HIGH SCHOOL
Incidents of High School
Interestingly Told

The reception given in wei,
come to the February Freshmen
was a most enjoyable affair.
The genial high school spirit
made every one have a good
time so that the occasion was
pronounced the best of many
pleasant high school parties that
have come our way.
The first of the evening was
given over TO a vaudeville pro
gram in the auditorium. The
amateurs distinguished them
selves i'm various original stunts,
all of which were hugely enjoy.
ed by the spectators. AT the
close of the "show" the COM
pany numbering 80 odd. re.
paired 10 the gymnasium. Here
various games were introduced
under the efficient management
of Olive Zimmerman. and then
refreshments were served. The
committee in control of this lat
ter important part of the even
ing's pleasure carried out their
plans so perfectly that there was
not the slightest hint of difIicul.
ty. The new piano gave added
zest to the songs and helped
the minutes fly.
Tomorrow night, Saturday,
March 6. will see. perhaps, the
most exciting and interesting
game of girls basket ball sea

sends down a team which boasts
an undefeated period of six
years. The j. j. II. S. girls will |
do their best to break this rec
ord and keep their own two years
perfect. The number of tickets |
has been limited to 100 at 25 |
cents each. OF these, most |
have been already sold; we only
wish that our gymnasium were
arger that all applying for ad-
mission might be accommodated. !

stevenson on the Saturday fol-
owing.
That's brilliant idea!

The editor takes the liberty OF
appending a few words to the
above. The argument CD Mr.
Cook advances is surely most
edifying. especially that part
concerning the worth of the Port,
land Mayor and other officials.
He places the worth of the man
at the stipend he receives. Now
if Portland would pay Mayor
Albee SO. 900 a year that city
would have a mayor worth
$40, 600 a year. and so on, the
price making the real worth of
the man. Now if Mr. Cook had
not at the start stated that he
would not use silly argument,
we might have believed this TO
be such. AS a matter of fact
the city of Portland could double
the salary of the Portland may
or, and yet We would not be will.
ing TO trade our Mayor, who re-
eeiyes Sl56 per year, for Port
lands Mayor. So much for
Mr.. Cook. in winding up his
argument. ruthlessly repudiates
the only real. Simon pure cer-
.ainty that would be gained by
merging the name. and leaves
not a leg to stand on. He furn.
shes good argument that the
High School will be partially !
discontinued when he SAYS the
Portland schools are consolidat- |
ng.
The 80 per cent he mentions, !
f he would investigate closely. |

REGISTRATION IS
BIG FACTOR Of WEEK
IN LOCAL POLITICS
Democratic Bosses Seeing No Hope
For "Mule Ticket" Are
Distressed
CANDIDATES ARE ACTIVE
Republicans. Sure of Election if
Nominated, Are Hustling
For Votes
ARE ACTIVE

The announcement of the registra-
ton figures for Harrisburg has had
an effect on local politics entirely un-
foreseen. Democrats who had been
hoping to slip across a mule ticket"
as they did in part four years ago,
woke up to the fact that the Re-
publicans cannot be beaten even by n
combination of all the political forces
opposed to them. Add the Socialist,
the Prohibitionist and the Washing
ton party vote to that of the Demo-
Gratis and the total would still be short
by some thousands. The Democratic
bosses at once saw visions of their
fusion" scheme going up in smoke
unless they could create dissension in
the Republican ranks and their OBJ
1ect distinctly has been to do this ever
since. But they are not meeting with
much success.
The reorganization that has been
effected in the Republican party within
the past four years or since Frank A.
Smith was elected county chairman
in 1912, is believed to have removed
all danger of a repetition of the dis
satisfaction such as existed over al
legged favoritism in party nominations
previous to that time. The party man.
