CLASS DAY
EXERCISES

Class night exercises OF the class
OF 1918, we're held Thursday night
In the high school auditorium.
Originality was the key note Of
the evenings program. The stunts
we're clever. the entertainment uni
que and the music good. A speech
Of welcome was given by the class
president. Ted Blrchard. after which
Mr., Wardrip gave medals to the four
members OF the debating team
Vivian Isham. Helen Fifield, Ella
Anderson and Mac wilkins.
The salutatorian Of the class, Leah
Parker, gave a patriotic speech that
showed the spirit Of the class. A
spirit that not only shows itself in
class affairs. but In the Affairs Of our
nation.
Tnasmuch as the senior class gave
up the Toka for patriotic reasons.
the stage was fitted to represent the
annual. Each event to follow as in
regular order.
The seniors pictures always come
FIRST and these were cIeverly shown
by the use of black curtain with
openings for their faces.
The class history was given by
Vivian Isham, showing what an II
lustrious class they had always been.
One OF the most picturesque scenes
was portrayed when the class pro-
phecy was given. Miss Parker. ciass
advisor, made delightful old witch
stirring her magic broth over glow
ing Goals. She is induced by the
members Of the class to look into
the future and foretell their lives.
As she does so each member Of the
class comes out portraying them
selves in future life. The audience
enjoyed thoroughly the artists. Jour-
nalists, fancy dancers and feminine
aviator presented to them.
Ted Birchard and Mac wilkins won
great applause and the intense in
terest Of the audience in their chalk
talk stunt. Both boys have more
than ordinary ability in cartooning
and kept the audience in laughter
during the entire Joke Depart
ment" OF the Toka.
The class win read by Mac VIII
kins paid on old scores for low
grades and actions OF the faculty.
It was cleverly written and enjoyed
by everyone.
The last number on the program
was the valedictory given by Ruth
Giesler She was not only. valedic-
torian Of her class. but received the
highest grades Of any valedictorian
OF the high school. Her speech was
good and well given. She paid spe-
cial tribute to the boys OF the class
who were helping Uncle Sam and
read letters from two OF them.
Robert Bestul and William Pollock.
Their hearts were with the class that
night and they longed to be back.
A large silk flag was then raised
and the program was ended with q
rousing class song.
A great deal Of the success OF class
night was due to Miss Parker. Dur
ing the evening gift was presented
by the class in token of her loyalty
to them. the past two years.

THE TRIP TO
TABLE ROCK

The entire class Of 1918 on Sat
urday. May II. wended their way
down the beautiful southern Oregon
highway to the famous old Indian
camp ground and battle field. known
as Table Rock. The picnic Ia an
annual affair with the Senior classes
OF @. p. II. s. and is one OF the out
standing events OF the year.
Seven automobiles pulled out OF
Grants Pass loaded to overflowing
with the 1918 picnicers. and a very
enjoyable trip was experienced by
the students. Upon reaching the
base Of the rock. a mammouth din
ner was produced and all partook Of
the grub" before attempting the
ascent OF the high rock.
Many attractive pictures we're
taken during the climb and after
reaching the top. There we're no
incidents Of interest during the stay
on the rock aside from the discovery
OF q dead horse and Miss Juanita
Parker becoming dizzy and having
desire to spring on the cliff, but
due to the supreme strength OF the
rest OF the class they were able "a
keep her from receiving such ter.

About 2:30 In the afternoon II
was decided to descend the rock and

CLASS SONG

We've reached the time OF parting
From our old High School days:
Into the world we're starting.
Our hearts are full OF praise
We sigh as all our friends we leave,
Our teachers kind and dear.
Yet ever In our memory
Are thoughts Of the Senior year.
We've given boys In khaki
And sailor jackies too.
And we've all pledged allegiance
To the red. white and blue.
But still there is thrill Of sadness
As parting though we must;
Hall to our Alma Mater
In whom we place our trust.
Chorus:
Here's to the class Of old eighteen,
Here's to our colors white and green.
Aim HI our motto will prove true,
Eighteen. we're proud OF you.

stage of braggadocio In addition to
the great yield of those grains which
belong to the international market
and possibly a large crop of corn,
which is international to a certain ex-
tent, we have the enormous value of
the cotton crop, which in bulk is not
great during the present year. But
cotton runs into money on a ire
mendous scale with prices higher
than they have ever been before. The
money goes into the pockets of the
farmers less a little shave on account
of transportation, brokerage and
storage and the South is enriched on
q grand scale. In round numbers the
cotton crop this year, including lin
tiers, will foot up in value $780,
100000. Add to this $500, 100000
from cotton seed and you have a
value of S2,330,000,000.
It was only recently that the coun-
try was Boosting of a value of ST.
600, 900, 600 in the cotton yield of
one year. 1t costs a little more to
raise the staple now than it did then,
but the profits to the proprietor of
the plantation are great. Even if
you make allowance for e-increas-
ed cost of labor the case is not diff
ferent, for that money goes to the
workers and is just as much to them
and to the country as is the profit
to the owner.

TAX COLLECTORS TO
LOSE ONE-FOURTH
NEW TAX LAW CATCHES MANY
OFFICERS. OVERLOOKED BY
TERRELL OFFICIAL.

More than so per cent. of the tax
collectors of Georgia will be penaliz-
ed one-quarter of their commissions
on the tax digest of 1917 as the re-
suit of situation that has arisen
under the operation of the new law
passed at the last session of the leg
i2lature.
April goth was the last day under
this law for tax collectors in every
county of the state to make their
final reports and final settlement with
the comptroller general. Only eighty
two tax collectors have complied with
the law by completing their final set
Elements for the 1917 tax digest and
consequently seventy tax collectors
will be penalized by the forfeiture
of one-fourth of their commissions.
Comptroller General Wright has stat
ed that he has absolutely no option
in the matter under the new statute.
He has referred the matter to the
attorney general for a legal opinion.
Among the tax collectors in this
immediate section of the state who
overlooked the new law and failed to
come under the wire in the time limit
are those of the following counties:
Baker, Calhoun, Crisp, Dougherty.
Lee, Miller, Mitchell, Sumter, Tay-
Tor, Terrell Tiff, Webster, Worth.
Tax Collector Russell, of this
county, had overlooked the new law.
He forwarded his final settlement to
the comptroller Friday night.
The old law gave the comptroller
general discretionary powers so that
he could remit penalties in cases
where the situation warranted such
action. The new law is stringent and
affords no method of relief unless
the legislature takes cognization of
the situation and acts accordingly.
Just what will result from the
pre-ent operation of the law is I'M
certain, but unless the legislators at
their coming session take measures
to relieve the delinquent tax collec-
tors a substantial sum will be added
to the funds in the state treasury by
reason of the penalties exacted un-
der the new statute

WASHINGTON, D. chairman

Isn't it strange that one meas
