HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
By Betty Epping
The firemen game was postponed un
til tonight bo as to give more people
the chance to know it is coming. Early
in the season the high school defeated
the firemen 3832 and the firemen are
hitting the high places, namely, bas
kets. Our team is the strongest we
have had for several years. The team
that will play tonight against the fire
men won the first basket ball game for
H. R. H. S. in three years. All the
school is agog over the game tonight.
Wednesday morning assembly was de
voted to the coming game. The play
ers spoke.members of the student body
and the faculty spoke, cheers were
given and nothing can be heard but
Firemen vs. H. R. H S. Tonight after
school the students will endeavor to let
out some of their spirit in a rally.
The spirit which we let out we are go
ing to put into the townspeople and
business men.
The Dreadnoughts and Cruisers will
have a pitched battle tonight also. The
battle will be closely fought, as the
lowers must give the victors a feed.
Last Friday our basket ball team
journeyed to The Dalles to play the
last league game of the season. Dope
favored our team slightly after the
defeat of Stevenson, whose team had
defeated The Dalles. At the end of
the first half as a result of hard play
ing by both teams the score stood 16
13 in H. R. H. S. favor. In the sec
ond half The Dalles made a strong
come-back and soon overtook the small
lead. In an attempt to stop them Gas
soway was put in at forward and Hen
derson who had been playing that po
sition, replaced Slavens at guard. This
change checked The Dalles a little, but
not enough to overcome the lead they
had gained. The final score was 2927
in favor of The Dalles.
A reception was planned for our
boys, but due to the fact that 65 per
cent of the parents were not present,
which is required to carry on an enter
tainment of that kind, it was necessary
to call it off.
Those making the trip were : Blow
ers, Gaasoway, Vonder Ahe, Hender
son, Spaulding, Slavens, Wright, and
Coach Cohoon. v
The Hood River teachers' associa
tion have planned to give a banquet at

one of the biggest of its kind ever

by 25 per cent, is $100,000. The Flan

Children Write to Dr. McVay
The artless, unaffected conversation
of children is always interesting
speech, and some of the most wonder
ful of literature may be found in the
thought of childhood as expressed in
letters of little men and women.
Dr. J. H. McVay, who is convales
cing at the State street home of Miss
Abbie J. Mills, will probably preserve
as a beloved treasure the letters re
cently written him by members of a
class of Miss Kittie Bragg at the Cen
tral Vale school, which is near the
orchard home of Dr. McVay. The fol
low ing children participated in the let
ter writing bee: Marian Cameron,
Eunice Lester, Freda Tomlinson, Ivah
Hagen, Vivian Hagen, Mereyn Massee,
Ethel Shull, Hariet Fuller.
"One School Session Daily Proposed
Plans are under way here to Inaugu
rate next year a one session day of the
city schools in the early fall and late
spring, instead of the two sessions,
morning and afternoon, ainow held.
According to the plans' the schoolwork
will be resumed at an earlier hour in
the morning and the schools will be
dismissedfor the day at noon. The
proposed system meets with the favor
of the faculties of city schools. Ac
tion by the schoolboard will not take
place until after a canvass of the sen
timent of the patrons of the school is
obtained.
As an argument in favor of the pro
posed change it is declared that the
one sessionja day will enable the school
children to particpiate in the fruit
harvests.
Card Clubs Will Help Belgian Children
The members of Hood River card
clubs have formed an alliance to aid in
raising funds locally for the Belgian

Numerous cougars have invaded the
settlements of the UpperVUey during
the past winter and participation in
trailing these denizens of the wild has
taught the dogs of Upper Valley ranch
ers that the big cats are dangerous
foes, as was evidenced Monday night
at Parkdale when State Game Warden
Shoemaker was showing moving pic
ture reels of State Biologist Finley.
At a banquet tendered Lower Valley
sportsmen by the Upper Valley mem
bers of the Hood River County Game
Protective Association, Mr. Shoemaker
had entertained the audience with sev
eral reels, depicting wild deer and oth
er animals. Several Upper Valley dogs
had been passive spestatora of the un
usual sight. Suddenly one of the reels
showed several cougar kittens in ac
tion. The big Mclsaac hall became a
bedlam of fiercely barking dogs. Ev
ery animal present rushed up the aisles
howling at a safe distance their de
fiance at the pictured cougars.
A party of 25 local men journeyed to
the Parkdale banquet aboard a special
rail auto. J. F. Thompson, of Park
dale, presided at the meeting. Other
speakers in addition to Mr. Shoemaker
were Alva L. Day, D. McDonald and
