KENNEWICK DEFEATS PROSSER

Kennewick won handily from
Prosser on the local grounds last
Sunday by a score of s to 5, before
good sized crowd. The game was
full of errors on both sides, but was
interesting nevertheless. Kenne-
wick was out-hit but the luck broke
with them, especially in the fourth
inning when the first five men at
bat made the rounds on medley of
hits, errors and a perfectly executed
squeeze play. The grounds have
been put in fine shape this week
with surface of clay and Manager
Stull has been trying to land a
game with Helix, Ore, for next
Sunday.
The new suits are expected to be
here next week and the boys will
don them for the first time in the
game with Ethiopia, which will be
played here Sunday, May 25th.

THE HONOR ROLL

The high school as a whole has
made very creditable showing this
year. Especially has the standard
of music been raised to a degree
never reached in previous years.
There is also an ex cellent record in
grades. Twenty-eight of the high
school students were excused from
examinations this semester, against
twenty-one last semester. Seven
of those twenty-seven students are
seniors, nine Juniors. eight sophie
mores and four freshmen. The fol-
lowing record shows the rank and
average of each pupil exempted from
final examinations.

BACCALAUREATE SERVICES
WERE LARGELY ATTENDED
Three Congregations Unite to Hear
Sermon by Rev. Osgood
to Graduates

The baccalaureate services held
last Sunday forenoon in the gym
nasium of the high school were very
largely attended, the Baptist, Meth
odist and Presbyterian Congrega-
tional congregations combining in a
union service. Appropriate musical
members we're rendered by an Or
chestra and the high school chorus.
Rev. Rarey and Rev. Orr assisted
Rev. Osgood who took as the theme
of his sermon the text The son of
man came not to be ministered unto
but to minister and to give his life
as a ransom for many"
The sermon must have been a
source of inspiration to all who were
privileged to hear it. Rev. Osgood
brought out many fine thoughts
during his discourse, a few of which
follow, in part:
The greatest good is done, not by
seeking ones personal advancement
but by serving others. Napoleon
was very selfish. He was over
ambitious, so much 80 that he de-
sired the subsection of all of Europe
to his control.
Contrasted with the self-interested
ambitions of Napoleon, Livingstone
was cited as a noble example of
ministering to others. His life was
devoted to the conversion of the
heather in Africa, and the opening
up OF that great country to the light
of civilization.
Rev. Osgood brought out forcibly
the fact that we should not be sat-
isfed with ourselves as we are. Con-
tentment brings satisfaction; salts
faction means inactivity. We ought
never to be so satisfied with our
condition that we can sit back and
be idle. We should be alive and
active, always working for the high
est degree of advancement possible,
and seeing to it that this advance
ment is not made at the expense of
others.

MISS C0LLYER OF PULLMAN TO
TEACH DOMESTIC SCIENCE HERE

At meeting of the school board
held Friday night the resignation
of Miss Naomi Smith, teacher of
domestic science was presented and
accepted by the board. Miss Smith
has served two years and a half in
the local schools and in that time
has endeared herself to the pupils
and patrons for whom she has given
such excellent service. She resigns
because of her marriage this summer
to Bruce McGregor of Prosser.
Following other routine business
of the board, Miss Dorothy Collyer
was elected to the position made
vacant by Miss Smith s resignation.
Miss Collyer graduated from the
Home Economics department at
Washington State College in 1912,
having the unusual record of being
the brightest member of her class
and the brightest member in the
college at the time of her gradua-
ton. During the last year she has
been teaching at the college in the
department of domestic science. be-
ing assistant to the head of that de-
partment, Miss Josephine Berry.
Miss Collyer comes very highly rec
commended by the head of the de-
partment and by the appointment
committee of the State College and
without doubt will be very desir-
able addition to the present teach
ing corps of the high school. There
were a number of applicants, some
of them local, for the position in
domestic science, but Miss Collyer's
recommendations were by far the
strongest presented.
