Some forty miles from the Chuck Walla water hole the worst castrophe of the whole trip occurred, namely the breaking of a water connection and the loss of their entire water supply. Mir Ferguson and Colonel Fenner who was with him at once. decided to quit the race, but their resourceful guide walked few feet from the trail and came back with a five gallon can os necessary fluid. then with the mended connection the car proceeded on its way, only to meet with another mis- hap some hundred miles further. While wallowing through the sand be- tween Mecca and Blythe they broke one of their headlights off, compelling them to stagger along in the biackest of nights with only one small carbide headlight. Some idea of the difficult ness of the trail may be had when it took them from a. m. until D. m. of the same day to travel from Mecca to Erinsourg, distance of only 129 miles.

 The White, known familiarity as Black Bess," was owned by Colonel Fenner, who was then agent for the White Steamer company. left Los Angeles with Captain H. D. Ryus now the president of the Oldsmobile company of California, which controls the distribution of Oldsmobile cars for the entire Pacific coast, as driver. Captain proved himself a driver and brought his car into Mecca over an hour ahead of his nearest competitor. At this point w. E. Ferguson of this city known as "Bill' to his friends took up the race and with the aid Of the aforementioned Desert Rat" not only won the race but won 1t after having overcome the most difficult of trails.

When the team stepped off the train in the mile e-nigh city. there was general consternation. Tovrea, Cha ney and Putney almost refused to leave the train and it took the com bined efforts of the rest of the bunch to accomplish the deed.
 Finally after proving to the south erners that snow was harmless substance. commonly used for wash ing girls faces. the trio was con- vinced that they could leave with safety.
 The Phoenix bunch was outreached and went up against much heav fer team which was composed mostly of Prescott High school play CTS. The game was very clean throughout and the most fouls were called on Prescott who were too eager to win.
 The score of the first half was 8 to IA in Pboenixs favor. The second half was fiercely fought as Prescott put in number of star players upon whom they expected to overwhelm the Phoenix players. Putney and Tkayer were the individual stars for Phoenix Tovrea outdid himself on

 The high school office is one of the busiest departments of the school. It is in full charge of Miss Jennie Bone and her assistant. It is devided into two parts, Principal R.

 The Phoenix union high school and the time will soon be here when new buildings will have to be erected to hold the throng of students that are enrolled and enrolling daily.
 The schools registration now stands at d thousand and with the Fresh men from the graded schools it will be a little hard to accommodate the beginners. The new enrolment will probably exceed the century mark. Phoenix high has more students at tending than any other high school in the state.
 Improvements have been made on the buildings so now the palace Of learning is a pride of the valley. Tourists have often mistaken the To- cal high school for the university and daily inquiries are made to the stu dents if it is not a college.
 School Run Like College
 The real reason the high school is mistaken for a university is because the plan of studies and the changing of classes every forty-five minutes causes the tourists to believe that the school is 8 higher institution of learning.
 Phoenix high school is now recog- nized by every college and university of the United States The courses offered in the school are the most difficult in the country and when the student receives his sheepskin it is well earned,
 Each class lasts for a period of forty-fiv minutes, the student is re- duired to have his lessons prepared before ke enters the class room so the entire period can be devoted tc recitation. In double periods like chemistry or physics the student has forty five minutes to prepare the subject in class
 Assemblies
 When the students wish to boost their athletics, or the principal wish es to make an announcement four bells ring out in each class room. The students are well acquainted with the meaning of this signal and they make a glorious run for the auditorium.
 Here the students are seated ac- cording to their class standing. The Seniors occupy the first seats in the house. They are followed by the Juniors, etc while the Freshmen seat themselves up in the balcony.
 The principal presides over the meetings and makes all the necessary announcements If some sport of the school needs boosting the manager or captain of the activity mounts the rostrum and makes his appeal to the student body
