OLD CLIFTY

Towering majestically above the
surrounding slopes, Old Clifty sent
dark shadows streaming over the
whole range as the sun slowly de-
scended in the west. The snow clad
peak and dark ravines were set off In
extreme beauty by the virgin forest
OF pines and frs that extended about
half way up the sides. On one side OF
the peak small hut could be family
recognized. The peak itself seemed
to shout challenge to the world to
climb it. A small winding path. like
a serpent's back, wound down one
slope and disappeared in the timber.

Senior Notes
SENIOR SNEAK

Senior Sneak Day was carried out
this year with more zeal and enthusi-
asm. AS Miss Brackin came from her
room Wednesday morning, she was
greeted by enthusiastic Seniors. She
was then and there kidnapped.
taken to breakfast and placed under
the guard of Senior.
During this time some of the re-
naming Seniors overstepped their
rights, and un-be-known to members
Of the faculty, searched the "eating
places" of Bonners and dragged Miss
Wenz from her breakfast at the Grill:
About this time Miss Geiger started
from her room to breakfast and some
Seniors got bright idea and thought
Well take her too. AT this Miss
Wenz and Miss Geiger were ushered
into the Idaho to also breakfast at the
expense of the Seniors. The three
teachers were escorted to the Enter
prise where they were again placed
under guards and given two min
utes" to get into hiking clothes; and
then they journeyed to Creston.
They ate in the rain; played ball
in the rain and then some good people
of Creston gave them possession of
their confectionery store where they
spent the rest of the time dancing.
They all started home together, but
due to engine trouble, punctures, no
lights and million other things they
arrived home at varying hours. The
last car drove into town at one-thirty
all singing "Merrily' Merrily' Merrily,
Merrily, Life Is but a Dream
The seniors had a good time in spite
of Fate being "again" them, and now,
like good sports, are paying the pen
atty.

THE SENIOR BALL

One Of the most charming social
functions of the school year was the
annual senior ball held at the X, p.
hall under the direction of Miss
Brackin, the class advisor.
The hall was very attractive in a
color scheme of pink and green, carried
out with cherry and apple blossoms
and cedar boughs. There was a false
ceiling of cedar boughs and along the
wall the seats were divided into booths
by lattice work from which hung
cherry blossoms and sweet peas. In
one corner of the hall was a rustic
booth which gave the appearance OF
an old fashioned we'll, from which
several maidens served punch. The
platform for the Bush orchestra was
also transformed into bower of
flowers.
Little Miss Gay Bonman and Donald
Cowen held the baskets of programs
Professor and Mrs. Kerr led the grand
march, followed by all the members OF
the senior class and the guests. The
patrons and patronesses were the par
ents of the seniors.
Miss Brackin and the senior class
are indeed to be eomplimented upon
the wonderful success of the senior

WALKING

Walking is the best kind of exercise
one can take. When you go out where
there is something new it makes Won
a good observer, and that is such a
pleasant quality to have AS you look
at the mountains, sky and trees and
all the growing things, it develops
a love of nature. You have chance
to think and plan and work off any
irritations you might have The exer-
ton forces the fresh air into youl
lungs, and the wind whips color into
your face. OF course, you should not
continue until you are exhausted. but
only until you get to the point where
you are fairly tired 1t strengthens
the legs and takes off superfluous
flesh You eat and sleep better and
this soothes the nerves and promotes
good digestion. AS it becomes a habit
you find a great deal of pleasure in it

If GAME SEASON SHOULD BE OPEN

The game in this country is being
greatly diminished and if the season
does not close for several years the
game will be all gone. Some people
think that the seasons for birds and
deer should open earlier than they do
and last longer, while for ducks, they
think it should not be open so long
1t should be the opposite to what they
think. The ducks migrate and not
many hatch here while the birds and
deer stay here all the time. There
has always been bounty on the
harmless bear to the sum of ten
dollars, while the coyotes, which are
far more injurious to the wild game
and also to tame fowls, has only a
bounty of two and one-half dollars.
and their hides are worthless in the
summer and not much good in the fall
The streams are becoming fished out
and not many fish are being put in
again and this is spelling all the good
fishing. Therefore, think the season
on all kinds of game should be closed
for several years and officials ap-
pointed to watch the country for out
laws and law breakers.

/ was confident he would make it go /:
it makes me proud to have my boys

young fellows and help them up the
road to success. Look at the men who
started with me. There's Wilson, vice
president of the Standard Oil Co. !:
Thompson who made fortune in New
York. / held on to them and when
the right thing came along, I said Go
to it boys and I'll help you all l can.

After hearing Jones / thought OF

ful Characterization. Carol Aldridge's
Characterization of Liz" was excep-
tionally good.
Line Rlpatti played the role of the
old maid aunt with much grace and
dignity.
irene Andrews was well suited in
the role of Elaine, the Ward"
Gertrude Jacoby in the role of the
deaf landlady, who was continually
bemoaning the loss of her dear An
enebarbus," added much to the humor
of the play.
The three leading male characters,
Tom, Bob and Jerry, were we'll played
by Russell Melin, Homer WEIGH ana
Ambrose Boileau. They were typical
"fellers in a scrape."
Fred Durose as the eccentric old
uncle, carried off his part with I'M
usual ease, and Allen Shultis, as Bling,
brought many a laugh from the audi
ence.
The cast was carefully coached and
staged by Miss Bracken, senior class
advisor and Miss Wenz, English in
structor. A great deal of the success
of the play should be accredited to
these two who spent SO much time and
effort in the directing of the play.

THE DRIVE

Looking down the river, you can SEE
the lumberjacks prying the logs off the
large deck. When the logs are all
loosened and started down the river
the drive" has begun.
A large crew follows the first logs
to prevent a Jam" which may be
caused by just few logs that catch
ON some immovable object This is
dangerous work, for the logs often
shoot twenty feet into the air, be-
cause of the pressure Of the river and
logs behind.
In the rear of this drive" you can
see several large bateau carrying the
provisions and the tools, as it takes
a few weeks to make this trip.
Following the logs down the river
until they come nearly to the mill you
will see the men fill up the sloughs
and put boom around them so they
cannot be washed away until they are
needed in the mill pond for saving.
These drives" are handled by
skillful men trained for this work
This is the main way of transferring
logs in the lumber regions.

DISTRICT NO. 4

they have good sum, go back to their
own country. Ii the United States
needs them, there are not many of
them anxious to fight for her as was
shown in the last World War, in the
case of the Germans and many other
nationalities. Besides these things,
almost all of the Europeans who came
here are of the lower class of people.
and are the cause of much of the filthy
living in the slums of cities. IL you
go to that part of a city which is in
habited by foreigners you can see this
for yourself, for when a group of for
eigners live in a separate part of a
city it is always dirty and unhealthy
in that district. If ban were to be
put on foreign immigration, at least
of the lower class, it would help the
American standard of living in many
ways. Glen Crissey, '23.

WHY B0NNERS FERRY SHOULD
HAVE AN UP-T0-DATE ID. 8. ROOM

The domestic science room of Bon
ners Ferry high school is entirely too
small to be used as kitchen, dining
room and sewing room The whole
basement at least should be given to
the D. S. subjects. A kitchen, not so
large that it tires you to walk from
the stove to the cupboard, should be
separated from a complete dining
room by small pantry or sewing
room. The sewing classes should
have complete room of their own.
The combination of dining room and
kitchen is very annoying when serv-
ing a banquet to the patrons because
the smell that comes from the cook
ing permeates the dining room, killing
the odor of the flowers and is not at
all pleasing. Also the equipment is
not nearly enough complete. When
preparing for a banquet or Patrons
day, every store in town has to be
ramsacked for enough CUPS, other
dishes and silverware, and by the time
this is found, washed, the people
served, the dishes washed and re-
turned the d. S. teacher is nearly a
nervous wreck.
Individual gas plates, or electric.
should be installed and also an oven
and stove large enough to cook sixty
pounds of meat without difficulty.
There are many other reasons too nu-
merous to explain, why Bonners Ferry
should and ought to have a complete,
equipped domestic science room.

THE BONNERs FERRY sAWMILL

On its seward course the Kootenai
river flows around a small island just
above the city of Bonners Ferry, af-
fording a location for the Boomers
Ferry sawmill.
Looking down on this scene at night
from higher ground on the north side
of the river ones eye is first at
tracted by the dancing lights on the
water These are the reflections of
the hundreds of bright lights in the
mill. Columns of smoke are various
ly colored as they first arise and grad
ually fade into the darkness. Dark
towering mountains behind it form
the background. The blue sky, dotted
with myriads of stars, is rivaled by
the beauty of this brightly coIored
scene. Ones mind is so filled with
the beauty of it all that one does not
think OF the toilworn laborers within

THE OLDER BOYS CONFERENCE

Several of the Older Boys Confer
ences have been held in Idaho but
none before as near as Standpoint. The
Older Boys conference is held under
the auspices of the Young Mems
Christian Association.
The day before the conference took
place, A. E. Yount, interstate boys
secretary of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, gave a talk at the high school
inviting the high school boys to at
tend. Owing to the senior ball. there
were not many that could attend; how
ever three boys were sent as repre-
sentatives of the school
The total cost of the trip was the
fare down and back and one dollar
registration fee. The conference
lasted for three days, during which
time the out-of-town visitors were
given every care possible for their
comfort and convenience. Among the
speakers at the conference were A. g.
Yount, interstate boys secretary; a.
d. Brewer, of Spokane, d. o. Ferell
physical director of the Y. M. G. A.
Spokane, George B. Cole, boys secre-
tary of Washington, and Dean Ed
ridge, of the University of Idaho
A banquet was given at the G. A. r
hall on the second evening Of the con-
ference by some of the matrons OF
Standpoint.
On Sunday, the third day of the con
ference, the boys attended their diff
ferent churches and a farewell meet
ing was held at z o'clock.

A NIGHT IN YELLOWSTONE PARK

1t was about six o'clock in the eve
ming when we came to suitable
camping place in the Yellowstone
park. There were about three hun
dred cars at this place. The Yellow
stone river was just below, and many
people were standing ON the bridge.
We soon discovered that they were
fishing. The trout were there by the
thousands and you could catch all you
wanted, just as long as you did not
waste them.
My father and brothers went fish
ing as soon as we had set up our tent
and fire started to cook supper. In
few minutes they had caught all we
could eat. 1t was just the right time
in the evening when they were biting
best
After supper was finished, it was
time to go to bed. We undressed and
crawled in, as we were worn out from
the days excursion. We had not been
in bed long when suddenly we heard
a terrible rafting of pans and dishes
in the car. We all jumped up and ran
out, and to our surprise we faced a
huge black bear. He was merely help
ing himself to what he liked best. He
was a very brave creature, and sat up
and growled as if daring us to touch
him. He then got down and started
off with the sack which contained our
frying pans. We ran after him and
threw sticks at him, until he finally
dropped the things and ran in dis
gust. The next morning we found our
coffee and many other articles dis
tributed about the camping grounds
But we soon found that we were not
the only ones who had had a visitor
during the night.

Janus Column

Mr.. Breckenridge OF Standpoint Wis
tied the school Tuesday.
The pupils of the ancient history
class were astonished one morning
when Miss Cargo cracked a Joke!
YAH Honest.
When the seniors "sneaked' it was
amusing to hear what some OF the
frosh had to say. One said "They
surely didn't graduate because they
haven't got their diplomas yet, have
they?"
During Miss Gleed's week Of absence
Miss Hellriegel led us in singing. One
morning all we sang was lullabies.
She must like them.
Wonder what central thought was
going on at the B. r. II. S. Wednesday
morning, May 3.
One day the teachers appeared with
naked ears. Miss Hellriegel proved
to be piker, for between 9 and 10
She reappeared with her ears duly
covered.
The following teachers will return
next year: Miss Wenz, Miss Bauer,
Miss Hellriegel and Mr. Kerr and Mr.
Bonman
Boomers won second place at the
annual track meet at Standpoint Tues
day Teddy Kent made 90 points.
Keep it up Ted.
Miss Jones of Moscow Will be the
domestic science teacher next year
and Miss Kerr of Moscow will teach
history. We are not sure about the
other teachers.
Miss Geiger wants to teach in a
warmer climate next year so she has
resolved to go to sunny California.
We are all sorry to have Miss
Hollier leave us next year Maybe
she's found man to feed.

TENNYSON'S WORKS

Crossing the Bar" written by AL
fred Tennyson, explains that in the
passing of life he wishes to be ready
for the call" He does not wish to
leave in sadness and sorrow but to
have a good, honest life and record
and be happy that his time has come
to enter the next world II he leaves
thus he may meet his Pilot face to
face after crossing the bar.
The poem is popular because 1t re-
yeals the real inner feeling of the
author, an aged man at the time the
poem was written. Many of Mr.
Tennyson's works of song and poem.
have something in them concernina
the sea. He often said that the sea
was his best comfort during times o.
sadness and sorrow.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION

Foreign immigration should not be
allowed in the United States. In the
first place, it is hard on the working
class of American people. The for
eigners, especially those from the
Orient, work much cheaper than the
American. They do not need muck
money for they can live on almost
nothing and the American, who likes
decent living, is put out of job by
these foreigners. Some companies,
especially the railroads, hire large
groups of Japanese in their own coun-
try, and pay their expenses to the
United States in order to get cheaper
labor 1t is arranged that when a
Japanese, hired by one of the COM
panies, is out Of a job, he is given
money to live on until an opening
occurs and he is given work when a
white man cannot get it. If you will
notice, you will never see Japanese
out of work, at least not for very long
Then too, what we need in America is
one hundred per cent Americans
These foreigners do not care much for
the country. What they want is to

he thinks that the lions terrible roar
will brighten the ladies. To make
things more ridiculous, during an in
PERMISSION in the rehearsal of the play
in the woods near Athens, Puck puts
an ass head upon Bottom. This
frightens the other actors in the play
Bottom, to show he is not afraid walks
around singing Titania, the fairy
queen, falls in love with him when she
wakes from an enchanted sleep. After
all is over he thinks that it is dream
he has had where the ass head was
put on him. Bottoms friends think
that Bottom is the only person to make
the play come out as it should.

THE OLD SCH0OLHOUSE

The little log schoolhouse was al
most invisible among the trees. Its
windows, through the gloom. looked
like pair of eyes searching the dark
ness for some lost thing. It's low
roof was covered with the leaves that
made gentle rustic as they fell from
the trees above. An owl, perched on
the branch of a dead tree nearby
hooted and screeched out his discon-
tent, making the place more ghostly
and the quiet more intense when he
became still. Dark shadows fitted
through the underbrush, and off in the
distance a wolf gave forth an eerie
wailing cry, to be answered from q
hilltop behind the schoolhouse.

FIRES ON FOREST RESERVES

One of the many problems of the
United States government is the dam
age done by fires on the government
forest reserves. Although there are
many forest rangers who watch for
fires in the summer seasons, it seems
impossible to stop the fires which ruin
valuable timber.
When we ask, What is the reason?'
the answer comes, THE American
people are not trying to help prevent
these fires"
Besides the damage done to the
trees, the wild game is being driven
out of the reserves to higher regions.
The people who live in cities and
those who do not live near these for
est reserves cannot realize how piece
of land looks after forest fire has
passed over it. But l, for one, can
see the picture Not many years ago
some friends and myself were going
camping to a spot which had always
been green and cool in the hottest of
summer weather. There was a little
creek running through a strip of land
about so yards wide. All around this
place were medium sized cedar and
spruce trees. The ground was Gov
cred with needles, and one could easily
walk all around without making a
sound. This spot seemed to be home
of the birds; they were very numerous
and they were never quiet.
In the center of this little piece OF
land were two immense cedar trees
which stood side by side like two large
sentinels, whose duty it was to watch
over the smaller trees. Can you not
imagine our despair and chagrin when
we found, instead of this, which l have
Just described to you, a place which
was burnt over, and left brown and
barren.
The needles on the ground had
caught fire and nothing was left but
ashes. The creek was filled with
burnt brush and limbs, for one of the
large cedar trees had been burned
down and it had fallen across the
creek. For miles around this place
everything was also burned
Our camping ground was ruined as
well as our camping dinner; and / for
one felt like doing serious damage to
some careless camper.
And now, / wish to say in conclu-
sion that it is the duty of every Amer
lean citizen to help prevent these for
est fires, for some day our country
will make use of all of this timber
and in the future | hope that we will
do our best in stopping this terrific
waste of one of our most valuable re-
sources. Maxine Mayfield, "a

THE SHANTY

The old miners shanty slumhered
beneath the age-worn trees whose
branches dropped lazily over the sag
glng moss-covered roof. Weeds and
thick shrubbery thrived in the door
yard without resistance and wild
flowers bloomed there in full glory.
The screen door of the house hung
on one hinge and windows gave signs
OF long vacancy Leaves, branches
and rubbish were strewn promiscuous-
ly over the small porch.
To the left of the house was a we'll
worn path leading to an ivy-clad well
which looked as though it would fall
at the slightest disturbance. Every.
thing was in pitiable state of dilapi-
dalton. Gertrude Jacoby. ,23
