The Young Woman's Christian as
sociation is one of the important So
cial features of the school. II was
organized early in the history of the

to organize their respective basket
ball teams. They are very enthusi-
astic and no doubt will not be long
in accomplishing their aim.
Up TO the present time there has
been comparatively little interest in
athletics this year by the school. This
may account for the fact that no OPP
position from the faculty was met
when the literary societies decided
to postpone their REGULAR Friday pri-
waite until Wednesday and adjourn
to the football field to witness the
game between North Yakima and
high schools.
