ASHLAND HIGH SCHOOL
Personal Notes That Tell of Activi-
ties in the Realm of the
Three Rs.

The preliminary debating tryout
on Monday afternoon resulted in the
selection of Walter Carpenter, Billie
Briggs, Jay Withrow, Leroy Ash
craft, Verne Mills and Esther Whited,
who will compete in the finals for
positions on the team which will de-
bate klamath Falls in the state
league. The debaters showed good
preparation and mastery of the sub
ject as we'll as ease in speaking be-
fore an audience. Although Ashland
has the unpopular side of the debate
on capital punishment, the interest
being shown by the students gives
promise that we have at least an
equal chance.
The manual training department
has finished three fine tables for the
dining room and three panel screens
for the teachers rest room, all show
ing the best of workmanship. The
patrons of the school could treat
themselves to an agreeable surprise
if they would only visit the school
and examine the work being done by
this department. The articles are
not at all inferior to those found in
our furniture stores. They include
handkerchief boxes, glove boxes, pin
trays, sleeve boards, coat hangers,
piano footstools, and bread boards.
The materials used are quarter
sawed oak, birdseye maple, black
walnut, and redwood, in addition to
the local woods. Johnny Harrell
brought in an abundant supply of
redwood. Ed Dews, who is just TAX
ing up the work, is showing remark
able aptitude for it.
The monthly report cards and
teachers payday arrived almost. sim
ultaneously and were received with
mixed feelings by the faculty and
students.
Election day gave the students an
opportunity to escape for one more
day the drudgery of the class room.

The boys basketball squad has
been getting out a few times lately,
and it certainly shows promise of a
successful esason. Phillips at for

handicapped by a bad arm. Poor is
the same consistent, brawny player
at center Gravy Plymate and others
are showing up well for the guart
positions. The boys are practically
sure of trip north through the Viii.
lamette valley. Cottage Grove, Dal
las, Newberg and several Other
schools have signified their willing
ness to play both at their homes and
in Ashland. Local sport lovers will
have ample opportunity to see thu
boys in action against good teams.
Coach Butterfield has returned
from getting married seemingly NJ
worse off from the violent goodbye
which he received.

ed, will not be called to the Wilson
cabinet, but will be taken care of in
some other capacity if he desires
He is in poor health and is expected

BRIDE, SO, TELLS
OF HER ROMANCE
Mrs. Jennie Wilson Elopes
With 74-Year Edward Booth
on Way to a Party.
HARD TO POP QUESTION
He Was So Bashful,' She Said, But
We Got OFF Train and Were
Married."

Chicago, Jan. 30.-And so, to be-
gin the fairy tale right at the end
ing, they-meaning Edward Booth
and Mrs. Jennie Wilson of Wauke-
gan, Il.-were married with the in
tention Of living happily ever after.
That Mr.. Booth is "A years old and
Mrs. Booth 60 doesn't make a bit of
difference. Neither does the fact
that they eloped to Chicago for the
marriage.
Eloped? Why not? As the new
Mrs. Booth put it yesterday after
noon at the residence of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Floyd Hartman, 4740
North Maplewood avenue, we're all
young until we die, anyway, and so
what's TO hinder being impetuous.?
At first, the newly married ones
fingered in the kitchen of the Hart
man apartment and weren't going to
say a single thing. But that was just
because Mr.. Booth is so bashful.
BRIDE BLUsHEs BIT.
Well, after a while, they came
forth, Mrs. Booth blushing a bit and
smoothing out that new brown silk
dress, the bridegroom hesitating
and nervous, half hiding behind the
portieres until his wife began the
conversation. In the hating words
of the husband they had known each
other for about eight years. They
| just couldn't make up their minds
until the psychological moment,
when they were both coming to at
tend little birthday party for Mrs.
Booths 2-year-old grandchild. Then
1t just happened.
However, there was a different
version to the affair. While Mr.,
Booth was telling his side Of the
case the visitor noticed little twin.
kle in the eyes OF the 6o-year-old
bride.
The 74-year-old bridegroom-he
doesn't look more than 50-left the
room. The bride, who could beat
the census man out of 20 years Il
she cared to-arose and walked neal
the piano. The little grandchil6
came running into the room and be
gan finger exercises on the keyboard
of the instrument. Mrs. Booth mo-
toned to the visitor.
TELLS OF ROMANCE.
"Mr. Booth is so bashful," she be
gan, that he doesn't want to tel
anything about it. We've beer
sweethearts for five years. The verI
first time we met we were just drawn
toward each other. OF course, We
talked about marriage, but we haC
