The football squad was entertain­
ed by the Kiwanis club with a ban­
quet Wednesday noon. The mem­
bers of the team were introduced by
Coach Sheeley and Asberry Miner
spoke as president of the student­
body. At this meeting of the team
Kenneth Mahan was elected captain
of this years team. The points which
guided the election were: 1. Regular­
ity in attendance to practice. 2. At­
titude toward school and team. 3.
Performance while on field.
The “Lion and the Mouse” present­
ed by the Dramatic club Friday was
very successful, both dramatically and
financially. The players interpreted
their parts in an interesting manner
and much credit is due Miss Edith
Larson as director.
The Philo Kolan society met Tues-
day evening at the home of Mrs,
Heyd. The greater part of the even-
ing was spent in working out cross-
word puzzles after which dainty re­
freshments were served by the
hostess.
The debate tryout was held Tues-
day afternoon with Mrs. Thomas
Coates, Miss Mixter and the Rever-
end Anderson acting as judges, and
Miss Larson as chairman.
After much discussion on the part
of the judges the following team was
chosen:
Catherine Smith, Rowena
Hanson, Marie Messersmith and
Frank Holden, with Marion Lamb and
Thelma Hoover as alternates. Two
of the debaters Miss Hanson and Miss
Smith debated last year and under
the coaching of Miss Esmer Mixter,
much is expected of the team.
The Zeta Gethian’s initiated eight
pew members before the assembly on
Thursday of this week. They were:
Betty Mowery, Warren Dunn, Caroil
Smith, Asberry Miner, Libby Tucker,
Camille Haltom, Cyril Ware, and
Clark Johnson.
Miss Church entertained the “Snipe
Hunters” on Tuesday night,

things began to look more encourag I
ing to all concerned. Mr. Clark, our
blacksmith, was very busy, and he
said he never thought that a vessel
required such a quantity of bolts and
iron to fasten the different parts to­
gether, as he had never’seen one built
before. Her timbers were about ten
inches apart. The next thing requir­
ed was lumber for plank. It was first
thought spruce would do, but after
consideration Mr. Thomas thought
spruce was too soft a timber for out­
side planking, so we concluded to take
fir for this purpose. We had to cut
a road up on the hill about one mile
and a quarter on the land now owned
by Dan Pike. Here we felled our firs,
cut it and hewed it on two sides, and
hauled it down to where we were
building, then built a frame for
whipsawing lumber by hand.
Mr.
Chas. West and John Saunders whip-
sawed every plank and hoard used in
building the schooner. They would

day. We were just one month in get­

the trade, and that he might go into
the Willamette valley and start a
spike manufactory. The old man was
quite a wag and chuck full of fun, he
was the life of the camp, and he used
to style himself as “Bishop Clark” or
“Bishop of the Church,” and he had
every man in the camp named as
members of his church. Himself and
Thomas used to have lots of fun.
Thomas’ given name was Ohed, and
Clark used to call him Didymus.
Three of us took week about in doing
the cooking.
When Thomas’ turn
came, Clark would say “now you Di­
dymus, what are you going to give us
for dinner today, old chunk Salmon
and small potatoes, as usual, when
you are cook, or are you Didymus
going to give us a french soup with
a bottle of wine to finish up with? I
would prefer the latter, Didymus.”
The potatoes were small, having been
cut down twice this summer by frost,
but the old man must have his fun
with Thomas and the rest of the boys.
The ending of each week brought
us so much nearer the completion of
our work, there was great enthusiasm
put into the job. Everybody was
looking forward with great expecta­
tions and on the first day of Decem­
ber we had all her planking on out­
side, and all her lining in, we also
had her beams and carlines all in and
made fast, also had a portion of her
deck on. We now had to send to

RISKS LIFE FOR
CAMERA THRILL
Time and again the world has been
thrilled by a glimpse of spectacular
heroism on the silver sheet—and the
world’s heart stops for a breathless
moment. Then, the thrill over, the
wo: Id turns to its wife in the next
seat and remarks, “They certainly
faked that well, Maty.”
Contrary to the general belief of
a too cynical public, all motion pic­
ture thrills are not faked. Often the
newspapers cany gruesome head­
lines announcing the injury of some
member of : he movie colony who has
striven too well to put a new kick into
your entertainment and mine. Such
was nearly the case in filming the
Phil Gcldstone production, “His Last
Race,” wherin the scenario called for
Rex (Snowy) Baker to capture his
wonder horse, Boomerang, supposed
to be running wild.
“I guess you’ve had about enough
of this lake,” said Reeve Eason, the
diiector, as Baker emerged dripping.
“Oh, no,” replied Baker. “We’ll
come back and do the dive from the
aiiplane into the lake this afternoon.
