COMMERCIAL CLUB BANQUET

Much interest is being felt in
the banquet to be given at the Is
land club Tuesday, May 7th by
the Commercial club.
Already the mayors of Seattle
and Tacoma have accepted the in-
vitation to be among the speakers
of the evening, also the president
of the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce, and others. In addition to
an interesting program of speeches
there will be plenty of stories and
music. There is probability that
the inimitable story teller, Lloyd
Spencer, will be here.
The number of tickets sold. will
be limited TO 200. None will be
admitted to the banquet without
tickets, so reservations should be
made early. The ladies Of the
Island club assure us that they
will serve the best meal ever
served in the hall, which alone
should assure a full house, aside
from the fact that the program of
the evening is worth the price OF
admission.

vAsHoN GRADE PIT. A.
ENTERTAINS PATRONS

A small but appreciative audi
ence gathered at the Community
club house Tuesday evening at the
invitation of the members of the
Vashon Grade PIT. A. Several
songs by the pupils OF Mr.. Pease 5
room opened the evenings pro-
gram, after which Mrs. kirkland
accompanied on the piano Fred
Hiersch in group of violin solos.
The speaker of the evening
Judge Dykeman, of the superior
court, gave a most interesting adj
dress on the problems confronting
the parents and teachers of today
His message was unique in that
he expressed no mawkish sentimen.
tality in regard to the youth OF
today, neither did he insinuate
that our young people are rapidly
heading toward ruin, but rather
that our boys and girls are just
average boys and girls, such as all
ages will know, responding to the
good just as young people have in
past generations.
One of the most startling points
brought out, and in making it he
disclaimed any motive other than
merely stating fact, was that in
his work in the juvenile court he
had never come in contact with a
boy or girl that was regular at
tendant at Sunday school, As he
stated the case it seemed more
than mere coincidence.
After Judge Dykeman finished
speaking c. L. Bragg, chairman of
the board of directors in Dist. 176
outlined the necessity for special
election to vote additional funds,
if our school is to be run with the
present number of teachers. The
board feels that with strictest
economy the school can be operat-
ed if a. 3 mill levy is voted by the
taxpayers, in place of the 10-mill
levy that has been voted each year,
for the last 10 years, and that was
lost at the regular school election
in February.
AT the close of the program re-
rshments We're served in the
small club room, and social hour
was enjoyed by all.

STUDENTS WIN BUS
EXCURSION TRIP
TO TACOMA

Thursday morning, faculty and
students of the Junior-Senior
branch OF our high school school
experienced the satisfaction of re-
ward for a job well done. The two
branches of the high school have
for the past two months been stag
ing an interesting attendance con-
test, the Vashon branch finishing
as winners.
Through the interest of Mr..
Ackley, the principal, trip to Ia
coma was arranged. The Kiwanis
club will act as host, meeting the
students at the ferry, and will con-
duet them on an interesting, edu-
cational trip through various
manufactures, including, among
Others, furniture factory, news
paper plants, ETC., but best of all
will be most of the morning spent
at the smelter.
At noon they will be guests of
the Stadium FL. S. student body,
and an interesting program has
been arranged in which represen-
tatives of each class will hold up
the honor of our school.
This trip is not benefit to our
school alone, but rebounds to the
credit OF our entire community.
The News-Record feels it is but
yoicing the opinion of the Island
in congratulating the students on
their successful efforts, and the re-
ward they have received.

ETHYL WILL MOVE INTO
NEW HOME THIS WEEK

The village Of Vashon is all a
flutter to think that the charm
ing Ethyl has chosen it as her fu-
Iture home on the Island. Already
a pretty red house, with electric
lights, and everything is awaiting
her occupancy at the Met-Cro
garage. Wednesday the whole
Met-Cro force, with some of the
|neighbors assisting were getting
the basement all fixed up for i'm
mediate occupancy. With the aid
of the wrecker a tank of $50 gal
Ion capacity was easily installed.
In a day or so Ethyl will be oc-
lcupying the entire new home, base
|ment and all, and awaiting the
pleasure of our motoring public.
In addition to bringing Ethyl to
the Island, this enterprising young
firm has provided up-to.the-minute
transportation for her. They are
now the authorized Island dealers
for the Chrysler Plymouth, and a
full line Of Dodge cars, in addition
to retaining the agency for the
Ford cars.
We have it on good authority
that this is only the first chapter
of what will prove to be n con-
tinued story, for Ethyl and the
cars will lead to bigger things.

GRADING NEW H. S. GROUNDS

A very fine piece of grading is
being done ON the high school
grounds at Center. Acting on a
suggestion made by Supt. Bur-
roughs the board secured the per-
mission of the officials to use the
county equipment at hand, aud as
a result the work has been most
excellently done at less than half
the cost had private individuals
been given the contract. Mr.. Merry
has been in charge of the work.
This fact is ample assurance that
better results could not have been
secured by any other means, public
or private.
