SOUTH DISTRICT
CLUBS BANQUET
Enjoy Get-to-gether Meeting; The
Island Well Represented by
Miss Lillian Larsen

a splendid spirit of goodwill
and cooperation was evidenced in
the banquet given at Sears, Roe
buck and Co. to the members of
the various clubs comprising the
Consolidated South District Com
mercial Club.
After the installation of officers
a program OF speeches followed,
mterspersed with music, and the
Introduction of various men, prom
inent in civic welfare, including
members of the Board of County
Commissioners, the City Council,
officials of Sears, Roebuck, repre-
sentatives Of the various clubs,
etc.
The most interesting phase Of
the affair was the election of Miss
South End. Young ladies repre-
senting each of the clubs making
up the consolidated club were scat
ed at the center table. A more
chalming, wholesome lot of young
people could not be imangined in
any place or generation Almost
without exception these girls were
free from apparent artificiality.
Ena Hamilton, happy, red headed
girl, was elected by the other girls
TO reign as Miss South End for
the ensuing year.
Oar own representative, Lillian
Larsen, charmingly and ably re-
presented our local Commercial
Club. Miss Larsen is strictly a
"home product" having been
born, raised aud educated on Wash
on-Maury Island She is now SER
wing in our community, being one
of the teachers Of Mauy school.
Comment concerning the place she
holds in the regard and affection
of those who know her would be
superfluous. Those who were re
sponsible for the choice OF Miss
Larsen as Miss Vashon are to be
congratulated on rare good judg-
ment.
Attending the banquet from
Vashon-Maury were, in addition to
Miss Vashon, Mr.. and Mrs. Zcne
Whittemore. Chas. England, Coy
Mcridcth, II. W, +. Martin and
Agnes l.. Smock.

CAMPFIRE GIRLS WILL
PLANT TREES FEB. 22ND

The Campfire Girls are coming
out Feb. 22nd to plant trees along
our highway again and some of the
ladies of the Island clubs plan
to help, this year.
To discuss the type of tree most
desirable and other matters rela-
tive to the work of planting, re-
presentatives Of various clubs are
invited to meet with Mrs Wallace
Beall, Feb. 9th, 3 p. m.
There is question, whether we
should not like our village streets
planted first, and there are some
trees which possess real value for
street planting. There should, of
course, be good general plan to
obtain uniform and pleasing re
suits; any one interested is urged
to give their opinion at this time.
Mr.. Kirkland is coming out if
possible, or II not, VIII send men,
her of the Forestry Dept. L. of w.
The University donates the trees.
Miss Bishop, head of the Campfire
work in the Northwest, will be
here, And last but not least, some
one is coming to talk ON the Con
servation Of Wild Flowers and the
planting of flowers along our high
ways. We are not sure yet who
the speaker will be, but this is a
matter of great interest, as every
one agrees who has seen the miles
Of bright flowers on the Olympic
Highway, along Hoods Canal.
The Boy Scouts of Burton and
Vashon will help in this tree plant
ing and we know we'll the value
of their asSistanee-they came
near doing it all, the first year.

JUNIOR COLLEGE
PLAN EXPLAINED
Would Reduce the Time Spent in
Grade School to Six Years;
Cut College Time Two

In recent issue of a Wenatchee
daily the plan of the Junior col
lege was most clearly outlined (;
condensed it is as follows:
The present system of education
in this state is in accordance with
the S-4-4 plan, eight years given
to elementary grade work, four
years to high school and four
years to higher education.
The plan of the junior college
is based on the 6-4-4 idea. Six
years being taken for grade work,
the present seventh and eighth
grades being part of the high
school Ga junior high school propo-
sition) combined with the present
two years of high school and in
addition covering the work that
is now given in the first two years
of college or university. This
plan would keep at home the col
lege freshmen and sophomores, the
average of whom is too immature
to be away ffom the home influ-
ence, and |on his own. The
last four years under this plan
would cover the present work done
by the junior and senior student,
and in addition two years of what
is now postgraduate work. Thus
the mature students work would
be unhindered by the immaturity
of the average freshman and soph-
omore.
There are many arguments in
favor of this plan, apparently.
Parents are ever anxious to keep
their children under the home
roof as long as possible, and this
method of education would add
two years to that time. The cost
of receiving this education would
of course be minimized, thus max
ing possible to a larger number at
least the first two years of col
lege could they receive this worl;
in the local schools,
Undoubtedly this plan would
necessittate a larger amount being
spent for instruction in our local
schools, but this would be offset
by the reduced cost of receiving
at home a part of a college educa-
tion.
With the problem of our new
high school confronting us, ii is
well for us to be considering these
possibilities of the future. and
looking forward to that time in
the not-far.distant futura wien
these questions that now seem Wis.
iouary will be real problems re.
quiring real solution. That youth
must be served is more than q
mere phrase. Our youth is as fins
as any community in the world
can boast Of, and why should We
not be considering what advanla.
ges we can give them by being
able to grasp the vision of oul
possibilities. Let us keep in MIND
that we are not building for the
future of the children in oui
schools today merely, but also foi
the future Of those children who
will follow ours.
