HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
BY Betty Epping

The basketball trip to White Salmon
last Friday was hardly a success as
the score was turned against US 16 to
Is. The game was a non-league affair
so we are hoping to "get their nanny"
on their return here on February l6.
The players making the trip were
Floyd Wright, Selman Gassaway. Lee
Spaulding, Robert Henderson, Leon
Bentley Charles johnson, Roy Dark,
Karl Wonder Abe and Coach COhoon.
Lowell Nickelsen was not able to play
but gave the team his moral support
by accompanying them 1t might have
been different, White Salmon, if Nick
had played.
Hood River plays non-league game
with Stevenson on Saturday, February
10. Game starts at eight O'Clock sharp,
admission rs cents.
The local quintet will play The Dalles
team league game next Friday, Feb
ruary 8, at that city. We hope to bring
home the banner of victory on this
trip, as Goldendale defeated them So to
9 and us only 80 to 8.
Last Thursday the senior girls de-
feated the sophomore girls 10 to 8. On
the same day the senior boys beat the
soph boys 80 to II. Today at 3: 80 the
freshmen and Juniors will clash. The
dope sheet says that the Junior boys
and the freshman girls will be victori-
Gus. The frosh girls will probably
capture the championship of the school.
A week ago last Thursday the Soph-
Frosh girls score was 5-3 in favor of
the frosh instead of 55-3, which was a
misprint.
Tonight the Literary society is in
charge of Miss Sheridan, a play,
"Blundering Billie" being the chief
attraction. The rest of the program
follows: vocal solo, Lillian Brock /;
piano solo, Viva Andre; Vocal solo,
Toivo Annala. Admission will be 10
cents. The proceeds will be used to
furnish the dining room.
The silver cup for the highest honors
in debating during the 1916 school year
was awarded to Floyd Mason, 10:
Matte Jensen, II; and Pearl Florer,
II. We now have collection of five
silver cups. The cup was given by the
students body.
Jessie Lewis, 10, Helen Brosi, '19.
ad Clara Hass, 20, have received the
American Penman certificate of pro-
ficiency in hand writing. Letters writ
ten by the Palmer company say that
their work was highly commented on
by the judges, who said that the work
was an exception.
Certificates for accuracy in typewrit-
ing were awarded to Karl Wonder Abe,
Sydney Carnine, and Alfred Thomson,
all of the senior class.
Tuesday the fourth grade from Vi
ento visited us and were properly
thrilled over the event. They were
served a warm lunch by the domestic
science class.
