Subject was, "Show Me How You

several jokes which the boys es-
lpccially, seemed to appreciate.
He then told us how interesting

mainly of the habits young people

they took notes in shorthand.

Vashon won both games Of bask-
etball last Friday night. The girls
game was played first. Though
the score was 20-4 in favor Of
Vashon, it does not show how in
teresting aud exciting the game
really was.
The boys game was closer, with
score of GIG. In the first half
the Burton quintet led for sever
al minutes. When the teams came
back for the second half Vashon
came back with a "bang." 1t was
too much for our team, which is
used to a much smaller floor. The
boys were, plucky and fought
hard to the end, though defeat
from our old rivals was certain.
After the game delightful
lunch was served in the domestic
science room. Thank you, Wash
