The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1914-11-26
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

The football team will mix with The
Dalles Juniors here today at 3 p. IN.
The visiting team will be composed
mostly of the high school first team
players, as The Dalles teams game
with Baker on Turkey Day has been
cancelled. This should be a strong
team, as The Dalles claims and proba-
bly, is, champion of the state at inter-
scholastic football. The local team
goes into this game with two regular
players, Stanton. and Lancaster, unable
to play. Nal Button will be shifted to
full back. and Coshow takes his place
at half back, while Nickelsen will play
at quarter. Bragg, Moe. or Pape will
take Lancaster's place at guard. Nal
Button will do the kicking and Abra-
ham the punting. In three games
played thus far this season, the II. X.
H. S. team has made 95 points, while
the opposing teams have made IL.
With this ability to score the team
should win the Thanksgiving game.
However. Stanton's enforced vacancy
at full will weaken the team greatly.
The game will be played at Columbia
Park.
There are now 1877 students attending
the local high school. Eighty-five of
these are boys and the other liz are
girls. With IS boys to pick athletic
teams from the high school should
make better record in that line than
they did last season.
Instead of depending on the offspring
to take their report card home to the
family domicile to get it signed up.
sample report cards will hereafter be
sent to the homes through the mail.
There is evidence that many Of the off
spring, rather than risk an argument
with the head of the family, sign their
own report cards. The sample cards
are printed on paper instead of card
board aud need not be returned by the
parents. From students standpoint,
it looks like there is nothing to it now
but fall in with the studious ones. The
first of these will be sent out tomor-
row.
The annual Thanksgiving offering to
the Boys and Girls Aid Society of
Portland is being made up this week.
The students are requested to donate
every thing possible that is useful. A
large and varied assortment of objects
was sent down last year from here.
The senior-freshman party was held
as scheduled at the library. The hall
was tastily decorated in white and
green and orange and black, intermin-
ged in streamers across the hall. Re-
freshments of sandwiches, pickles, GIN
ger bread and cider we're served. The
cider barrel mysteriously disappeared,
but the or-freshman boys secured
the neighboring vicinity of the library
and recovered the non-inebriate bever
age. The party broke up at IL p, m,
in compliance with the requirements of
the faculty.
At the literary society meeting of
last Thursday night Helen knight
scored high and Ruth Howell and Wal
ter Nichol tied for second place. This
was an excellent program, probably the
best so far this year. The next liter
ary meeting will be held one week from
tonight, Dec. 3.
The girls of the high school will fur
nish a "laboring man" feed at the do
mestic science room tomorrow at noon.
The dinner will be served to the boys
who are supposed to do their part by
working pick and shovel or running a
wheel barrow. From the number of
boys who have promised to work, Ten
mis- Manager Porter estimates the work
should be completed and the clay
spread. Teams have been hauling clay
for the past week and everything is in
readiness for the boys to grow few
bisters tomorrow. The school board
announced several weeks ago that the
boys would have to finish the tennis
courts before they could start basket
ball and as it is about time for that
branch of athletics to open up the bas-
ket tossers have found it necessary to
go to work.
