"A complete set OF baseball equip
ment for both boys and girls arrived
this past week. AL spare moments
of the pupils are now spent in gain
ing proficiency in this popular pas
time. Hanford has already challenged
us to couple of games to be held
in the near future.
Miss Griffin, our primary teacher,
who left for her sisters home near
Spokane on account of illness, has

and will have to stay there for at
least ten days by her doctors orders.
At last reports she is recuperating
and expects to be able to return to
her work in couple of weeks.

turned last Monday to take charge Of
the primary room during the illness Of
Miss Griffin Miss Bennett has

All the high school students and
teachers, and also the grade school
teachers and DR.. Hills spent very
enjoyable time last Friday evening in
the high school gymnasium. The
party was held to- celebrate the con-
clusion Of a week Of craftsmanship
The school had been divided into
three guoups and the "Hoot-Nan-
nies," having sold the greatest number
of subscriptions were the guests Of
the "Hawkshaws and the "Squec-
dunks" The evening was spent in
playing mary games, the chief ones
being peanut hunt, cracker race,
and steeple chase from the result
of which Arthur Anderson is ex-
hibiting large bump on his fore
head, The climax was reached when
everyone took part in crossword
puzzle contest, the puzzle having been
concocted by DR.. Hills for the oc-
casion, and in which DR.. Hills acted
as quarterback and called out the
plays. The most pitiful part occurred
when the side that lost had to watch
the winning side eat three delicious
apple pies. Supper was then served
consisting of sandwiches, coffee, fruit
salad and cake. Since everyone had
taken part in one contest or another
they were all very tired and SO de-
parted to their various homes declaring
it one of the incest high school parties
they had attended, because it had
been SO different and everything was
surprise.
Twenty-Five auto-loads filled with
merrynaakers from White Bluffs wend-
ed their way across the Columbia
river, over the bluffs and through the
sand on their way to Othello last
Saturday evening. The occasion for
the wholesale exodus was basket
ball game between the high schools
of the two towns and a dance, the
music for which was furnished by the
White Bluffs band. The business men
of Othello received their guests in
royal fashion. The basketball team
was fed both before and after the
game. The game was staged in the
new commodious school gymnasium
of Othello. Before the game and
between halves the White Bluffs band
rendered music to the appreciation of
the audience. The game was fast and
clean. The score was White Bluffs
81 and Othello IS. Good sportsman
ship, much enthusiasm and enduring
determination to win was displayed by
both sides until the final whistle of
the referee, Mr.. John McFee, was
sounded.
To further cement the relationship
between the two schools and the
two communities return game has
been arranged for this Saturday eve
ming. The game will be called at eight
o'clock at the White Bluffs high
school gymnasium. After the game
a dance will be held. The music will
be furnished by the high school. A
lunch will be served by the Senior
class. The proceeds of the lunch will
be applied to the purchase OF an
nouncements, ct cetra, for the gradu-
alton exercises.
