SCHOOL NOTES
(By D. H.

Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Potter of
the Boise agricultural school spoke to
the members of the high school and
grades, on the organization of indus.
trial clubs.
The Nezperce Grangeville interschool-
astic debate has been dropped by re-
quest of the Nezperce faculty OH ac-
count of over work in that school,
Both schools regret that the debate has
been dropped as both teams have put
much work on the debate.
The Baconian play, ''Mrs. Briggs
Poultry Farm is coming on nicely.
Rehearsals are being held every even
ing. The play is to be put on Friday,
May 18th and it will beat all comedies
ever staged in the high school audito-
rum. The entire public is cordially in
vited.
Wednesday in assembly the entire
high school was shocked to hear that
the Juniors will give promenade
Saturday night at Schmadeka IS hall in
honor of the Seniors. The prom will
start at $3.50 and all members of the
high school, alumni and the faculty are
invited. Hooray!
1t is very much regretted by his
classmates that Herbert Powell broke
his arm on his return trip from White
Bird last Sunday. The accident hap
pened from scuffling with a friend.
The arm was broke close to the wrist
and it is certain that he cannot play
baseball any more this year. The base
ball team will probably miss the boy
greatly and his position in right field
will be hard to fill with as good a
player.
Since the G. H. s. base ball diamond
is practically completed, a game has
been scheduled with the fast Fem ag-
gregation for Sunday, May 9TH. Fem,
to date has won 3 out of games play
ed, while the high school, to date has
won and lost 2 games. The game will
start at 2:30 sharp and will be preced
ed by few selections from the high
school band. An exceedingly fast game
is assured. The battery for the high
school will probably be Gilbert and
Kabot, for Fem johnson, Myers and
Bowman.
Wednesday morning the G. II. s.
track team composed Of Jake and
Emery Briscoe, John Long, Frank At
wood, Leo Kabot and Denny Howard
took the train for Moscow where they
will participate in the interschoolastic
track meet held there annually. The
high school is confident of winning
the meet and also of bringing back the
medals. Long will run the half, one
and mile races, Howard the half and
quarter mile, Kabot and Atwood the
so, 100 and 220 yard races, while Jake
and Emery Briseoe will take care of the
weights, javelin and discus. The relay
team is composed of Long, Atwood,
Howard and Kabot.
Last Saturday morning several load
ed rigs departed for White Bird to. put
on a class play, a ball game and a
dance. The troupe arrived at their des-
tination about noon. The ball game was
the first excitable event that happened.
The game was played between White
Bird High School and the Grangeville
High School in which the latter won
by score of 7 to 5. The battery for
the G. H. s. being Hurley and Kabot,
for w. B. HI. s. Chuck and Davis. After
the ball game the G.. II. s. band played
few airs and this was followed by a
bucking contest won by Jack Rhough,
of Denver. A footrace between the two
high school and was won by the G. III.
s.. After supper the band again played
and the class play followed. The play
proved to be great success and a, yer,
large crowd attended. After the play
the G. H. S. orchestra gave dance.
Rain about this time threatened the
ball game with Freedom Sunday, but
the sun came out strong the next day.
The FreedomG. H. s. game started at
10 O'Clock to allow the Grangeville
boys to start home by noon. This game
was fast and exciting and was won by
Freedom by score of to l. Games
will probably be played with both Free
dom and White Bird in the near future.
Everyone who made the trip reports
a splendid time altho many were quite
sleepy and hungry when they arrived
in town.
