MATCH THEM!

The greater number of students
in the high school noticed this
week that some of the girls were
sporting bright, shiny new pins or
badges of some description. 1t
was whispered that even some of
the freshman girls were display
;ng them! The mystery was clear
ed up when we were proudly told
by some of the decorated ones
that they had just acquired their
tenderfoot pins in Girl Scouts. This
comparatively new organization,
it seems, has been making fine
progress, under the leadership of
one of the local women and assist
ant leadership of Miss Huntington.
At their last meeting after at
tanning certain qualifications in
creeds, laws and skill in tying
knots, the deserving applicants
gleefully accepted their new pins.
From all indications this worthy
assembly is going to do something
really big and they have our earn
est support in accomplishing their
excellent aims.

DEPARTMENTS

LII AM L
In the history department the
world history class is studying the
Fall of Rome. This takes up the
different kinds of governments at
that time and the reasons why
they weren't stable. The Tudor
period, and under this period reli-
gious prosecutions and the restor-
alton of the papal control, also
Queen Mary. When the classes
finishes Queen Mary it will take
up Queen Elizabeth.
In U. S. history the senors are
studying Evolution of Republican
Policies or Roosevelt's Domestic
Policies. Under this comes the Sc
curing of the territory and the
building of the Panama Canal.
This class unlike the other history
class, practically takes up modern
times and the World War.
The economics class is studying
international transportation, re-
strlctlons and high and low tariff.
The first year French class, in
stead of translating "La Belle
France has been studying from
the grammar books. They now
know the days and months and
can tell the time of day in French.
The second year French class
has been translating the Three
Musketeers. The other day for a
change, instead of translating they
read the French. This made it
easy for some who hadn't studied
that day.
In the English department the
freshmen have been writing some.
themes. The first of the week
they discussed the writing of let
tiers to unknown people who live
in foreign countries. One of the
freshmen wrote to the postmaster
at Honolulu while another wrote
to Australia. This letter writing
| was the result of talk of putting
letters in apple boxes to be ship
ped and of receiving replies from
across the continent.
In Miss Pecar's classes the first
year Latin class is learning her
famous Native Rhyme. She teaches
this ryme to each of her first year
| Latin classes. This ryme takes in
all the verbs which require the
Dative. The second year classes
are reviewing and getting ready
for tests on the Helvetian Wars.
Miss Anderson's algebra class
is exploring in a way in new
field of algebra this week. They
have commenced with factoring
and multiplying and dividing.
The geometry class has at last
finished reviewing and are now
| studying a circle. This is quite
a change from their previous
work, which just had to do with
triangles and such.
The general science class is re-
viewing for the semester test. They
have already taken the six weeks
test. The semester test covers all
the work taken this year. This
takes in heat, water. minerals,
acids, force and energy and food.
The biology class is studying
seeds, and their flowers and fruit.
| The chemistry class is studying
oxides and acids of sulphur. Under
this they study the Chamber pro-
cess for making sulphuric acid
This may sound easy but the
chemistry students tell you to just
try to learn it and you'll think
differently. The physics class is
studying friction. One bright stud
emit thot there should be no fric-
ton. How would you stop your
car after you got it started. The
physics students have to complete
nineteen experiments by the enc
of this week which means hustl-
ing on the part of good many

BOYS SPORTS

Friday, january z. Kennewick
journeyeN to Richland, and when
the rumpus was all over here is
the way the respective scores
stood: Kennewick second team %,
Rlchland second team IL. Kenne-
Wick girls team 6, Richland girls
team Al; Kennewick first team %,
Rlchland 40. All the games were
fast thruout, but the Richland
boys seemed to be able to locate
the basket more easily, with the
exception of the second team
game. in which the Kennewick
players tossed in baskets from ev-
cry place on the floor.
The first team game started off
with a bang, Kennewick scoring
the flrst basket, but from then on
the Richland players gradually
forged ahead. Van Dyne, Richland
forward, was high point man for
Richland with % points, while
Colean and Keolker were the high
point men for Kennewick.
Next Friday, Jan. Id, Kennewick
goes to Prosser for the third con-
test. As yet, little is known of
Prosser's strength, but hard and
fast game is expected, as Ken
newick beat Prosser last year on
the home floor and Prosser will
be out for revenge this year. All
Kennewick rooters who can pos
sibly get to the game should be
on hand to give the players the
necessary encouragement from the
side lines.
The debate team goes to White
Bluffs Friday, and completes with
the team there on the Primary
question, the K.H.S. team taking
the affirmative. 1t is hoped that
the local school will be well rep
resented with rooters. The team is
going to do their best but they
must have the support of the high
school.
In English class the seniors are
studying oral reading and its adj
vantageS. Most of the seniors
have declared their intention of
reading aloud at least one hour
each week.
In the domestic science depart
ment the first year sewing is still
making spring dresses. This is
more work than fun for them, es-
pecially when sleeves have to be
sewed in two or three times before
they suit Miss Huntington. The
more advanced sewing class is
making silk dresses.
The sophomores for their short
stories, are reading "Doyle's Red
Headed League" The juniors have
at last finished "Henry V" and
have taken a test covering Shakes
peare and this drama. Miss Bon
ner has ordered copies of the Tam
ing of the Shrew. When they come
the juniors will continue their
study of Shakespeare and his
works.

CLUBS IN X. FL. S.

Of late there has been a number
of new clubs organized in the Ken
newick high school. Among them
are the Foreign Language clubs,
consisting of the Latin and the
French. These clubs tend some
what to encourage success among
some of our Iinguists and furnish
few good times.
Next we have our Senorita club
which is a secret organization of
the senior girls. The purpose of
this club is to organize the senior
girls so that they might formulate
their plans, get acquainted with
one another and have some good
times.
Also we have the SOS. club.
This is one of our new clubs. We
know not just what this club does
or what these letters stand for.
All we are sure of is that the sem
ior boys make up this mysterious
clubs membership.
The last club is the club that
is the most benefcient of all and
is called the "Better English
Club" Every member of the high
school has his name on the books
of this club. There are two sec
lions, one sponsored by Miss An
derson, which meets three times a
day, and the second meets five
times a day and is sponsored by
Miss Bonner. If we live up to "The
Better English" clubs constitution
I am sure no one would ever have
to clutch in the air for words to
express his opinions.

HUMOR AND MYSTERY
 AT. LIBERTY TONIGHT

The ingredients that go into the making of a good mystery story must contain all the elements of true life. Of course, certain liberties can be taken to enhance the story, but the fundamentals must ring sound, and that is just the thing that makes "The Man Upstairs" Monte Blues latest starring vehicle for Warner Bros, the real thriller that it is.
 In the first place it was written by a man who knows just what creates mystery. His story Seven Keys to Baldpate" is still regarded as one of the premiers of mystery, and The Man Upstairs" is another like it.
 Earl Derr Biggers is an oldtime newspaper man who knows how to weave a truly dramatic story. He has the sense of proportion, of know ing just how long to hold the sus- pense and when to inject new angles to carry out his ideas.
 The plot of The Man Upstairs" was taken from personals" that ap pear daily in the metropolitan news papers. It is mystery yarn in which murders, police and innocent victims are involved and yet all with a touch of humor
 This is Monte Blues fourth star ring vehicle for Warner this year. the other three being "The Limited Mail" Red Hot Tires" and "Hogan's Alley" Dorothy Devore is delightful in the feminine lead, and Heinie Conklin and john Roche give excel lent performances. Roy Del Ruth directed The Man Upstairs" which opens tonight at the Liberty theatre, and which is one of the best comedy dramas of the screen season.
