ably begin next week. According to
Mrs. Smith, who will coch this year's

The Civics class has been studying
the various compromises of the con
stitutional convention. The work of
this class has been all research dat
ing from the Magna Charta up to the
present work being done on the con
stitution. Due to the amount of work
of Mr. Burgess, the class has not met
very often lately.
New Playground.
A new playground is to be estab
lished on the south side of the gym
nasium for the grade students as
soon as the contractor's buildings are
removed. This is to relieve the pres
ent congested conditions on the old
playground and lessen the numerous
accidents which are happening while
the children are playing.
o
Industrial Club.
The Parent-Teacher association has
selected a group of energetic grade
students to carry on the work of an
industrial club. These members have
promised a real effort in making their
products and will probably be -awarded
prizes given by the state and coun
ty fairs. The best products of the
clubs will be sent to both fairs'.
Leaders for the various groups will
be volunteered from the association.
Interclass Debates.
Intercfass debates will again be one
of the principal events of the school
year. Mr. Von Lubken will be head
debate coach of the contesting teams.

other school representatives, will be
chosen from the class debaters.
Basketball Hall.
The floor of the basketball hall has
been sanded and relay teams of high
school students under the manage
ment of Mr. Burgess and Mr. John
son, are rapidly getting the floor
marked out for the basketball court.
Tuesday a group of boys were de
tailed by Mr. Johnson to get the
backboards and baskets from the
Swindig hall and install them in the
gymnasium.
The court itself is regulation size,
but the floor itself on which it is
placed, is the largest in eastern Ore
gon. The measurements have been
marked out with chalk and in the
near future will be coated with two
applications of prepared floor paint,
provided by the contractor.
A large turnout is expected for
basketball practice and everyone in
terested in the game is eagerly await
ing the opening of the season.

course?

do you know what I'd do?

pose." Ellis: "No, I'd hire it out for the
dances."
Onez P.:, "Gee, I had a funny
dream last night."
Louise L.: "What was it?"
Onez P.: "I dreamed that I was
somewhere in the future, watching
our high school teachers going up to
heaven by way of a very long ladder.
A command was given from the Lord
for each to take a piece of chalk and
write down one sin which they had
done on earth, on each step "
Louise: "Yes; go on."
Onez: "And behold, when I took
the second look, I saw Mr. Johnson

Recommendation
Endorsement
THERE COMES a time in almost
every man's life when it will mean
a good deal to him to have the rec
ommendation or endorsement of a
good bank.
IF HE IS FAVORABLY KNOWN
at the bank, he has a distinct advant
age over the man who is not.
YOUR REPUTATION is what you
have made it through years of hon
est dealing, and your disposition to
meet your obligations promptly.

Camel
The cigarette that knows
how to "be itself"
There is no "pose" about
Camel. It's just a good
honest cigarette the best
everand it doesn't try
to be anything else.
If all cigarettes were as good
as Camel you wouldn't hear
anything about special treat
meats to make cigarettes good
for the throat. Nothing takes
the place of choice tobaccos.
