The modern history class has cur
rent topics every Friday. 1t takes up
the Irish Question:" "The Turks in
Europe" etc. All the pupils think it
is more interesting to study something
more recent than that which is in the
history book.
The cooking class is ticking up the
study of protein foods. It is very in
teresting. We study the source, COM
position, properties and uses of this
food.
On Monday night the Girls Hiking
club members went for hike out to
the railroad bridge north of town.
They had supper consisting of weiners,
buns, pickles and hot coffee cooked
over the camp fire. Everyone had a
very enjoyable time and feel the better
for having gone.
Byron Hanncy, the Princeton high
schools champion flyweight baseball
fan, was badly frightened last Friday,
for while he was making one Of his
three base hits he was struck by the
ball. This, however, did not hinder his
good playing.
Miss Madden has just made the
startling announcement that those who
type one period day must have
twelve lessons in before the end Of
the school term Those who type two
periods a day must have twenty five
lessons completed. This means a lot
of hard work for some pupils with only
six or seven lessons finished. The
typewriters will have to keep busy
long after o'clock.
Did you ever see busy people? If
not, then you should have seen the
juniors last Thursday. Friday we had
to have our book reports in" The
Vicar Of Wakefield" written up ac-
cording to plot sequence; our note
books were due, and that always means
a lot Of hard work; and, to finish it
up, we had test. Juniors could be
seen hurrying around the school build
ing long after o'clock getting the
material for their notebooks, and Fri
day morning about 8 o'clock they
hurried back to finish up the job.
Mirth and wit prevailed at the Ath-
letic banquet Friday night. The pupils
of the domestic science department,
under the supervision of Miss Rey-
craft, distinguished themselves by
serving very delicious three-course
dinner. Mr.. Hall, the toastmaster,
called on several persons for impromp-
tn speeches. Mr.. Mcmillan paved the
way for the rest of the speakers by
showing the purpose and benefit of
athletics, and also the loyalty to the
school as result of this pastime. Mr..
Morton, referee of several games,
gave short and right-to-t he-point
talk on the interest shown in athletics,
not only by himself, but by everyone.
Miss Allen stated very clearly the
benefit and help Of the girls games
toward enthusiasm of the school. Miss
Daniels told us very convincingly why
she believed in both athletics and
woman suffrage. Roy and Theron, the
captains, realized what loyalty meant
as nobody else could Mae, firm be-
lever in athletics, gave toast to the
football team. Each person playing in
at least five games of basketball re-
ceived letter, while all the football
boys also received one. Music was
furnished by the high school orches-
ira, and the remainder of an enjoyable
evening was spent in dancing.
The local high school boys opened
the baseball season last Friday with a
defeat by the fast St. Francis team.
The game opened with Abrahamson
and Sampson as batters for Princeton.
For the first four innings both sides
were retired scoreless. It was in the
first of the fifth that the damage was
done. As a result of several errors
the visitors pushed over three runs be-
fore they were retired, then the locals
scored one. In the sixth inning st.
Francis scored two more, while Prince
ton also scored again. Johnson re-
lieved Abrahamson on the mound and
kept the opposing batsmen guessing.
The next three innings were scoreless,
and the game ended to 2 with the
locals on the short end. AS was shown
by the score the game was tight and
interesting, and were it not for the
costly errors in the fifth inning the
game would have undoubtedly gone in
to extra innings. Next Friday the
locals journey to Elk River and
promise to show the team there how to
play baseball.
