There has been a story spread
about town regarding the weiner
roast held Saturday night, Novem
ber 27, to the effect that after the
roast, the young folks took the chap
erone home and then went to Uma-
tilla. This is a.serious mistake and
the folks who attended the affair
wish to make it known as such, be-
cause such a statement does not add
either to the reputation of the whole
school nor to the few young folks
whose names are involved in the un-
ruth.

Grade Notes
The boys and girls of the eight
grade have organized a basket ball
team to defeat the High School. Mr.
Bensel has ordered the Basket Bail.
Last week the eight grade gave Mr.
Bensel a peanut shower which was
enjoyed by all as well as Mr. Bensel
himself.
The eighth grade was invited up
stairs last Friday to listen to an ad
dress given by Dr. Van Waters which
was very interesting.
The grades are all contributing
something for the Armenian Relief
Fund.

ing, Mrs. Lloyd being their leader
They have also organised a sewing
club.

Out here on the Pacific Coast,
The in winter when it gets so cold
We grow so very grave and bold.
We coast and coast on our old sled
Until Its time to go to bed.
Then in the morn we go to school
And learn our lesson by the rule.
In summer time during vacation
We are not careful with our ration
We eat green apples by the score
But still we crave for more and
more.
But when you think that this is home
You realy do not care for Rome,
And many another foreign strand
With Cathedrals and Castle and
things so grand.
And when you think of the sagebrush
land
And the very dry and ugly sand
And all the hardships we must en
dure
If you're loyal to home you can stand
