SIlETZ SCHOOL
Ito late for last week.

At the Siletz school additional re-
pairs and improvements have been re
Gently made. In the gymnasium car
can be seen new goal baskets at the
ends of the basket ball court. These
new ones are exactly regulation in
size and neat in appearance. Also al
the south end of the court is the new
locker and dressing room which Mr.
Thompson has just completed.
The room between the school build
ing and the woodshed has had the
windows repaired and in place of the
miscellaneous unused scraps Of ma
terial can now be seen tables and
benches. Arrangements are worked
out for a'cooperative warm lunch plan
in which many are interested. It is
felt that this will be great advantage
especially for those who cannot &C
home for lunch at noon.
Last Friday the high school baske,
ball team went to Newport where they
played with the team Of the Newport

Saturday afternoon and evening. AL

score in the game, the boys felt that
they were we'll treated and had en-.
joyed a real excursion.

Adjutant General White, and

Captain Matthews Of Newport, were
in the city Monday with the view OF
forming a platoon here in Toledo
same to be part of The Newport
company. The idea did not tneet
with immediate favor, as the locals
wished to organize company of their
own. Adjutant-General White ex
planned that there was not sufficient
funds On hand to do this. In the
meantime a committee was appointed
to see what could be done toward
organizing the platoon.
