HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Perhaps the most novel event OF
the week was the high school party
given by the Sophomores in the High
School gymnasium, Friday evening,
October %, as a masquerade. 1t was
a great success for a beginner. VINO
could feature Martha Washington.
and many other dainty little Colonial
danes. assOciating with tramps and
negroes? 1t was a miracle which
came to pass on last Friday evening
Clowns strayed in from the circus and
the, party surely presented a motley
group, sprinkled with immigrants
from Japan, Turkey, and the original
American. But, wonder of wonders,
Rip Van Wrinkle arose and came out
from the past. Then. too. wild West
erners were on the most friendly
terms with the most peaceful element.
the Shepherdesses and bright and
smiling Sunbonnet Sues. Even RO-
nance breathed and breezed in from
the dim ages and many hearts fiut-
tered ucertainly when they beheld a
real knight errant floating around
with a real modern day preacher.
Even a marriage took place at the
party and was celebrated with due re-
spect. The happy couple, our rev.
erend teachers, Mr.. j. G. Gerwick and
Mr.. Gaines, were married by the very
serious preacher, Bob Clarke, :. and
they expect to live happily ever after
Many stunts were pulled &C and every.
one was happy and having a good
time. Fortunes were told and prizes
were awarded to Madonna Webb, who
was dressed Gust like GYPSY" and
to Elmon Christopher. who emerged
from the past as Rip Van Wrinkle. XXI
Another important game of the seq
son was played last week, although 1t
was not league game and not the
first team that played. But we have
great expectations for our second
team who played Shelton last Friday
afternoon. Although they were, bea.-
en- by score of 800, they played a
good game, considering that the Shell
ton team was much heavier than the
Olympia team. =,
The Lyceum ticket selling contest Is
progressing very well and stimulated
by the division into two teams in The
high school with Edward Anderson
and Chrystine Stakemiller as captains
The number of points Monday morn
ing for each team was 1000 and1086
for Anderson's and Miss Stakemiller's
teams respectively. The sale will
continue until Wednesday Of this
week, which is the date of the first
Lyceum number. This number will
be one of the finest musical programs
that can be had. the Lieurance Little
Symphony Orchestra.
The first student assembly of the
year will be given this week by the
Seniors in the Auditorium. Natural
ly the Seniors would have to give the
first one, so that the lower classmen,
not knowing SO much of worldly mat
tiers. can pattern after us as their
models. Quite an honor, we Seniors
say. and very deserving one, too.
