The military sharks agreed that of the fighting in the next will be at 900 feet about five miles up Accordingly, Uncle Sams air service experimenting daily in effort to make engines that will not lose much power at great heights.

HIGH SCHOOL u NOTES
Coast Trip-Sure Thing


 Who would believe it? The Coyote football squad is at last really going to the coast. After all sorts of mythical coast trips there is at last to be real one. The team will play at Long Beach, January 3. unless the scene of action is changed to Los Angeles. There was a big football meeting Tuesday during the last hour of school All or the squad, the alumni committee, sey- eral members of the faculty and Coach Geary were there. Mir Geary was the main speaker He told the fellows just the amount of hard work they would have to go through; that they would have to break every date from now until after the game, and observe the strictest training rules. He then put it up to the fellows, asking them whether or not they were willing to comply with the rules Every fellow, with the exception of one promised to observe all of thes conditions. and not only that, they agreed to hold practice two times each day from now until the team leaves for the coast. The fellows are sorry to admit that one of the first team men, man who has played good football all through the season, and who will rD doubt be missed in the line walked out when 1t was suggested that any member of the team not willing to observe the neces- sary training rules. say so. This play CTS place probably will be filled by Coffee who is a veritable stone wall, or by Tex Middleton. a hard, con- sistent tackle. The first practice was called for Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock The suits were handed out again, and everything is in readiness to start the old ball rolling once more Several of the old college boys have already voiced their intentions of com- ing out to lend g hand in g>tting the team back in shape.
 Tuesday the last day of school prior to the Christmas holidays, was celebrated by two assemblies. The first of these came in the forenoon and was enjoyed immensely by students. The Sunshine Evangelists were the main entertainers Their program con- sisted of very pretty song, and a talk which was one of the most interesting given from the stage this year. The second assembly was held in the after noon during the last two periods X splendid entertainment was staged by a group of girls, who had been coached by Miss Lorenz. teacher of vocal mu- sic. and Miss Hurley, the physical training teacher.
 The second term of the F. H. S., night school will begin January ,. The term which has just expired has proven to be the most successful. by far, of any previous pear, and plans are being made to make next term better than ever.
 It sure looks good to see all the old faces back in Phoenix again To hear "Windy, who has been to Stanford, greeting everybody he meets. or to hear Lewy Irvine, makes it feel like old times.
