HIGH SCHOOL
Items Of interest Regard
ing School DOines

The organizations among the
students have helped a great
deal in the past year. each in is
particular way. to interest pupils
and parents in the work of the
High School. The Athletic AS
sociation has aided in developing
enthusiasm and spirit in all the
sports that have been taken up.
The students. being interested
in the sports. il is most natural
that the patrons of the school
become interested. Like the
Athletic Association. the Hiak
Klatawah Club helps in the
same way; all the girls of the
High School are eligible as men,
ers and most of them belong.
The hikes are TO be continued,
for one and all have enjoyed the
long and short trips that have
been taken. and expect to go on
others soon. Although the
Dramatic Club has helped in
different way, il has done its
part in bringing the students
closer together. The entertain
ments given by the club have
been hailed with delight. show
ing that the students enjoy them
and are looking forward to
others. Last. but not least. the
different class organizations
have helped in their way to
bring the students together.
They make possible in the High
School a social life which is
most pleasant. They have en-
tertained one another in many
ways. showing their ingenuity
in making and carrying out
plans of entertainment. The
class organizations bring the
students into social contact more
than any other organization in
the High School. The Senior
Glass is now preparing for their
farewell parties and much is eX-
pected of them because of their

Today's singles play in the finals
for the Davis international tennis cup
between Australia and the United
States will go a long way toward de-
Gliding the resting place of the bowl
for the ensuing year.
If Williams downs WiIding and
Mclaughlin defeats Brookes it will
mean almost a certain American vic
tory, as the Americans should be
capable of taking one more of the
singles matches. Should today's play
result in split the American outlook
will be dubious.
There is little hope for an AmeFi-
can victory in the doubles. Nc
Loughlin can hold up his end, but
Bundy is not up to the class of the
Australians. Karl Behr would be a
better partner for Mclaughlin, but

LET COUNTY BUY PARK
is Called to Benefit of Co
Owning Fair Ground.

Editor Herald There have been Il
great many articles in the Herald re-
Gently regarding the purchase of the
fair grounds. The land should be
purchased at this time, but the ques-
ton is, who should buy 1t. We have
been talking with a number of promi-
nent citizens regarding the PROPOSE.
ton and they have been unanimous in
the opinion that the county should
buy 1t instead of the city of Oska-
loosa.
The fair grounds will be used by
all the people of Mahaska county and
not just the people of Oskaloosa.
This is an ideal place for County
fairs etc, and if the county owns it,
the entire county can help bear the
expense as it will enjoy the privileges,
and therefore should be willing to help
pay the expense.
This sum would not be buuden to
anyone, IL the whole county pays 1t,
whether we pay 1t now or vote bonds
as the others have urged OskalOosa
to do. The others have written excel
lent articles as to the benefit this
property would be to us, all of which
is true and we believe most of the
people arc in favor of ii. And we also
believe that the people will be in ia
vor of the county buying it Instead of
the city. Let the county buy II and
the commissioners control it,
Let us have county park and fair
grounds. so that each person in the
county can, point to il with pride and
feel that they have. contributed their
share to its purchase and maintenance
aud will feel that they may enjoy it
because it is theirs.
