HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
by d. H.


school pupils attended the dance held
at the Schmadeka hall, given by the
members of Company Z in honor of the
Girls First Aid Society. Music was
furnished by the Company E orchestra.
Everyone present had an excellent time.
There will probably be one more
Baconia Literary program this year
This program if given will be staged
the night of the school exhibit which
will be held in about three weeks. The
content of the program is not yet decid-
ed upon by the program committee but
the definite details concerning the ex-
hibit and program will be given out
| by next week if the exhibit and enter
tainment are to be given.
The "public speaking class under
Mr. Wadsworth is rapidly heading
themselves into the genius field. Mr..
Wadsworth reports that the recitations
and speeches of the members are highly
satisfactory. Since this course is new
one in high school everyone wishes for
its success in the future.
Military training in the school is still
progressing nicely, drills are held twice
q week now, Tuesday and Friday. The
company is now divided into about 5
squads, but to date the officers have
not been appointed. Mr.. Wetherbee is
quite pleased with the action of the
boys and prophesies that the boys will
develop into very excellent troup.
Next Friday, April 20, 1.-THE Country
That God Forgot will be staged at
the Lyric for the benefit of "The Girls
First Aid" The high school support
is solicited.
The Glee Club and Band concert held
last Friday, and given by the, glee club
and band members of the local high
was met with great pleasure by those
who attended. The program consisted
of solos, readings, selections by the
boys, girls and Baconian quartet, and
burlesgue on Julius Caesar. Too much
credit can not be given Mrs. Hatta-
baugh for her effort in making the pro-
gram a success and much credit is also
due Miss Brooks and Miss Erbes.
Many of the high school pupils at
tended the farewell dance given in
honor of Company E last Saturday
night. Music was furnished by Basil
Harris and Erwin Toye. Everyone
present shared in the patriotism showed
by the militia boys. Everyone reported
having very good time.
A Senior class meeting was held
Tuesday at ZOO O'Clock for the pur-
pose of discussing the Senior class play
and other important class matters. The
Senior class play is to start practice as
soon as arrangements for the staging
can be secured.
Band practice is being held Wednes-
day and Thursday this week. Some new
pieces are now being practiced on, for
future literary programs and the
Senior class play.
The militia boys left Monday morn
ing, and were given a very hearty send
off. Those who belonged to the COM
pany who left school were Chas. Turner,
Bob Burlingame, Roby Lovelace, Sandy
Gilbert ana Mack Gregg. The boys
were given their credits by the school
board so the year has not been wasted.
1t seems as tho the high school
athletic optimists are bound to give up
track and baseball. Weather condi-
tions have been so unsatisfactory that
up to date no practice has been in
dulged in, in either branch. Little prac-
tice is being held in the gym but to
date no gains have been made that
would qualify our boys in the state
track meet which will be held at Mos
cow, May 3, 4. 1t is sincerely hoped
that weather conditions will improve so
the boys can work on the outside
Because of lack of practice the locals
have bandoned the Kamiah' trip. The
boys We're supposed to go to the Kamiah
track meet the 21st, but Coach Cham
berlain has denounced all expectations
of now going, mainly because no prae-
tice has been held and also because of
the means of getting to Kamiah would
be highly unsatisfactory to the team.
Because of the success of the band
and glee club concert, it is the talk that
their program is to be taken to Cotton
wood in the near future. As to the
certainty of the rumor, nothing is
known for certain
