High School Notes

The Ashland band is to go to Med
ford with the team.
The fine weather of the last week
has caused quite crusade in the
direction of the tennis courts. Early
in the week they were worked over
so that now they are in fine shape.
Several people lately who were not
especially noted for their musical
ability have been seen with objects
which at little distance appeared to
be ukeleles, but on closer approach
it was found that they were tennis
rackets in cases.
The fine weather has also caused
Prof. Moore to look questioningly
at several excuses that were brought
to him by pupils who were apparently
in fine health.
The games with Medford are to be
the best witnessed here for several
years. 1t will be worth while to see
them.
Friday morning songless and
yeli-less rally was held in the assem-
bly,. Professor Briscoe spoke at first,
urging everyone to come and see the
games and to display more school
spirit. He called on several students
and teachers after this to speak.
Leith Abbott was first. He told of a
few things that were to be done and
also asked everyone to be at the
games. Ashcraft, the next speaker,
said that the only way for Ashland to
beat Medford in these games was for
everybody to play winning game"
from the very first. Fraley next
spoke as a member of the team. He
said that the boys would practice,
train and in every way do their part
Charley" De sman said that If I'VE
are going to have those games we'll
have to go and git EN-" Harris
spoke along the same line. Badger
and Harrell spoke as members of the
second team. Then Charlotte Chap
pelle, Mary Mathes and Gertrude
Moore said a few words in behalf of
the girls team. Helen Eske would
have talked but she said it scared her
to talk, and so she sat down. eve
notice it does not embarrass her to
talk when not before the assembly,
Then Miss Mccormack and Professor
Moore spoke for the faculty. Two
girls were sent for Miss Moffet and
two boys for Mr.. Hutchison to see If
they had anything to say. Miss Mof-
fet could not be found, but Mr..
Hutchison after some dalay came in.
He said he had just been working the
telephone, and it seems with good
results, for he said that Dean Walker
of independence, the official confer-
ence referee, was to referee the Med
ford games. He is also the only man
in the northwest with referees
license.
We will soon be able to start an
Hawaiian band. Almost all the

.(By J0nn Anderson
The new Ashland band made its
first appearance at the o. A. c. game
last Tuesday night. They played sew
eral pieces on the street before the
game and then some between halves.
The first evening practice for the
opera Carmen" was held in the gym
last Monday night. Quite a large
number OF students were present. If
everything progresses well the opera
will be given in about four weeks.
The choruses know most of their
parts now, and the only thing they
now need is finishing off.
The collection bureau for the
Rogue" consisting chiefly Of Alice
Vandersluis and "Chick" Farlow, is
making great headway. Almost every
time one goes through the hall he
finds one of them wrangling with a
wayward rook who claims that he
wasn't at school the day the picture
was taken" and does not want to
pay. To be sure, this is a very good
excuse, but if everyone who says he
wasn't in the picture really wasn't,
there would not be much of picture.
(Of course, upper classmen are above
this form Of deceit.
County School Superintendent j.
Percy Wells, Superintendent Hills OF
Medford and Mr.. Welles of Salem Wis
tied the high school on Tuesday.
They visited the different depart
ments and Mr.. Welles spoke to the
teachers training class for while,
telling them something of his work
and giving some suggestions in re-
gard to practice teaching. His work
is to go over the state and visit the
schools, to see whether their equip
ment is satisfactory and also to see
the kind of work the teachers train
ing classes are doing.
The Medford games are to be here
soon.
Professor Moore met the combined
e.onb,,oo olocc ool to1Ead ovar the
question of paying for pictures with
them, apparently with good results.
All money for pictures is to be in
Monday.
There are to be four games with
Medford. Next Friday and the fol-
lowing Friday Ashland goes to Med
ford. The whole town should go
down. Next Saturday and the follow
ing Saturday Medford comes here.
The whole town and the suburbs
should be at the games. There will
probably be a special train of enough
cars to accommodate everyone who
wishes to go to Medford on each
night.
The teachers received their month
" remuneration on Friday afternoon.
They all seemed pleased to get it and
I do not think anyone refused to take

Blasts and Assimilate Ideas
at Nezperce Convention

The fact that the weather man
sent the mercury scurrying down
TO IS degrees below zero on Tues

deter the farmers Of Nez Perez,

elected, ard Clifford was chosen

vened IN june.

was devoted to effecfing organi-
zation, appointment Of committees
and a talk ON the elevator system
Of handling grain. as against the
present sack method, by J. f.
Herman Of Genesee. He spoke
favorahly Of the experience the
Genesee farmers had gotten from
the elevator recently installed az
that place, and especially of the
tendency toward better roads for
hauling the grain to the elevator.
This is leading question with
the farmers of the prairie coun-
try, this grain-handling system,
and while no definite conclusion
was arrived at in regard TO IL dur
ing the convention. further pro
gress was made toward its ulti-
mate satisfactory settlement.
In the afternoon the commit
tee reports were made, and af-
ter a speech BY w. II. Hoehbaun
