HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
lBy Dorothy FreYl

The oil pumping device failed to de-
liver fuel to the burners at the high
| school Monday, so school had to be dis
missed for the day. Wood was provid-
| ed from the old junior high and school
was resumed again Tuesday morning.
Under the direction of E. E. Fleisch
man 220-yard oval track and 100
yard straightaway was scraped off on
Gibson field Saturday. VIM. Swick
furnished the team. This is in prepar-
alton for spring activities and for the
mid Columbia track meet to be held
here in May.
The pupils who are interested in
tennis have been busy rolling and
scraping the tennis courts during the
past week. The junior high pupils are
preparing to use the old court adjoin-
ing the manual training room.
Mrs. Kramer and Miss Lulu Prather
were absent from school Tuesday be-
cause of illness. Hazel Carr and AL
berta Cars on were substitutes.
To the great delight of his class
mates in junior high, Lewis Hart won
the county grade school speaking con-
test Friday night where he presented
"Sheridan's Ride" He showed con-
siderable ability and also hard work by
both his teachers and home folks.
The Tuesday Lunch club was served
by the girls of the domestic science de-
partment Tuesday noon in the high
school dining room. Miss Helen Frease
supervised the work. J. w. Critics
was chairman of the day and presented
to the 60 men present the needs of
School Dist. No. for the ensuing
year especially the need of the junior
high school pupils who, since the burn
ing of their building last fall, have
been like ''The Man Without Coun-
try" "a group without school,.
Mrs. Henney directed Commute pro-
gram of music by high school students,
which delightfully."- entertained the men.
Several teachers, along with other
townspeople, are expecting to spend
the week end in Portland and perhaps
take in grand opera.
At the regular assembly last We'd
nesday, Rev. Delepine gave the pupils
an interesting account of the French
schools when he was a pupil and COM
pared them to the American schools of
today. Another feature of the pro-
gram was the presentation of the
winning speakers in Hood River grade
school speaking contest. Letters were
awarded to the members of the debat- |
ing teams.
For the first time in many years the |
high school is going to put out track |
team. Other schools of the Miu-Co-
lumbia Athletic League are doing the |
same thing. A few years ago spring |
track meets were of common occur
renee, but in the last few years they
have been discontinued. The meet of
the different teams will be held in
Hood River. May 6. Each team will
consist of six men who will take part
in the different parts of the meets.
Little baseball will be played although
a team may be organized. The reason
for this is because all the time will be
devoted to a field training.
Coach Fleischman thinks that there
is some very good material for the de-
velopment of track team. The thing
which the local boys lack is expert
ence. The same case is true with
other schools of the league. The spring
training will start in short time and
many are expected to turn out and
show their ability as field men.
