Hi School Notes

IT'S sad chronicle this time!
Friday night our game with Monte
sano resulted in their victory, with
the score of IL to 10. According to
some it was good exciting game.
At one time we were ahead of our
opponents and up to the last few min
utes of play the score was tied. We
hold second place In the Southwest
ern Washington Basketball League.
1t is q sad thing that after such a
game fight to the top we were forced
to be content with that position.
However, next year we will still have
Koenig, Dickinson, Hampfling, Ber-
lin and others, whom we are conf
dent will develop strong team. We
are determined also, next year, to
get victorious start, and not be
forced to be lame duck" in the
league. The students, and believe
all Olympia. are proud OF the fight
Reynolds, Stentz, Koenig, Bullock,
Kotick, tempting and Dickinson put
up. So here's to them. If they didn't
bring home all the bacon to the Cap
ital City, they brought home good
share at least
They've shown us that Olympia has
pep. dOggedness, resourcefulness and
stick-to-itiveness in a large degree.
To coach and now principal Leland
p. Brown the team owes IA great debt
for the magnificent coaching he gave
them. Mr. Brown is certainly a
whizz-bang at the game himself. and
it's a great entertainment to see him
shoot baskets.
Next Thursday night comes the
fourth Lyceum attraction, the De

Careful Pressing Prolongs
Wear of Wooden Garments
Better
Ordinary


Pressing wooden and tailored gar
ments at home is not as difficult as
many people think. With a little
practice anyone who can us an iron
and has fair amount of patience can
press out the wrinkles which wear
has put into garment, and press in
again the creases found in a new gar
ment. Careful pressing will do much
to keep wooden clothing in shape
and to prolong its period of wear as
well as to improve it's appearance
while being worn.
To press wooden garments easily
requires special equipment, but good
results may be obtained with the or
binary household equipment, with
the addition of heavy cotton cloth.
Additional Equipment.
A good equipment, which might be
acquired by making occasional addi-
lions to the appliances already in the
house. consists of an ironing board
of the type used for skirts. sleeve
board. a seam board, a tailor's press
board, tailor's cushion, irons. wax.
cloth for rubbing of the ir,n after
waxing, a press cloth, cheesecloth or
old thin muslin, and an old bath
towel.
The seam board is a triangular
board, about Is inches long and 6
inches wide, and has the upper edge
slightly rounded; 1t is slipped into
sleeves when seams are to be pressed

the Lyceum program.
The high school was well repre-

in this city last Friday, Saturday and

Charles Tyler, senior and rising young
orator, gave us talk entitled "Wel-
come from the Fellows" The high
school is proud to have one who can
talk so we'll, and who can give such
a good impression Of the old high.
The yelling at the banquet was led by
Harold Liebe for Olympia and as
most of the fellows were down at
Montesano to witness the game,
there was not great many high
schoolites there.

Members Of the committee said
the action taken WAS not final but
represented only the conc} }nsus Of

the proposed law. They had included
corn in the list and had omitted cot
