HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By D. H.

The local high school band is getting
along fine. Practice is held every
Tuesday and Thursday evenings by Miss
Erbes.
On account of an increase in atten-
dance, new seating plans were put into
effect by Mr.. Bashore.
Tuesday the members of the high
school band elected Willard Rush as
manager of the troupe. The young man
is very capable of holding the position
as he has played in various bands the
last three years.
Monday of this week the school
| library was moved from the first to the
second floor. The change was made on
account of such large attendance
The library was moved during school
hours by some of the high school pupils.

The high school band this week was
increased in size as three new members
joined. The new members were Bert
Shrfin who plays a clarionet, Robert
cornet and Everett Rambo who plays a
clarionet. The band was surely for
tunate in securing these new members,
as the instruments they play were need
ed badly.
Miss Beth Parker, Freshman in the
local high school, entertained large
number of her high school friends lost
Monday evening, by well prepared
house and lawn party. Dancing and
playing games were INDUCED in until a

school this week were Donald Carpen-
ter and Robert Burlingame, both local
boys who attended high school here
last year. Both are registered as
Juniors. The number of pupils now
registered numbers 1913, with a steady
increase every week. The total enroll
ment of the high school will unques-
tionably reach 140 berore Christmas.
| Since that the cross country race
will be over Thursday of this week,
basket ball will then be the presiding
game. Coach Chamberlain and Captain
Dugald Holsclaw prophesy a very sue
cessful season. The first basket ball
game will probably be played with
Kamiah on the local floor about Novem-
Der 25th.
Coach Chamberlain, member of the
local high school faculty, while down at
Lewiston on Teachers Institute week,
succeeded in getting promises for has
ket ball games from the following

misses.
