WENATCHEE VALLEY BOYS
AND GIRLS AT STATE COLLEGE
The Pullman Schools are Drawing Lar
ger Number Every Year-What
they Are Doing.

The state college Of Washington at
Pullman is becoming more popular
every year with the young people
OF the Wenatchee valley who go
to colleges. This year there is an in
crease Of nearly ten per cent in the en-
rollment from Chelan County over last
year.
Wenatchee Valley students who are
attending the state college this year
are: Stanley T Arnold, Katherine Con-
ney, Henry Hartman, julius Holman,
Esther Horan, Alice Mary Lodge,
Harold p. Misel, Roy Larson, Percy
Gooden, w. R. Mills, and Kellogg
Carlyle.
Probably OF most interest to Wenat-
chez valley residents is the Apple Show
held at the state college the first part OF
November. Roy Larson, of Wenatchee
was general manager Of the show which
was the second of its kind held. The
Wenatchee North Central Washington
Fruit Growers League received Silver
Cup for the Best District Disply OF
apples at the show. Julius Holman
and Henry Hartman also assisted with
the show.
Professor Severence head OF the agri-
cultural department at the state college
| is advocating the growing OF peas for
the farmers Of Washington. He says
eastern seed companies have discovered
that this state is one OF the few places
where good clean pea seed can be
grown and the farmer will therefore find
good market for this product. 1t is a
crop that can take the place Of summer
faIlow on wheat lands and leaves the
ground in rich and mellow condition.
From 25 to 80 bushels Of peas to the
acre is an average crop in this state
and the seed companies pay from Q "a
to cents a pound for the seed. They
furnish the seed to the farmer, who re-
turns it in like quantity after the harvest.
Probably the most interesting social
function given at the state college this
year was the formal banquet and dance
the Pi Beta Phi sorority held, Friday
evening, November 18th. Many alumni
OF the sorority returned to the state col
lege for the event. A beautiful dinner
was served at six clock at the chapter
house after which automobiles took the
girls to the big gymnasium on the col
Ilege campus where the dance took
place. A solid ceiling had been made
entirely OF evergreen boughs from which
hung myriads of futtering butterflies.
In one corner OF the room hut had
been constructed, covered with greens
in which punch was served during the
evening. Over one hundred chrysan-
themums were used in the decorations.
Many sacks OF green's and ferns had
been received from the coast to decorate
with. Cozy corners were prominent.
Favors for the girls were kewpee dolls
and for the men, violet buttonhole bou-
quets. A feature OF the evening was
the dancing Of the quaint minuet by
eight girls. Miss Marshall Of Spokane
whistled a number Of solos and Miss
Fora Giffin, an alumnis sang. Miss
Alice Lodge and Esther Horan, both ol
Wenatchee are members of the Pi Beta
Phi sorority who gave this party.
The following students are from En-
tiat. Albert Ely, freshman in Agri-
culture; Charles G King, Junior in
Chemistry and L. S. Mckay, a sopho-
more in Chemistry.
Carlyle Kellogg Of Wenatchee is pro-
minent in debate work at the state col
llege, and is trying out for the big Idaho
State college debate which comes of
some time in December.
