Last week Miss Salman collected cents or more from all her students who were willing to give. The reason was that she wanted money to buy goodies for the pinata. This great event will take place next Friday aft ernoon, immediately after school. To be admitted you must be one of Miss Salman's students. The pinata is a very important time in all Spanish speaking countries. It usually occurs | during the nine days before Christ mas. A large olla is suspended from | the ceiling or some other high place. | This is filled with nuts, candies. | fruits and cookies. The participatOrs i are blindfolded, whirled around and t around and given a bat They try to 1 locate the olla and break it. When l it is broken those partalling in the l event scramble for the flood Of sweets. Before breaking the pinata, Spanish songs will be sung and Span ish games played. hilarious time will be had by all and it is hoped all will receive their share of the eats. Most of the junior English students received lower grades the past term than they did the preceding one. The main cause for this was the expres- sion grades. The first term Miss Andrews did not grade the pupils but | she made up for it last term. Some of the students think she grades very
 low but she gives what is earned. As | expression is new subject in the | Phoenix High school the first grade
 would naturally be low. Next month. | however, the juniors are resolved to l hafter their oradeo and fhPU will
 The fact that girls basketball is be-
 coming more and more popular was
 shown by the interest taken in the Junior Senior games last Tuesday. The game was very exciting from
 start to finish and was closely con
 tested This is shown by the score,
 20 to IS in favor of the Juniors An
 extra period had to be played as the
 score stood 16-16 at the end of the
 regular time. The feature of the game
 was the quarrels with the referee.
 Disputes over the proper manner of
 guarding arose, continually and the
 spectators came very near seeing
 hair pulling match. The following
 day the girls were still quarreling
 over the score.
 Last Tuesday the Seniors took the
 Juniors into camp to the score of 30
 to 1S. At the end of the first half
 the score stood 1S-s in favor of the
 Seniors. This shows that the Juniors
 slacked up during the latter part Of
 the game. One reason for the Jun
 ior's decrease in points was that Tov-
 req, the Junior captain. was forced out. He was the best basketball
 shooter on the floor in spite of the
 handicap of a wrenched back. Thayer and Hegeland for the Seniors and Juniors, respectively, were very bril- . liant guards. Thayer would Gribble , through the entire Junior team. time after time, and shoot baskets Hege- land was probably the best defensive player on the floor. One of the fea-
 lures of the game was the little squabbles between the opposing play , CTS. Bagley, the referee, said he never
 saw a game with go many face sIaps
 The lineup was as follows:
