Thanksgiving Program at High
School.


The last week was a busy one, but
withal, a good one at high school.
Thursday and Friday were given to
the pupils as time for rest and re-
joicing. They will come back to
school Monday fresh and ready for
another month of strenuous work;
then will come the Christmas holi-
days.
Tuesday Moot Congress had a busy
session, and drafted some important
bills. and got through some much
needed legislation. The matter Of
the popular election of senators was
settled once for all, and Oregon need
not resort to strategy to achieve this
end. Among other senators who
made strong speeches were the fol-
lowing: Ezra Dyer, Maud Wilburh,
Claire Dyer, Annie Thompson, Ber-
tie Wigs, Helen Golf, George And
erson, Eva Newman, Mabel Snyder,
Frank Scivally Vivian Warren. The
question of womans voting, will
come up soon, and spirited debate
is confidently expected. The outcome
can not be certainly forecasted, as
there is much diversity of opinion.
The house has challenged the SEN
ate to joint debate. The question
will be selected early this week, and
one of the hottest contests ever seen
between these two august bodies VIII
be under way. The public will be
especially welcome to see the fight,
which will be in about three weeks.
One of the very best Thanksg1v-
ing programs ever seen at the high
school was rendered last Wednesday
afternoon. A good number OF parents
and friends We're present, and the
Carnegie hall was well filled. Seldom
has anything passed off more agree
ably to all. There was not moments
hitch. Mrs. McClintock, the excel
| lent supervisor of music in the city
schools, showed both her ability and
good taste in the management OF the
program. Those who missed it lost
more than they know. The high
school orchestra made its first ap-
pearance of the year, and gives prom
ise of great things. The high school
chorus did some of the best singing
ever. There was improvement in one
particular; there We're more boys
voices heard than hitherto. 10
point to this or that part Of the pro-
gram as specially deserving OF praise
would be treading on treacherous
ground since it all measured up to
so high a standard, but 1t is safe TO
say that the violin playing of little
William Ringer ELECTED the most ap-
plause The piano solos were de-
! liglhtfully rendered, and indicate
somewhat the talent in high school
this year. Miss Hanna was at her
best. which is saying much; and Mrs.
McClintock closed the program
though not on the program, was call
ed on and responded with two beauti'
| full vocal solos.
The program was suited to the sea.
son and chimed in we'll with the beau
| tiful afternoon. The decorations OF
autumn leaves and branches height
ened this effect.
The printed program was as fol-

The seniors wish thus publicly 20
send their heartiest thanks 10 Mrs.
J. VI. London for the two fine chry-
santhemum plants which grace their
room. The plants were prize-winners
az the flower show, but the writer
sincerely believes the choice flowers
are now doing the most effective mis-
sion possible to them. From their
vantage point in front of thirty-five
seniors, they are silently, but no less
surely teaching lessons which wifi
not be lost with the passing years.
Their color. form. and fragrance
speak straight TO every heart, point
ing TO the larger, fuller life, the
purer soul.
