Department Notes

The English and world history
classes are trying to learn the
wavs Of the world, or so it appears
for once a week they study the
literary Digest and report on
What thew know. Who knows but
What our future president of the
limited States is now a sophomore
or a Junior in Kills?
The freshmen English class is
now having its turn at theme
building. You wouldn't think Miss
Anderson would conduct a funny
class. but they say all the pupils
brought jokes and anecdotes to
class last week.
Miss Caulkins has put up bulle-
tin boards in the history room
and has requested that all the his
torv students bring historical pic
tures and any clippings. relating
to their study. Sad to say, it has
been the Junior and sophomore
classes which have made the most
contributions. But the seniors have
been busy with other things and
will have their share of clippings.
Miss Fisher reports that man
is coming to Kennewick to give
lessons on band instruments. He
will come once a week from Walla
Walla. and will give lessons at the
high school.
The general science class is
studying force and energy. We're
sure Mr.. Clak would be much bet
ter satisfied if his class would put
as much force and energy in get
ting what is already in the book.
Miss Caulkins has demanded
that every u. S. history student
write so much upon some subject
connected with u. S. history. We
have until December Goth to hand
our topic in. which means. all you
other teachers-that the night of
December 10Th will be spent on
history and not English, French or
physics.
A few weeks ago the high school
had season ticket contest sale.
The winning class was to receive
a prize. The senior class, as was
quite proper, came out ahead. As
a reward Of their hard work the
class had its picture taken Tues
day. This picture will be hung in
the assembly and the seniors hope
the under classmen will profit by
this display of head work.
Miss Anderson and her geometry
class have been planning Utopia
This Utopia is to be of perfect
dimensions, worked out by the ge.
ometry students. They have not
only attempted this. but have al.
so tried to accurately measure the
world. We feel that all we can dc
is to hope for them the best OF
success and to encourage Miss
Anderson.
The first year French class has
at last struck snag. For they
have started on verb conjugations

the teacher asked the worker what
he would do with this extra day

they would spend this extra time

brought out bursts of comment
from Tommy Warnock who said.

SPORTS

Displaying the best brand of
football shown yet this season,
Kennewick lost a bitterly contest
ed game to Pendletop last Satur-
day 81 score Of 1910. Altho Pen
dleton outweighed the home team
considerably, Kennewick made the
most consistent gains. Perhaps the
feature of the game came when
Kennewick was forced to punt
from behind it's goal line. Richter
received the ball. but saw that it
would be impossible to kick He
side-stepped Pendleton man and
raced 65 yards before being brot
down. While this was the most
sensational play, the entire team
played an excellent game and one
which was decided Improvement
over the games heretofore this
season. Pendleton's first touch
down came when Kennewick was
forced to punt from behind their
goal. The punt was blocked, how
ever. and a Pendleton man fell on
the ball for the first score. The
try for point went wide. Pendle-
tons second score resulted from a
line buck but the try for point
was unsuccessful. The lineup last
Saturday was as follows: War
mock and Carpenter, ends; Scott
and Reese. tackles; Keolker and
Cox, guards; T. Warnock, center;
Boyer and Richter. halfbacks:
Campbell, quarter and Cottman
fullback.
Next Friday. October %. the
team goes to Hermiston. Oregon.
Last year Kennewick beat Hermis-
ton on the home field and if Ken
newick displays as good a game
as they did last Saturday they
should subdue Hermiston again.
There will be no home games I'M
til November H., when Kennewick
meets Pasco on the home grounds.

ROREAL WORSHIP

At the top of the year-the summer solstine-a
small band of high caste Hindus made pilgrimage
to northern Norway near enough to the top of the
world to the shining at midnight. There they
worshipped God through His glorious symbol, the ever
shining light of world, which to them represents
the spiritual SUM- There was an impressive and beau
tiful ritual with texts read from the Vedas their an
cient Scriptures and there offering Of fire and
flowers.
In the olden days this would have been impossible.
Now the Hindus expect to make the pilgrimage and
perform the rites every year Thus modern transpor-
tation religion with them, it did with the
Roman Catholics who came from all the world to Chi
cago at about the time for their sacred
monies.
There cynical philosophers and scientists who
hold that religion grows out of ignorance The little
learning which Pope said is "a dangerous thing
may scoff at the power religion holds over primitive
people. Halfway progress brings cyncism Farther
education and enghtment leads back religion bring
ing new and finer religious conceptions.
Civilization, somewhat puzzled as to eternal
verities, began in worship and will end in higher
