The pictures of the student
body which were taken in such
a quick fashion the Wednes

Many of the JOa u ""
pictures have already been
placed on the permanent record
cards, i
The home room period was
extended until 9:30 a. m. so that
the teachers could distribute
the pictures and collect money
from those who wished to keep
mem. tacn stuaent wno was
photographed was slven 12
small pictures of himself. He
was allowed to keep them at a
raie or inree ior iu cents; six
for 20 cents, and 12 for 30 cents.
There was no obligation to those
who did not wish to keen the
pictures, however, many of the
of the money will be spent to
bring an additional 50,000 acres
of land under irrigation in the
vicinity of Madras. Further
work will be done on the Wicki
up dam and clearing of the reser
voir area, for river channel im
provements, and installation of
additional power facilities, in
cluding construction of substa

make water available for 9300
acres of public land, construct
flood control works and con
crete line the main canal.
As the session of congress
closed for the year, Senator
Morse (R) told the senate it was
completing the worst "do-nothing
session in history" but on
the- house side Rep. Ellsworth
(R) said he believed congress
had accomplished all it started
out to do that was of major importance.
