The high school football team jour
neyed to Stevenson, Wash, last Friday
and they returned that evening tired,
| ht1t For thau rnaIl,, haak
enson, 40. Now it was different
Stevenson that played Friday from the
one that lost to US $50 two weeks
ago. They had been getting in some
real hard practice and their line was
almost indomitable. Hood River won
by trick plays and good headwork.
Tomorrow the high school plays
Camas high on our own grounds. Now
Camas has a bad reputation. They
have beaten everything they have run
up against so far. So this game should
be better than the former games this
season.
The people of Hood River should
come out more to these games. 1t is
we'll worth your while. Take an inter
est in what the coming generation is
doing. For the students certainly ap-
preciate it. And then, too, the Fresh
men. You have not been coming out
enough to the athletic contests. Not
even for the class games, which cost
nothing. You should take a greater
interest in the school. In time the
class of 1919 will be seniors and then,
if they haven't been through the mill,
Hood River high school will begin TO
| depreciate.
The sophomore class held a candy
sale last week. and if there had been
more candy to eell greater would have
been the pl~i,ts therefrom. AS it was
they netted only about $3.50.
A very strange thing has happened
at the high school this year. Usually
the boys have fun by wearing their
class colors, while the hoys of the 9TH
er classes try to relieve them of their
decorations. However, this year the
boys have paid no attention to that,
while the girls have. 1t has been an
unwritten law among the girls that no
frosb girl shall be allowed to walk as
far as across the school yard with the
frosh colors, green and white, on. And
for the past few weeks il has been woe
unto the freshman girl who displays
any nerve.
The Parent Teacher Association will
meet next Thurdsay evening, October
