HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By d. H.

Miss Elsie Westby this week is ex-
| tending invitations to many of her high
school friends to attend party which
she is giving at her home this coming
Friday.
The boys basket ball team practice
every night now. At to date a first
team cannot be picked on account of
such keen competition. The first game
will be played with Cottonwood Nov.
Goth.
Wait Don't buy all of your Xmas
presents until you have seen those of
fered for sale by the domestic Science
Department of the Grangeville High
school. Watch for further announce
ments.
The girls basket ball team practice
twice a week now, but first team to-
date cannot be picked. The girls are
being coached by Miss Longfellow and
Anderson. They will probably play
the near future.
The first Baconian Literary Society
program will be given Friday Nov. oath
in the school auditorium. This program
is guaranteed to beat any literary
society program given by either society
in the past two weeks. All patrons of
the school are cordially invited
High school yells and sons are now
being practiced about three times a
week. Some very good yells have been
selected and printed on paper and dis
tributed thruout the high school.
Dewey Yates and Bob Burlingame are
leading the yells.
Monday of this week the Sophomore
class of the local high school extended
challenges to the rest of the school for
a game of basket ball which is to be
played Friday afternoon at $40 p. m,
both boys and a girls game. The
challenges have been accepted by the
remainder of the high school and the
games will be played at the above men
toned date.
Some of the local high school band
boys are going to accompany the town
band when they go to Lewiston next
Sunday to play for the Lewiston stock
| show. Those who are going with the
band from the high school are Norville
Johnson, Willard Rush, Gay Eimers,
Earl Manning and Everett Rambo.
From all evidence the high school is
producing some excellent music talent
for this country.
| The first basket ball game will be
held Wednesday evening, Nov. Goth
when the Cottonwood basket tossers
will meet the local high school in the
high school gym. This is guaranteed to
be very furious and exciting game,
being the first played by either team
this year. The band will probably
play and rally will be held before the
game. Watch for banners and bills.
Come out and see our boys win their
first game from their old rivals.
Because of irregular attendance and
| much dissatisfaction the orchestra of
the local high school has been disband-
| ed and band organized in it's place.
The band is now fully organized and is
being led by Miss Erbes and managed
| by Willard Rush. The instruments be-
| ing played are trombones, | tuba, |
baritone, l alto, 2 clarinettes, 3 comets,
| snare and l base drum. Two credits
are to be given the members if they put
in 5 hours weekly on the instrument.
The first fire drill was held last Fri
day afternoon. This was the first drill
held this year and since that there are
so many new pupils the drill was con-
sidered very successful one. The hose
brigade consists of Dewey Yates, Jake
Briscoe, Charles Hurley, Ray Moses,
Phillip Pfeufer, Bill Manring, Charles
Farris and Earl Manning. The fire dis
tingusher brigade consists of Dugald
Holsclaw, Donald Carpenter, Emery
Briscoe,G Gay Eimers, Henry Westby,
Norville Johnston and Sandy Gilbert
Drills will be held often in the future.
Wednesday large number of boys
ordered skull caps thru Mr.. Hanson of
the Hub Store. The caps are to be of
blue and while triangle color effect
with the liter G. H. S. on the cap. The
caps are to be used in the future for
basket ball and athletic rallies
