HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Dorothy Frey


This is Christmas week in thC
schools, and Christmas week is chill
dren's week everywhere. Every room
Of the Coe primary and Park Stree
schools contains a Christmas tree be-
coming more and more resplendent al
pupils and teachers add the glittering
decorations. Suitable exercises will
be held Friday afternoon, in each
school followed by an early dismissal
The high school had a short program
at assembly Wednesday. The Junior
high pupils will have a party with
their teachers Thursday night from Z
to 8, to which parents are invited. All
schools will close Friday for the Christ
mas vacation and resume again Tues
day, January 3. Many of the teachers
whose homes are elsewhere will leave
Hood River Friday evening. Several
are planning to attend the Oregon
State Teachers Association in Portland
December 27-30. County Supt. Gibson
and City Supt. Cannon will go as dele
gates from Hood River.
H. j. Frederick is busy with force
of men putting in new truss work to
support the roof on the old part of the
high school building, a part of which
was damaged by the last snow.
Miss Helen Frease, of O. A. c., ar
rived Saturday night and took up her
duties In the home economics depart
ment Monday morning in the place of
Miss Grace Smith. who will be absent
for some weeks on account of illness.
Miss Frease was assisted Monday by
Mrs. H. G. Cooper, who had charge of
the classes last week.
Miss Ethel Kelleher was absent from
the Park street school Monday because
of illness. Mrs. Clara Rowland was
substitute.
Miss Marion Howe was absent from
Coe primary three days last week. AL |
berta Carson was substitute.
Miss Helen Hershner. of the high
school, was a substitute for Miss En-
ma Schmiedeskamp. who was absent |
two days last week from the Park
Street on account of bronchitis.
The high school auditorium was the |
scene of a fast, exciting basket ball |
game last Friday night. The Blue
Diamond aggregation walked on the
high school boys to the tune of 35 to
20. The game was won as the result |
OF greater experience. 1t was featured |
by many sensational shots by both |
teams. The stars for the Blue Da-
mond team were the Byers brothers.
Otto and Jack The latter formerly
played on the high school team. John
son and Swick outshone the rest of the
high school galaxy by their consistent
playing and sensational shooting. The
high school boys were handicapped by
the lack of team practice. They have
a wealth of material and Hood River
may expect great things of her high
school team this season. The Blue Dl-
Amond aggregation looks to be about
the best representative town team that
has been put out for some time.
Hood River should support athletics
more. Its teams lack the moral sup
port which constitutes the winning
spirit. Let's go, Hood River, and beat
The Dalles in everything; in spirit,
and in being good
'portsmen.
