SOPHS SHOW OTHER
CLASSES GOOD TIME

The sophomore party, which was
held in the high school gym last
Friday evening, was well attended
by the students of the school, there
being about hundred present.
The gym was beautifully decorated
with blue and white, which are the
sophomore colors, and the dark hall
entrance, which was fixed up with
nets and ropes, gave the students a
little thrill and little difficulty in
getting into the gym.
About $3.50 program was given,
which was as follows:
Watch your step-four boys. In
this the four boys were blindfolded
and supposed to run hurdle race,
although there were no hurdles in
their path, as they were secretly
taken away during the blindfolding.
The next was a conversation dance
in which five couples took part. The
girl was to do all of the talking, and
the one who talked the most was to
be presented with trophy. Esther
McDaniels won out, and for trophy,
a dog muzzle was presented. Light
refreshments were served and noise
makers were given out Helen Nc
Cabe was presented with cuspidor
for being the best dancer of the eve

OUTSTANDING PHYSICS
STUDENTS SELECTED

During the past week the physics
classes selected the ones whom they
thought would do the best work in this
field if they went to college. 1t has
been customary the past few years
for the University of Montana to
send in such a request for the names
of the four or five best students in
physics and chemistry. Before this
they were usually chosen by the in
structor in this particular field.
However, due to the large number of
students who have done very good
work in physics, A. D. Williams, the
local instructor, decided to have the
classes as a whole vote for those
whom they considered would best
represent the school. In fact, he said,
that practically all of his students
could do college work we'll in this
particular line. In order to make the
choice one, which would probably
come closest to the truth, he decided
to try a vote. The five elected are:
Theodore Viers, William Waiseman,
August Mervish, George Thompson
and Armas Kent. 1t is thought these
five would be the best representatives
in physics at college, although there
are many others who are almost as
good, if not as good.

voyage in company with Synnelet, a
favorite nephew, for the express pur-
pose of selecting for themselves the
most attractive of the condemned
women.
While the ship was being loaded
for the sail, two men leaned against
the barrels on deck and calmly, yet
with decided interest and specula-
tion, looked over the chained women
to see if they were particularly prom
ising.
The governor was about so, re-
spectacle in appearance and with a
good face-that reflected an under
standing and reliable character.
Synnelet was younger by 20 years
and his features were decidedly those
of a sensualist. He was not married
and had no desire to be.
After sizing the women up for
some time the gaze of both men re-
turned to Manon.

SENIORS PLAN FOR

hold of the ship like so many sacks
of coal, to be dumped at the penal
colony in America.
The armed guards chained these
men to the ships walls with scarcely
enough room between them to move.
The only light and air they were to
have came through the close iron
grating in the floor of the deck
above. A terrible fate for any man,
no matter how great his crime!
After the men had been securely
locked away the governor gave in
structions for the women to be
brought aboard. They were a pitiful
sight, but the guards had neither
mercy nor compassion for the unfor-
tunate girls or their families and
roughly brought the farewells to an
abrupt end.
Manon clung so lightly to Fabien
that he was pushed along with her
up to the gang plank before the
guards realized what they had done.
"Clear out Of here!" ordered the
most burly fellow addressing Fabien.
"There is time" he stalled, dread
ing to let Manon 60
Eyes, and this is it." The guard
grabbed Manon roughly by the arm
and pulling her away said, "now,
nothing's holding you-go."
Fabien's face turned a CHASTITY
white, he set upon the guard with
clenched fists, but was pushed aside

"At last they have sent us a wom-
an worth looking att" exclaimed
Synnelet with a whistle of delight
81 see the one you mean-but do
you notice that her affection is al
ready bestowed upon a young MANI"
The governor saw Fabien holding
Manon in his arms.
"What difference does that make? ?
He will be left here, shall take his
place and she will be more interesting
for the experience" Synnelet was
impatient for the ship to get under
way so that he might have Manon
to himself.
The governor had always given
this headstrong nephew everything
he wanted so it was foregone con-
clusion that the prettiest girl on the
chain should be assigned to Synnelet's
cabin and tender mereies.
The important matter Of a COM
panion being settled for Synnelet, the
governor left him contemplating his
future mistress, and went off to su-
perintend the handling of a consign-
ment of dangerous men that were be-
ing herded out on the wharf.
After the manner of the women
these men were chained together and
driven onto the ship like animals.
There were convicts, thieves, rogues
and murderers among them. All un-
desirable characters that were being
stored away in the unspeakably dirty

CREDIT TO DESERVING


Carbon's debating squad deserves
quite bit of credit. They have
worked diligently and have been able
to make a good showing. Com
petitive debating is quite new field
for the students. There is con-
siderable amount Of good material in
the school and this ought to be
brought out next year. Several
members of the squad will graduate
this year, but those in the lower
classes will still be with Carbon. Be-
sides, others will enter as freshmen
next year. Taken as whole, Carbon
will probably have one of the best
debate teams in the county next year.
