ASHLAND HIGH SCHOOL
Various Notes That Tell of Activi.
ties in the Realm of the
Three RS.

Friday and Saturday as we'll as a
couple of days school last week on
account of sickness.
Said klamath Falls, Revenge is
sweet" said Ashland high, 1T cant
be did" So both teams ought to be
pretty well satisfied.
The Grants Pass high school stu
dent body has chartered the motor
for the trip to Ashland when the bas-
ketball team comes up.
A dance for the benefit of the
Klamath boys was given at the East
Side Inn Saturday evening. The Wis
itors reported jolly time.
The new freshman class is divided
for literary meetings as well as for
class work, the boys meeting in one
room and the girls in another.
Professor Briscoe sends word that
he hears only the best of comment
on the Ashland schools. Mr.. Briscoe
is on northern trip and when last
heard of was in Everett, Wash.
Gravy Plymate is reported to have
developed a sudden interest in beef
steak. Gravy was absent from school
a couple of days at the beginning of
the week for some unknown reason.
A number of rocks have answered
Coach Klum's appeal and have turned
out for basketball practice. There are
now quite number present at each
practice and they are making fine
progress.
In the preliminary game Saturday
evening the junior girls defeated the
senior girls by score of 10 to 5.
Grubb and Bomar starred for the
juniors, while Patterson and Miller
were the senior stars.
Gravy shut out Noel, the fast
klamath forward, in the first game
last week, the first time any man has
succeeded in so doing this season.
Noel garnered the only three baskets
his team secured Saturday night.
The senior class debates have to be
in by February 20, by order of Miss
Wagner, and the debates cannot con-
tain less than five big pages. Any
brief not in by February 10 means a
loss Of 2 per cent per day until it is
handed in.
Klamath high school met with fair
success on their valley trip, winning
two of the four games played. They
won from Medford by 19 to 15 score
and also garnered a game from Ash
land, 8 to Z, losing one to Central
Point, 20 to Is, and one to Ashland,
IA to 8.
The Dallas and independence games
scheduled for this and next week have
been cancelled and there will be no
games here this week since Yreka
did not respond to Coach Klum's Of
fer soon enough to advertise the
games. Grants Pass will probably
play here next week.
Hereafter girls basketball practice
will be held Mondays and Fridays
after school, while the boys practice
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thurs
days after school and Mondays and
Fridays after supper in the evening.
The change was made so that the
boys would not infringe on the girls
rights TO the gym on Thursdays.
Ashland broke their losing streak
Saturday night when they defeated
klamath Falls. This was the first
game won since the Cottage Grove
team played here, the local team hav-
ing lost four games in a string-two
to Corvallis, one to Grants Pass and
one to Klamath Falls. The team now
stands at four games won and four
lost.
The recent basketball games have
been very poorly attended and the
expenses of the visiting teams have
more than totaled the gate receipts.
This nonattendance was probably due
to the boys losing streak, but now,
since they have broken the jinx, they
are expecting little support. Grants
Pass is the next victim. Come out
and show your spirit.
The following is the latest song hit
of the school. II Is to be sung to the
tune of When That Midnight Choo-
Choo Leaves for Alabam' -:
When that Grants Pass special leaves
for Ashland town,
Wen be right there to meet their
score:
When we see that rusty haired Mr..
Westcott man,
Wen grab him by the collar. then
we'll holler,
Ashland town.
That's where you catch the train that
takes you back again
To the town that never wins, where
