The Joint Board of Trustees of the
Eureka High and District schools re-
ceived a telegram Wednesday from
Charles Priest, principal elect of the
Eureka schools. stating that he had
accepted a commission in the United
States Army and resigning the prin-
cipalship. The step Mr.. Priest has
taken and his resignation came as a
surprise, and it is with sincere re-
gret that both boards accept his de-
cision to resign, and must now en-
deavor to find some one to fill his
position in the Eureka schools.
We are sorry to lose Mr.. Priest
from Eureka and our schools, for he
is an educator of superior merit and
at all times public spirited and USE
full citizen. He is a conscientious
worker in whatever he undertakes,
a man of high principle and worth,
but as our loss is the Governments
gain, we must acquiesce in his pres
ent decision, and may fortune favor
and good luck follow him.

complications that follow age. Since
the death of his daughter and the

Recently he has been failing rapidly.

JUST TO SHELTON
Over There and Back Again

A jolly bunch of twenty two
To Shelton planned a ride;
And room there was for just few,
But we all set side by side.
The noon hour came, we started off,
Each one chucked full of fun.
But soon we came to roads SO rough,
That troubles then begun.
We fought it on thru rain and shine,
We laughed, and sang, and smiled,
Till Railroad canyon changed the time,
And out of cars we piled.
There was water, water everywhere.
And not a bite to eat;
We walked and climbed, but declare,
The crowd would not retreat.
The water deep in every place,
What else was there to do,
But wade right in above the knees
And pull the autos thru.
To Shelton all the girls were bound
They only walked ten miles.
The road was muddy they all found
But all were full of smiles.
The cars at last were all pulled out
Each boy shouted hurrayl
They found the girls without doubt,
Again we went our way.
A ranch A ranch We saw light;
How happy we all feft.
We hoped thered be something in sight,
To put beneath our belt.
But talk about your getting fooled;
We didn't get bite.
So hungry wet, and very cold,
We all went on the fight.
Again we started on our way;
Good roads we had from there;
We all in Shelton soon could say,
"We're here, we're here, we're here"
Now next of the baseball I'll tell
They beat US just by one.
We ended with the baseball yell;
My, how l wish we'd won.
They treated US great, believe me;
They're just full offun;
And back to Eureka they'll all be-
Well be glad to see them come.
Back home we all started again,
As jolly as before.
I'M, Al. Wo hod fO vpond
Counted more than a score.
We journeyed on and on our way;
We stopped off here and there.
To see what people had to say;
Get home was not our care.
A creek went running by the way,
And in we went for fun.
I don't care what the balance say,
But I'd get in again.
Another ranch then came in view
We ate how much, who knows?
Now think and just compare the two
We even dried our clothes.
On home, on home. with tired eyes.
On us the moon did beam;
But all at once, to our surprise,
Were out Of gasoline.
Some came to town; some stayed to wait;
But got home safe and sound;
And for the next trip we'll all wait,
To have another round.
