The Junior Class had a meeting
and decided much to the pleasure of
the Seniors to make the annual par
ty to that class a trip to Ilwaco in
their cars. 1t is characteristic of
the junior class to do everything up
in the best of ways so the trip will
be one long to be remembered by
all. There are in the neighborhood
Of ten cars in the junior class so the
trip can be made comfortably by all.
Of course we can all guess who will
go in Vern's car or Johns car or in
Paul's car, but think that although
they will have such charming COM
pany, perhaps room can be found
for the rest of us.

him an unusually competent authority

meets by a thread Of narrative Of ex-

those given by the Indians to the
mountain peaks and other places. The
book is illustrated with many fine
photographs. Apart from its value as
