sigh of relief on Tuesday when It was announced to them that the slow-but-sure sewing class had at last finished their basketball trousers. Aunt Mary's cigarettes are more comical than successful. "Better late than never" seems to be the idea the Sophs have, for In a class; meeting last week they selected their motto, which is: "We have reached the hills, the mountains lie beyond." They also decided upon tho tea rose as their class flower. i (Continued on Page Six) 11th Annual Meeting Oregon Irrigation Congress to Be Held in Pendleton This Year Pendleton, Or, Dec 7.
