Mr.. S. T. Hallowell, instructor of
the commercial department, has been
absent the greater part of last week
on account of serious operation
which he had performed on his ear
Sunday. 1t was a very painful oper-
alton, but Mr.. Hallowell tottered out
to his classes Monday. However, the
strain was too great and Superin-
tenddent Briscoe was forced to take
the commercial classes the remainder
of the week. The entire student

School Notes
(By Leith Abbott.)
Sigma Chi Society Meets.

The Sigma Chi Society, which had
such successful run last year, was
reorganized' at the first fall meeting
held at the Memorial hall Saturday
night. The society is composed of
about twentyfo four of the upper class
men of the high school, and their
parties are noted for their gay times.
Saturday evening was spent with
dancing, cards, an amusing set of
vaudeville sketches rendered by the
clubs humorists, and various other
well-known party games until an
early hour, when a delightful two
course supper, which was almost
served at breakfast hour, delighted
the pleasure seekers. The attend
ance was a little bit small for the
entire evening because of the num-
ber of football players who are mem
bers of the society and who must be
home at an early hour.
Those who enjoyed the affair were
the Misses Fern Murphy, Laura Pro-
yost, Agnes Hedburg, Ruth Hadley,
Myrtle Conwell, Queritta Brown,
Edith Cole, Crystal Crocker. Dorothy
Jones, Gertrude Moore and Elizabeth
Finneran and the Messrs. Mora Bar
ley, "Clix" Delsman, Elwood He'd
burg, Fred Payne, Fred VanDyke,
Johnny Finneran, Cleo Kirk and
Leith Abbott Leslie Cunningham
and Aubrey Furry also enjoyed the
party until $3.50, when training rules

First Rally Held.

On account of the coming Klam-
ath Falls-Ashland football game the
student body, which has had a good
long sleep, was awakened Monday
afternoon by the noise of 200 husky
throated students rendering the
school songs and yells. Needless to
say this demonstration was pretty
weak to what future rallies will be.
Copies of the school songs and yells
are now on the school press and the
roofing section will become a more
definite body by Thursday. Marie
Weisenburger of last years seniors
came out to school and played the
piano for the song practice. Leith
Abbott led the students in a few of
last years yells and promised the
students an entirely new set of yells
for this years team. 1t is hoped
that the school spirit shown by this
years students will far outdistance
that of future years.

"A monster street demonstration

the evening before the klamath
Falls game, with torches, hungry"
band and, to show their enthusiasm,
with songs, yells, a big bonfire,
stump speeches, etc. This year was
no exception and rousing old time
resulted. The song and yells of the
high school roofing section will be
worth paying the price of admission
for today's football games.
S. Il. Hallowell Sick.
S. T. Hallowell, the popular com
mercial teacher, could not attend his
commercial classes Monday morning
on account of a serious operation
which he had to have on his right
ear. His ear and head started to
pain him early Sunday morning and
the most severe pain was suffered
until the operation Monday. He was
back to his classes Tuesday, but
lacking some of the eternal good ma
ture which makes the commercial
courses so we'll attended. Superin-
tendent Rriscoe attended to the COM
mercial work during Mr.. Hallowell's
absence.
