High School Notes

day the students received the verdict
"Those excused from the examina
tions are" Those who were ex
cused did not need to attend schoo
until Friday morning. Then the
schedule for the new semester was
run, with much shortened periods
and the lessons assigned. The report
cards were given out also, which
caused no little excitement and gave
rise to no end of comment in some
cases.
The post graduate girls are think
ing of organizing a basketball team
with which to uphold the name of the
class. The "P. G.'s" are stronger in
numbers this year than ever before
and would no doubt triumph over the
other classes in the manly sport.
Work is progressing at rapid rate
on the opera Carmen" No regular
choruses have been organized, but a
very good practice was held at the
high school Thursday afternoon. The
choruses will be organized this week.
All doubt as to whether the opera
will be a success may be put aside
for the students are taking to the
music like ducks to water" One
would think bunch of professional
singers had been turned loose in the
school room instead Of some high
school students. Not quite all of the
cast has been chosen yet, but those
that have are working hard.
The debate team, which consists
of Cleo Kirk, Raymond Badger and
Ernest Abbott, with Aubrey Redifer
as alternative, met a Talent team last
Friday evening.
Eugene is to be the next visiting
basketball team. The boys are in
good trim, and from the work dis
played in the klamath Falls games
will surely carry off the laurels.
Eugene has a good record, though,
and the games will probably be well
worth attending.
There has not been enough en-
thusiasm displayed at the games late
ly, especially between halves. Every
one sits back and takes ii easy until
the game is resumed. This is more
true of the students than of the
townspeople. Now the students are
just the ones who should yell. Why
not go out there and yell until hoarse
and then drag the old piano out onto
the floor between halves, and if you
can not sing why, just croak. This
backwardness may, in part, be caused
by not knowing the songs and yells.
But even if one does not know the
words he can hum the tune or roar.
In order to give people chance to
learn the words, two of the new
songs are given here Cut them out
of the paper and take them with you
or learn the words. Then when you
get out to the high school do not sit
around the wall, but come out around
the piano and sing-students, alumni
and everybody | will not vouch for
the meter Of these songs given below,
but l will say that they are good
tunes and the words fit them:
Tune, FLOATING Down the Old
Green River"
When our forwards and our centers
Pass the ball right down the old gym
floor,
With the rooters right there,
Crying, "Fraleys bear"
We will raise that old score
With a few baskets more.
Go to it, Climax, you're holding your
man;
Go to it, Grisez, for we know you
can!
For we will win that game from poor
old Eugene,
And we'll stand by Ashland high.
Tune, Down on Bom-Bom Bay"
If you're looking for treat,
Just come out and see us beat.
We will win this game,
Keep up Ashland's fame,
For we know you'll try
And do your best tonight,
For our Ashland high.
Chorus
Dear old Ashland high (rah, rah,
rah, rah, rah),
For you we will cry (rah, rah, rah,
rah, rah).
We will do our best
If you'dd do the rest.
Ralph is just the man to make an
other basket (yell). Just watch
him!
Well get Eugenes goat,
And we'll get him by the throat,
For our boys have got the pep,
And they know we all will hep!
