HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
by Betty Eppingl


Back at H. r. H. S. again. Many
of the old ones, and many strange
faces, and especially the frightened
faces of the freshmen, who are simply
swamping the stairs and Railways.
The enrolment for the year is close to
175-seniors 20, juniors S5, sophs 4S
and frosh AZ, and We are expecting
quite few more.
Several new subjects will be taught
this year. In the manual training de-
partment Mr.. Cohoon is offering
course to those interested in carpentry
and concrete. This will be distinctly
in a class of its own. The class in
cabinet making is the same as last
year, with advance work for the second
and third year students. A class in
drawing and woodwork is also being or
ganized. Thirty students from the high
school and 80 from the grades have
signed up in this department.
Another new subject is French. Miss
Bush, the French teacher, is gradu-
ate of u. of O. in 1918. Last year
Miss Bush taught in private school in
Walla Walla and before that in Oregon
City. Miss Bush also teaches German,
and typewriting and assists in the PEN
manship class.
George r. Mcintyre, our new Sci
ence and commercial arithmetic teach
er, is graduate of McMinnville col
lege and for the past two years has
been principal of Camas, WASH. high
school, Mr.. Mcintyre will be our foot
ball and track coach.
Mathematics and history are being
taught by Luton Ackerson, who is U.
of o. graduate and who had the honor
of going to Oxford as Rhodes scholar
in 1916. This scholarship is awarded
two years out of three to one man in
each state. Mr.. Ackerson taught one
year at Richland, Ore., before coming
to US.
Mr.. Crews is our principal this year.
The rest of the faculty Is the same as
last year.
The domestic science class has an
enrolment of 80. Besides this, about
40 girls taking general science will
take domestic science course.
The school hours have been changed
slightly. Instead of seven periods Of
as minutes each we have six periods an
hour long. In this way we do not get
out until o'clock. Around 3 o'clock
many are the sighs and longing glances
at the Columbia. 1t is still pretty hot,
and kind of hard to sit still so long.
We have seven taking pest gradu.
ate course, three taking pedagogy and
four taking the commercial course.
An assembly was held Monday morn
ing to explain the new arrangements
and rules and bylaws of the school to
the frosh.
The faculty plans to let the students
have finger in the pie this year, and
is organizing student council, pres
ident and vice president from each
class to consult with members of the
faculty in punishment for hardness,
ETC., also from each class two commits
sloners to consult with the president
and vice president before they consult
the faculty.
From each room two guardsmen are
to be elected and one alternate. The
duty of the guardsman is to stand
watch in the halls during the periods
and allow no one to pass unless he has
written permit from a teacher. The
duty of the alternate is to relieve the
guard when necessary.
We were all very glad to see How
ard Widen, ex-'lS, at school Tuesday.
Howard is on a short furlough from
the U. S. naval training camp at San
Diego.
Lee Spaulding, ex-'18, is in the ma
rine corps at Quantlco, Virginia, and
expects to leave for France soon. Other
members who were of the class of 1918
are Yale McCarty and Lowell Nickel
sen, training in the U. S. navy, Edwin
Sonnichsen at Ft Candy in 18th Co.
From the junior class Roy Dark is in
training at Mare Island.
Tuesday evening a football meeting
was held. Mr. Mcintyre is very en-
couraged, and in spite of the war,
thinks we will have dandy little
team. We still have veterans, F. Won
er Abe, "Hookum" Henderson. Jack
Slaven and Lloyd Blowers, all of whom
are good strong huskies.
