Three new pupils enterd the high
school last weekday Warman, Ell
roy Bowen and Emil Kuch, all of
whom are sophomores. They must
have been sent by Providence to
console Howard Roach, who up to
this time had been the only boy in
all his classes, surrounded by a host
of girls We wonder if he really well
coined them or not, but we think
he did and we are sure that every
one else did. Also two new girls,
Gale Gilbert and Rosa Pendleton,
are added to the ninth grade. The
coming of all the new members ne
cessitates the establishment of more
desks at the front of the room. For
few days everyone was quite be-
wildered by the additions to each
row and it was a common occur
renee to find oneself in the other
fellows seat just ahead of where
we should be. However, we are
again sure of our particular loca-
ton and are pleased to have the
new members of our worthy school.
Tom Lake has also enrolled in the
9th grade.
Miss Cole wishes to voice her re-
grets to the ancient history class
that it is impossible to give every
one a seat near the window.
PhilO Patriotic Night
Friday, March IS, was the big
evening at the Leavenworth high
school. All sorts of interesting and
surprising events occurred in quick
succession. Promptly at o'clock
program was given in the audito-
rum by the Philomathian society. A
large crowd was present to witness
the performance and everyone
seemed pleased with every number,
which from critics point of view
was quite worthy of praise. The
platform was attractively arranged
with headlights as well as footlights
which illuminated brightly our glo-
rious stars and stripes which were
draped artistically across the stage.
The last and perhaps the most eff
fective number was an address
given by Roswell McNett in which
he gave an account of the world
through the eyes of soldier; first
of his life as a raw recruit, then as
regular, then telling us of his
trip to Hawaii, involving many in
tresting things concerning that is
land and her people. Later he told
of his return to the states. He
closed his speech with a most pa
triotic opinion of his attitude toward
the United States government, and
what a year with the army had
taught him. 1t is the very least to
say that his entire narration was
highly interesting to everyone, due
not only to his excellent deliverance
but also to the fact that he is one
of our high school boys and it is
very interesting to everyone of us
to learn of his experiences as a
brave volunteer to aid his country.
Fridays Ball Game
Leavenworth's team put it all
over the Wenatchee All Stars last
Friday night in a rousing contest.
Although the first half was livelier
and full of more brilliant plays the
whole game was an interesting one.
Amid cheers and shouts of victory
the game ended in a score of 1872.
Leavenworth's lineup was as fol-
lows: McNett, forward; J. Smith,
forward; Richie, center; B. Smith,
guard; Hartman, guard.
SOCIAL
The browning event of Friday ev-
ening was the surprise reception
for Roswell McNett, given by his
old schoolmates who were members
of the Philomathian literary society,
to which he belongs. The sewing
room was converted into a living
