Lecture on Alaska


Last Thursday morning Mr.. Evans
gave very interesting talk on Alas
ka. Mr.. Evans has spent several years
in Alaska, and since his return he has
been giving lectures in the high schools
He told about the wonders of Alas
ka, and he also said that not one-half
of the wealth and beauty of that won
deful country has been discovered. He
told some very interesting Incidents
about the people of Alaska-what
kind of people they were, about their
religion, customs and life. He had
great many souvenirs which he allowed
the students to examine.
Friday afternoon school was dis
missed at two-forty-five, and he. gave
another very interesting lecture. At
this lecture he dressed in native cos
tune. He also had great many col
ored slides. The lecture lasted little
over an hour, and was certainly enjoy
able to all who heard it. Those who
| heard the lecture must certainly be
wiser as far as Alaska is concerned.
Mrs. Edward T. Taylor gave a very
interesting talk at the high school a
week ago last Thursday. She told US
first about some of the beautiful
buildings of Washington and about ia
nous Pennsylvania avenue. She said
that this avenue was great disap-
pointment to most people.
The second part of her speech dealt
with the social customs of Washing,

interesting to US. Every day in the

School Notes
Sophomore-Sentor Banquet
Written by
Helen Blaine and Helen Gregory

Saturday evening, Nov. l, the sopho-
more class entertained the seniors at
banquet and dance at the grade
school. The halls and gymnasium were
decorated in Hallowe ZEN colors. The
sophomores spent gneat deal of time
and effort to make the affair the sue
cess it was. The entrance was ar
ranged very originally to look like a
reception hall, with chairs, rugs, and
victrola. Here everyone chatted until
the gong sounded for the banquet.
Then seniors, faculty, board members,
and the sophomores were led into the
gym, where a mystery of delight greet
ed them, by Delphine MacRae, pres
ident of the sophomore class, and
Verne Burch.
After everyone was seated at the
tables, Verne Burch welcomed the
seniors and all the other guests. Scott
Julian acted as toastmaster and called
on Maurice Mechau, M. j. Mayes, John
Richardson, Mr.. Blaine, Miss Hine and
Miss Bengston for toasts at intervals
during the banquet.
An orchestra provided music during
the courses. About one hundred and
six place cards were set. The junior
and freshmen girls waited on the ta-
bles and the mothers of the sophomore
class members prepared the excellent
meal. After the banquet Scott Julian
asked the boys to remove and stack
the chairs SO the hall could be cleared
for dancing.
AT about ten thirty clock the merry
crowd broke up. Everyone praised and
thanked the sophomores for the lovely
evening. All honor to the sophs who
have the "pep.'
