HIGH SCHOOL
Incidents Of High School
Interestingly Told

After spending the previous
three days on exams, the pupils
of the ii. S. reported Friday
morning for their cards. The
Athletics of the week have
brought us additional laurels.
Two very interesting games of
Basket ball were played in the
III. s. gymnasium Saturday
evening. Feb. 6. Both boys and
girls teams competed, with the
same good results as usual. The
girls won over Parkplace with
the score of 39-6 and the boys
over Estacada with the score of
Abs. Both games were won
by hard playing and the girls
say that they enjoyed playing
this game more than any other
of the season.
On Tuesday night the girls
and boys basketball team play
ed the Forest Grove quintets at
Forest Grove. The j. j. II. S.
girls played a fast game. but
owing to the fact that the floor
was larger than they were used
to playing on they did not run
up such a large score as usual.
The Forest Grove girls scored
one field and foul and the
James John girls made twenty
five points all told. The boys of
j. j. ii. team started out strong.
winning the first three points.
However, the final score was pa
III in the Groves favor. The
Forest Grove boys have a good
team this year and are playing
better ball as the season ad-
vances. The new term opened
Monday morning with an assem-
bly, in the auditorium. "Ameri-
ca" was sung. after which Mr..
Fry made appropriate remarks.
All the students have entered
the new term with good spirit,
Freshmen as well as upper class
men.
The school has at last reached
the mark for which it has long
waited. Over one hundred have
registered for the terms work.
Besides l9 from the Central
school, there were the following
seven: Lillian Bueerman. from
Portland, Mary Boschers, Mar
tina Hotter and Clarence Martin
from Linnton, Verda Pennish
from wildwood Court and Per-
dita Fleener and Carrie Green
from st. Johns. making a total
of 26 entering as LIST termers.
The II. S. is preparing to re-
ceive a new piano for the gym.

Mr.. Anderson Comes Back

Editor Review: In issue of
22nd ult. replying to an attack
from the pen of Mr.. G. w. Mum
son that appeared in issue of
18th ult. said "the gentleman's
letter is as long on words as il
is short on logic" His latest
epistle, issue Goth ult. is proof
of my claim. This verbose gen.
tleman now says "it seems Mr..
Anderson is never happy unless
he has his hammer out knock
ing. knocking" But, you sure
ly are aware. Mr.. CIV. Munson.
history teaches that the knock
er" has made life worth living
on this planet, and if the stand
patter had not been knocked"
we would still be swinging by
our tails on trees in forests
primeval.
" 'Tis almost crime TO reason.
And more than a crime to rebel
Against laws you're forced to
comply with
On earth or in heaven or hell. "
The above is a stanza from
the poem Censorship" by X.
C. II ran in the next column to
the last wilderness of words of
Mr.. G. w. Munson. and even the
oracle of st. Johns could do
worse than catch its meaning.
In none of my letters is there
one word "prating about the
brotherhood of man." III my
critic understood English he
would know this. Webster de-
fines prating as "to talk much
and to little purpose. My OPP
ponent meets this test. This
gentleman's attempts at answer
ing my questions are specimens
of sophistry that would disgrace
any cause. On January 10Th. he
said while a legal point may
have been stretched building the
roadway" and two weeks later
January 29th he writes, 1.-THE
city council has full and undeni-
able power TO construct a road
way" Now. surely Mr.. G. w.
Munson, you'll admit that man
who accuses another of "prat-
ing" and of "his ignorance be-
ing pathetic" that he himself
ought 10 have memory enough
TO last him two weeks. For the
love of Mutt" quit word Jug

city charter that gives the coun-
ell power TO spend $4,000 on a |
