LIBERAL ARTS DEPT.

The junior English class has
been studying one act plays and
modern poetry this last week. The
class has read "Enter, the Hero"
and "Stani." These are satirical
plays. the latter dealing with the
type oss people to try to appear
more than are. The juniors have
enjoyed studying these plays as
Miss Bonner brings out parts of
interest which would not occur to
them. In studying modern poetry
the class has not read any poems
but has discussed the nature OF
the present poetry and the subject
matter differs from the older po-
etry. The members of the class
feel that they are getting quite a
bit out of this work.
In the English department the
senior class studied courtesy and
etiquette last week. The students
gave talks on courtesy and the re-
quirementS of a courteous person,
which were brought up, were the
correct ways of introducing men
to women. and young persons to
older ones. This week the class is
studying drama appreciation. This
takes in the meaning of drama,
its development and outstanding
periods. Some of the work is on
the important dramatists both
modern and otherwise. In ,Ameri-
can literature the class has just
completed the study of O'Henry,
Mark Twain and Brett Hart and
some of their works and charac-
teristics.

The freshmen are STUDYING short

The freshmen are studying short
stories and poems and will spend
the rest of the school year on this
work. They are reading number
of Burns poems and, altho the
class is YET unaware of it, Miss
Andersen plans that they shall do
d great deal of memorizing. Under
the study of short stories the
freshmen are ready to read Haw-
thorne's Ambitious Guest" Miss
Anderson is also going to have
the class read few essays on cit
izenship which come in the Eng
lish III literature book.
In the English department the
sophomore class has been taking
up some work along the line of
debates. Different members of the
class have been debating, some
members taking the affirmative
and others the negative. Some of
the questions debated this way
are: Resolved, that billboard adj
vertisirg should be done away
with. and also that the school year
should be one month longer. And
it is needless to say that everyone
wanted the negative in the latter
question. Also individuals are pre-
senting certain sides of debate
without a contesting side. Some OF
the interesting questions taken uu
were whether or not cooking and
sewing should be required of high
school girls! And plumbing and
carpentering of high school boys
The sophomores really have some
interesting and lively discussions

THE SENIOR sNEAK

Thursday. April 81 at 8:45 am.
school was called to order as usual
but alas there were no seniors!
Where were they? All! yes, they
had chosen this day to be the
greatest event in the history of
the senior class. The Sneak.
They had left at six o'clock in
the morning and would not return
until night. They motored to Wal
la Walla and from there went to
Kootskootskie, summer camp up
in the mountains. The greatest
events of the day were the picnic
dinner and the climbing of the
highest mountain that could be
found. Some of the boys reached
the snow line, but the majority of
the crowd gave up in despair long
before that.
The day was enjoyed by every
one that went, and the only trouble
they could find with the sneak,
was that there were not more days
for it.

an excavation for a sewer in front
of 214 Massachusetts, avenue

Peak was pulled from the dirt
by workmen engaged in the con-

and taken to Casualty Hospital,
where he was treated for a slight

back on the job again within an

No one was able to explain how
Simms escaped in time.

jumped" said Simms. who was
safely out of the ditch before the
sliding earth had reached the bot
