HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
(By Minor Sweeney

The Freshmen won the first debate
and the Seniors the second. In both
cases the judges had a hard time to
decide the winners. The Seniors gave
quite a demonstration of class spirit
when they marched into the assembly
room singing their class songs When
the Juniors attempted to march N
they were interrupted by some Of
the Sophomores, but the way wa:
quickly cleared. During the noon in
termission the Juniors got it back on
the Sophomores and were only stopped
when Mr.. Kerr made his appearance.
All the classes showed great interest
and their yells filled the hall.
Commencing at $3.50 a. m. and last
ing all day, the interscholastic tennis
tournament will be played off at the
County Club and the High School
courts. The whole valley is represent
ed and some good games are expect,
ed. At noon a good lunch will be
served at the High School for q
cents. The finals will be played off
at Calexico next Saturday.
Yesterday afternoon at the teach
ers' meeting Mr.. Kerr read part Of
a paper entitled "The Function OF
High Schools in the United States.
He will finish the paper at the next
meeting.
The teachers appointed Miss Stone
Miss Nath and Mr.. Epperson as ?
social committee to receive the guest
after the concert of next Friday even
ing.
Yesterday morning at the student
tody meeting the report of the treas
urer showed that there is S125 thai

On the recommendation Of Mr. Kerr
the students appropriated S. for the
purchase of stationery which is tc
be used in sending out invitations
to a concert to be given next Friday
evening.
The two proposed additions to th=
constitution, which were posted up or
the bulletin board a week ago, were
voted upon and accepted by the stu
dents. The first pertained to the pro
gram of the student body meetings
The second regulated the punishment
of students brought before the execu
tive committee.
After the meeting, as there wer'
a few minutes left, parliamentary dri
was suggested. Mr.. Perry, officia
dog Gather of the school, made mo
ton that he be allowed a salary o
S28 per monh. He said that he hat
run in three dogs and, as the expens
was very great, he asked for a lit
tie compensation. The motion we
laid on the table.

mission ASKS help
FOR The CITY POOR

With more demands for assistance be-
ing received than usual the Sunday
Breakfast Mission is making an appeal
for help. The mission each Thanks
giving furnishes about two hundred
baskets of food to the poor of this city
and owing to the great demands made
on it so far, owing to the lack of work,
the funds in hand will provide for only
75 basketo this year. The management
OF the mission reports that many cases
of poverty are under their observation.
Among many cases that have been
called TO the attention OF the manage
ment OF the mission recently is one of
a husband who was recently sent home
from the hospital suffering with an in
durable disease, and the wife is working
to support him and five small children.
She takes in three washings on Mon
day, two on Tuesday, one ON Wednes-
day, and works the balance of the week
cleaning up and scrubbing for different
people in order to keep her little fam
! lily from want. The cases where widows
are compelled to work hard to support
their little ones arc pathetic, as i'm
many cases they have had happy homes
before death stepped in and carried off
the provider of the house. Among other
eases under the supervision of the mis-
sion is one where the husband and
