High School-Synopsis of Exercises.

Hunger Roy johnson and Orrie Peter
son fought for the affirmative
Following is the argument of the de-
bators: The affirmative argued that
the lower classes of Chinese should be
excluded for social, political and eco
| nomical reasons, and said that it was
found by experience that the only way
to accomplish this was by the present
policy.
The negative said that the present
policy was unjust to the Chinese, that it
would make our trade with China de-
crease, and advocated a few minor
changes, which they claimed would still
be able to keep out the Chinese laborers.
The affirmative refuted this argument
by saying just such policy as the mega
tive had advocated had been tried and
had proven unsuccessful, and that the
present policy, which was founded up
on twenty-five years of experience, was
the only policy which could keep out
the lower classes of Chinese immigrants
The judges, Neal Brown, A. L. Kreutz-
er, j. f. Lamont, Louis Marchetti and
o. K. Wells, decided the debate in favor
OF the affirmative.
Miss Geo. Hart greatly pleased the
audience with the vocal selections, "A
Little Maiden Loves a Boy and "The
World is Full of April"
Edgar Wilson spoke with much
enthusiasm of the beautiful scenery in
"A Trip Through Yellowstone Park"
He is uncommonly gifted with. the use
OF English, and with the aid of some
elegant lantern slides vividly portrayed
to the audience the beauties of nature
in our National park.

situation OF Southern planter and his
negro slave, who while camping few

magnificent deer.
ihe class prophecy, as prepared and
presented by the Misses Katharine Bis
SELL Katherine Manson, Orpha Jones
and Irma Schmidt, was surprisingly
excellent. The girls showed themselves
to be endowed with an extraordinary
imagination and a great ability for writ

form of play in two acts In the first
scene Katherine M, Orpha and Irma
are making fudge in Irma's room
They are waiting for Katharine B., who
finally enters and explains that she had
met Frank Osen, who was in great need
of something to put in the paper, so she
had to create startling story before
she could get away. However, she
thinks that Frank will never be an
editor, but that he is more likely to 90
into partnership with Marconi. They
attempt to settle down to business but
do not succeed and decide to divide the
list of seniors and each do her share.
Then they will meet again and put their
masterpieces together.
The girls meet again the next day

Katharine Bissell wrote in poetry, viz:
There was young lady named Mumm,
Who really thought she was dumb,
Even when her card came
She said just the same,
Though of poors, fairs and goods there were
none.
There is young lad named Roy,
Who is quite versatile boy,
He paints and he draws
Without any flaws
And his playing is really iOy.
The pride of our class is our Hugh,
OF talking he never is through,
He'll debate and debate
Although it is late,
And he sticks to his point like glue.
Amy had little dog,
1t came TO school one day,
Mr.. Sholes then carried it out
For it made the children play.
Irene's been away
All her senior year.
She's been learning how to play,
We're glad to have her here.
In our class there is a lad,
OSen is his name,
He will make this high school glad
Because of his great fame.
Who'll be the president?

And none will be sorry,
I'll be the president"

Who travelled o er the wide, wide world
In every famous town.
Katherine Manson and Orpha Jones
wrote story together. Sadie Rosen-
berry was queen in a beautiful castle,

Pierce, princess in near by castle

breathing fire and smoke, dash madly
by the castle. Queen Sadie selected
three knights to rid the land of this
monster. Sir Frank (OkoneskD was to
protect the realms OF the fair Duchess
Cellah (Waterhouse). Sir Robert
(Runger) was to guard the realm of
poet Rowena (Arthur). Knight Edgar
(Wilson) was entrusted with the king
dom at the east. Lady Friedah
(Kuckuk), renowned for her kindness
Robert rescued Olga (Tietz) the far
turned and related how he had struck
at the leg of the monster one dark night
and his old classmate, Oscar Brumberg,
alighted from the back of the monster
and accused him of puncturing the tire
of his auto.
The girls concluded their prophecy
by giving the following toasts: Kathar-
inc Bissell-"To our school board, who
has given us splendid advantages for
education, we owe lasting debt of
gratitude. May all the children of the
future who study in this high school
enjoy the same kindly interest which
has been shown US by the present
school board"
