Students Hear Speaker
Frieda Strive

Miss Floyd Crutchfield, of the
Samuel French Dramatic company
Of Los Angeles visited the Kenne-
wick high school, Tuesday, Oct
ober 81, and gave talk on plays
and dramas to the members of the
junior and senior classes.
Among the things she mentioned
was the difficulty that an anna
teur player or dramatist has Of,
s'where shall ] put my feet and
what shall lido with my hands 9"
She said If one puts his whole be-
ing or spirit into the play his
hands and feet will not act "up,"
but respond promptly, and that
you can tell just by the moving Of
these "pedal extremeties" just the
way the actor feels about his part
IA the play.
Another thing that she mention
ed was the advantage person
who has acted in play has over
the person who has never played
IN one. She explained this by say
ing that person in play acts
the part of the character whom
he represents and so he lives that
Individual character besides living
his own life, thus giving him bet
Ter understanding Of human nature
than a person who has never acted
IN play

Displaying an improved offense
and gaining yardage consistently,
the Orange Phantoms triumphed
over a fighting Athena eleven on
Friday, October "a, by a score of
1910. The game was thrilling and
was marked by several nice runs
by Mcclure, Kennewick halfback.
The locals scored their first
touchdown early in the opening
period, Rupp going over on a line
play. In the second half they again
tailed. Williams crossing the OPP
ponent's goal line.
The Oregonians never seriously
threatened TO score but several
tricky runs by the Athena quarter
back kept the crowd On their toes.
No game is scheduled for next
week, the tussle with Pasco ARMS

Summers Visits K. II. 8.
Dorothy Hembree

Thursday afternoon the high
school had the opportunity Of list
ening to John w. Summers, Wash
ington's representative at WASH
ington, d. C. His talk was one Of
the most interesting that has ever
been given in the assembly.
DR.. Summers described the Ma
tional Capitol, the Rotunda, the
beautiful paintings in the room,
the Senate and Represented Cham
bers, and the Congressional Lii
brary. He described the burning Of
the Capitol in 1874 by the British,
the walls being of the Virginia
sandstone and about five feet thick
did not, of course, burn.
Special emphasis was given to
the paintings: Constino Bromito,
a great artist, was employed to
decorate the Capitol. Mr.. Bromito
worked for % years and died before
he finished the task.
One room of the Capitol is fill
ed with nothing but statues. This
room is sometimes called the "Hall
of Fame" In this room each state
may put statue of two states
men, heroes, or heroines. Of the
statues in it are two Presidents,
Washington and Garfield, one wo-
man, Frances Willard, and one In
dian, Sequoia, who wrote an In
dian alphabet that ali the Indians
tribes could read and understand.
The Congressional Library
stands on the site that was once
occupied by boarding house in
which Lincoln stayed. In the IL
brary is one of the most beautiful
stairways in the world. It contains

inally had 125 volumes, now it has

Inc ArmlStlce Day tilt with the
Pasco Bulldogs on the local field is
undoubtedly the major attraction
Of the home schedule. This and the
Thanksgiving Day game at Pasco
always drow large crowds, pri-
marily because Of the intense riv-
airy between the two high schools.
When these contendents clash there
is always real battle.
Coach Linden is confident that
his proteges will furnish the
Pascoans a very busy afternoon.
Mr.. Linden is concentrating his
attention on the cline" this week
as it will demand heavy, fast,
forward wall to stem the thrusts
Of the invaders. The routine on the
gridiron this week will consist of
much scrimmage and signal prac-
tice.
The only direct medium Of COM
pairing the strength of the con-
tending elevens is by the contests
with the Pendleton Buckaroos.
Early in the season Pasco played
the Oregon team to q scoreless tie
after being considerably outplayed.
The locals were defeated by PEN
dleton 60, after hard fought
battle. Pasco's squad will conside.-
ably outweigh the home boys, man
for man, but the locals are unwill-
ing to concede anything to the
Franklin county boys, and are go
ing to stake everything to chalk
up a victory.
