More than 300 members of the junior and senior classes of the Phoenix high school attended the annual banquet at the Woman's club lasu night, it being the most successful and pleasing event of it's kind ever held, according to Sec retary Ceilings of the high school board
 Following the serving of an excellent menu a delightful program was given. with Leonard Herwig acting as toast master. Dr. Ray (. iiarker, speaking on Patriotism and Service" gave the principal address of the evening.
 In this talk Dr. Harker brought up wars of the past, what influence they had had in molding great nations and the benefit derived from the same.
 Our entrance into this great Euro pean struggle is not for the purpose of gaining revenge on Germany for wrongs she has perpetrated against this nation, but merely a matter of honor for international law" he de- clared
 Following this address it was unan- imously voted by members of the junior class to give S100 towards the Red Cross work
 ''The Future" was the subject of an address by R. Thane Cook. He told of the life upon which many of the stu dents are about to enter what dis arrangements they would undoubtedly meet, but urged that all continue straight ahead regardless of adversi- ties.

corporation commission until April : and it is therefore not entitled to pay from April l, the date his appointment was made, according to an opinion handed down late yesterday afternoon by Attorney General Wiley F. Jones.
 When warrants were last drawn by State Auditor Jesse l.. Boyce, he de- cided that MT. Proctor should receive pay from April l, the date his appoint ment was made rather than from April [. the date on which he took the oath of office and entered upon his duties
 Governor Campbell differed with Auditor Boyce, however, and refused to sign the warrant until an opinion on the matter was given by Attorney Gen eral Jones.
 In giving the decision, Attorney Gen eral Jones referred to paragraph IFS. revised statutes of Arizona, 1913, which reads as follows: Before any officer enters upon the duties of his office, he must take and subscribe the following oath Here follows oath as set forth in statutes.
 It is the opinion of the attorney general that before any officer enters upon duty of his office and that his obligation to perform such duties there in created do noA arise until said oath is filed.

ROTARY SHOW ON[ IF BEST
 IF THE YEAR

The Rotary vaudeville at the high school auditorium last evening was a diversified program if nothing else and was a most pleasing event, even for the most critical
 For the muscally inclined, there was plenty of good, yes, excellent, music; for those who had a leaning toward the dramatic. there were sketches and readings that reached home, and for those inclined toward comedy there were features that will long be remem- bered by the audience
 To Master Harold Abbott, boy so- pranO of Grace cathedral, at San Francisco, must go first honors of the evening. mere slip of a lad, Master Harold showed a remarkable range of voice. his three selections, An Irish Love Song" ''I Hear Thursh at Eve,r and "A Venetian Song" furnishing him an excellent opportunity to demon strate his wonderful tones Of this lad it must be said that he has accom- phshed what many others have failed in-the ability to bring out and hold his high notes His voice, while being markedly childish, is strong, exceed ingly so, for one, of his age. His every word and tone is easily discernible. To an encore Master Harold respond ed with Annie Laurie" in which he again proved himself capable of a wide scale
 Featuring the funny side of the pro- gram was "corking" fistic engage ment between c. Trincano alias Has sayampa Kid Michelin champion, and Russell Marvin, alias Kid Corbett, of Harmony Flats It was rumored at the ringside that the bout was fake" and it certainly had the appearances of the same. Whether or not the ref cree was a part of the plot to rob Kid Corbett of victory, or merely an innocent 'stool,' is still a question. The fact remains, however, that Has sayampa Kid went down in the final round and was easily counted out a dozen times, but for some reason or other the "Official' could not count to ten. On several occasions, he got as high as nine, only to start over again. The audience was so persistent, however, that he was forced to award Kid Corbett the victory. Corbett, the heavyweight combatant, weighed in at 93 ounces, while Hassayampa Kid, the lightweight entry, tipped the scales at a mere 367 pounds.
 The program was opened by several selections by a string quartet. The numbers were popular and pleasing. A reading. ''The Convict's Christmas was given by John Birdno. Mir Bird no gave a fine interpretation, and on encore, proved even more popular.
 The first part of the program was concluded by sketch. Domestic Storms" by Miss Anna Monihon and Ham Shakespeare. This sltit gave an excellent exposure" of the domestic turmoil existing in many homes.
 A native American quartette opened the second part of .the program with instrumental selections. Chaies II. Ellis imperSonated famous characters in fact and fiction The third number was an 'Impersonatore Grandioso," by the champion retired bull fighter. Master Harold Abbott again appeared, this time in piano specialties. The final number was Rotary Hell,"' in troducing his Satanic majesty, other RQtarians and Ebenezer fGphraim Black
