HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Dorothy Frey

The student body held a meeting
Wednesday of last week at the assem-
bly hour. Maurice Kinsey gave re-
port on the financial standing OF the
treasury at the close of the football
season. William Swick made an an
nouncement about the White Salmon
game which was to have been played
Friday night. Mr.. Goodwin gave an
interesting suggestion to the students
concerning Hood River pep at the
games.
Semester examinations were IN or
der last Thursday and Friday. Many
students were not required to take the
examinations, consequently attendance
was small both days.
The second semester began Monday
morning. With two new teachers IN
the Park Street school. Miss FeTrol
Swallow, of Tillamook, succeeded Mrs.
Sarah NealeIgh Krohn, who will go on
ranch near Odell with her husband.
Miss Isabel Mann, of Oregon City,
succeeded Miss Ethel Kelleher.
Eighth grade diplomas were present
ed to 25 pupils by Supt. Cannon after
an appropriate address at junior high
assembly Friday. All of these pupils
but two, along with five from other
schools, composed the mld-year class.
| Other high school classes were aug
mented by seven new students, which
increased the total enrolment to 3Ol
for the year. There was no move
ment of classes from building to build
ing, the promotion being taken care
of by regular teachers. The incoming
freshman class is taken care Of by the
four teachers in junior high school.
The girls basketball team, accom-
panied by Miss Baker, went to The
Dalles last Friday. After an exciting
game The Dalles came out ahead with
score of % to 8.
A practice game was played between
the Blue Diamond team and the high
school. The score was 26 to % IN
favor of the Blue Diamond.
The Hood River high school student
body is an organization composed of
students and faculty of the high school.
The purpose of this organization is to
carry on the athletic and business ac-
tlvities of the school. 1t is the unity
ing element of every school, since it is
the only group in which all students
may meet. The money taken in by the
student body on any occasion is used to
further the various activities. If there
are any funds remaining at the close
of school year they are deposited to
the credit OF the next student body.
The money used for the various activi-
ties as football, basketball, soccer,
debate, etc. is raised by
90 al OF 20 40 Oh 70 4 he.
price of $3.50 The ticket admits the
bearer to any iactivity in which the
high school takes part. Any addition !
al money is raised by selling MascOts, |
candy and other things at the county
fair and games and by charging admis- |
sion to athletic contests. The admis- |
sion charged to outsiders is the same
that is charged by firms who sell
for commercial purposes. !
1t is true that the student body enjoys |
some support from outsiders, but is it |
asking too much to request your unani- |
nous support?
A good student body organization is
as part of the training of |
ligh school pupils. 1t gives them an
dea of finances and how they should be
handled, clean craftsmanship, and as
Ociation with the best young people of
'ther towns whom they meet in ath-
etics and debating contests. Debating
5 one of the very important activities
# the student body. We are members
# the State Debating League, and
lave debates scheduled for February
0 and II. This work is financed by Il
he student body organization.
Hood River high school has had diff
ulty in getting competent officials who
re satisfactory to visiting teams. This
5 due to the lack of interest and sup
,oIt of the alumni and business men
f the town. One of the best WAYS of
erving the high school is by acting as
n official az the games. This does
Ot require a great deal of time or
alent, but it does require a careful
tudy and thorough knowledge Of the
ules of the games. 1t is hoped that
everal who are interested will make
n effort to qualify themselves for
eferee at any type of game that is
layed in Hood River and will scume
ut and show the high school students
heir loyalty. They can be assured
ne heartiest appreciation of the stu
ents.
