HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
By Catherine Carton

Last Friday afternoon Col. John
Leader spoke before the high school
and junior high students. Col. Leader
was in the battle of Somme, so he was
able to give us very interesting talk /.
He not only told of the tragic side of
war, but also told many amusing
stories of the trenches.
Thursday afternoon Prof Gregory. a
representative Of the faculty of the
University of Greg IN, spoke to the
seniors. His talk was very interesting
as we'll as helpful, as it was on the
choice of ones life work.
A short reception was given in honor
of the Lincoln basket ball team, under
the auspices Of the Tri Beta club
Many pleasant acquaintance were
made between the visiting team and
the high school students. Refresh.
nent were waters and fruit punch.
The high school jazz band added great.
ly to the success of the evening by
playing many enjoyable numbers.
One of the most interesting basket
ball games ever seen in Hood River
was played last Friday night between
the Lincoln HI delegation and the To-
cal quintet Lincoln Hi won the state
championship last year. SO an exciting
game was expected, consequently the
largest and most enthusiastic crowd
ever turned out.

Industrial Exemption.

Conscription boards have their trou-

Recently the Scott>burg board sent
mp papers Of man who sought eX-
emption because of marriage since Au-
gust D 1918. In due time the papers
We're returned by the appeal board with

for exemption on industrial grounds on
the papers instead of the one intended
