COOPERATION

IN their usual efficient manner,
= the Bachelors Club put on two
skhts at the recent playground
benefit, sponsored by the Kiwanis
Club. This is just another indica-
tion of the spirit of cooperation
which these men portray in any
community enterprise.
The skits were well done, all of
the membership of the club was
represented in them and they pro-
vided the high spots in the per-
Torrance. 1t is interesting to note
that while the playground was
started by the Kiwanis Club and
while the club still stands back OF
the work that everyone is begin
ming to be interested in and sup
port this activity.

RY the omission of a phrase,
- this paper unwittingly gave a
false impression in one of the
stories printed a couple of weeks
ago. Commissioner III. S. Hughes,
in giving his talk to the CONNER
cial Club, explained what he hoped
to accomplish in the way of road
work in this district for the COM
ing year. His explanation of the
amounts contained in the budget
and how he planned to make the
expenditures were perfectly clear.
But in writing UP the story the re-
porter by emitting phrase
seemed to give the impression that
he was handicapped by curtail-
ed budget. AS a matter of fact
the budget for this years road
work is larger than it has ever
been. The refusal of the railroads
to pay a portion of the taxes as
sessed to them was curtailing the
amount of money available at the
present time. The total of the bud
get was not cut.

PROPHECY OF THE
CLASS OF 1929
Rv Mercedes Sprague


Outside snow lay in a deep blan-
bet over the earth, while inside it
was warm and cozy before my
cheery fire. I drew up my easy
chair, picked up a favorite book,
and settled down for a pleasant
evening when suddenly an impera-
tive rap summoned me to the door.
You can imagine my surprise when
/ beheld an old classmate from
Kennewick high school.
Walter Knowles had at last fin
ished one of his great ambitions,
that of travelling, by completing
trip around the world and, find
ing that I lived in Seattle, he had
dropped" around before returning
to his professorship at Columbia
to chat about our school DAYS and
our classmates long ago separat-
ed.
Seated before the fire 1 asked
walt to tell me about his trip and
wnom ne had seen. Il knew I'd get
lnIormatlon much quicker by start
ing with his trip than in any other
way. l didn't bother telling him pd
been around the world couple of
times myself.)
Well, }" said Walt, Che still per-
sisted In starting his sentences
with that abominable word after
all Miss Rushton had said.) ITO
begin with, before I left New York
on the first leg of my journey, I
went to hear a very famous opera
singer, Madame Regina, otherwise
our own Glee Miller, and you know
her fame hasn't affected her at
all, because she talked to me after

HISTORY OF THE
CLASS OF 1929

= s
Now that the termination of the
school life of the good old class of
'29 is drawing near, it seems fit
ting that our class history should
be briefly recorded, bringing MEM
cries of the great and unusual
deeds accomplished by our class.
Twelve years ago, it was, when
group of shy little kiddies exper-
fenced that never-to-be-forgotten
event, the first day of school. Re-
member. Mildred Anderson, the lit
tie girl with the big ribbon bow-tied
in her hair? And Ross Hill was
such sweet little boy! Our most
important deed in that first year
was mastering that old favorite,
"Good Morning to You"
In the second grade we made our
first visit to the high school to
give our May Day program. How
big both the high school students
and the building looked to us!
During the rest of the grade
school, the class established its rep
utation Of good scholarship. We
lost a good many of our original
students and gained others in their
places through those years. At the
end of the eighth grade term the
class numbered nearly sixty.
Our entrance into high school
marked the real opening of our
career.
Scholastically we have not had
any students who maintained ex-
ceptionally high averages, but we
have had good many students
on the Honor roll, at that. In our
junior year, half of the class, sew
enteen of our 90, won six-weeks
records which we believe has never
been equalled in this school before
this time and we think it will not
be reached in a long, long time.
In basketball, our class teams,
both boys and girls, have been
the champion teams during all four
years-and we have contributed
many football and baseball players
to the high school teams, too.
z Socially, we have been active
also-the class responding in large
numbers to class parties, picnics
and stunts and entertainments we
have put on. This year we have
been entertained royalty by the
juniors at the annual Senior-Jun-
Tor Banquet and the Junior Prom.
Since the last word is our right,
we will make it this: We have all
enjoyed our school days, more than
ever now that the remaining ones
are becoming limited, and if other
students follow our example they
too, will be able to say that school
days, taking them as a whole, are
"More darned fun!"

to and HIM with practical sugges-
tions at his farm. Now, a train OF
agricultural and livestock exhibits
has been arranged by the special
lists at the Washington State Col
lege in conjunction with the North
ern Pacific railroad, to actually
bring exhibits to the farmer.
The train carries siv carloads of
agricultural and livestock exhibits
which should be of great value to
the farmer. Regardless of what
field of activity the farmer is en-
gagged in there will be things of
interest to him on the train. The
train which is making a tour of
Washington will stop in Kenne-
wick Saturday morning, May IL.
Exhibits may be viewed at the
train beginning at 10 o'clock in
the morning. This day is to be
great community holiday with a
free lunch of coffee and sand
wiches served on the street be-
tween the Librty theatre and the
bank building at noon.
While quality for profit" is es-
sential in production, one of the
most important phases of the en-
tire day will be the discussion of
marketing to be held at the thea
tire at 1880 in the afternoon. While
farmers can always learn new and
better means of production, still
many of the problems of the bust
ness lies in marketing his pro-
duce.
The entire day should prove well
worth while to everyone in the en-
tire county. Regardless of how
much work there may be to be
done on the farm, you can make
more money by coming to town on
the day of the special market
train and participating in the
demonstrations and discussions.
