1t is with keen regret that the stu
dents of K. 81. S. realize there will be
no new school this spring. The
seniors especially feel this regret.
They were in high hopes of seeing
the new building before they gradu-
ated fro mschool. Although the stu
dents are somewhat setback by this
disappointment they will keep up
their work in the expectancy of get
ting a new school house next fall.

1t isn't so very long until the base
ball season comes, two or three weeks
now. 1t will probably surprise the
majority of the students to know
that we have even got a team. In
the last few years Coach Jacobs has
been producing winning baseball
teams. Yet there isn't any real fol
lowing or interest on the part of the
student body in this sport. Baseball
is just as fast as basketball, and just
as thrilling as football. With these
facts it is hard to understand why
baseball isn't more successful in Ken
newick high.
Of course the competition may
have something to do with it. IL some
of our favorite rivals like Pasco.
Benton City, etc. would develop q
baseball team and a following for
their teams, it is sure that the inter
est would spread to this school. So
here's to a bigger and better base
ball season!

MUSIC
Alice Altrogge

The high school operetta entitled
"In Old Louisiana" is to be given at
the Liberty theatre the evening of
March 8. A short synopsis of the
operetta is as follows:
Pilot Farley and three-year-old
child are the only survivors Of the ill
.fated steamboat "Winona." The pilot
adopts the child and brings her up as
his own daughter. Rose is loved by
and returns the affections of Rich
ard st. John, young Southern plant
er, whose lands join those of the
"Sans Souci'' sugar plantation owned
by Farley.
Simon Scudder, overseer of the
Sans Souci also loves Rose. Because
she refuses his attentions, Scudder
plans with the help of Joke Martin,
and Holly Timms, a shady lawyer
from New Orleans, to claim that the
child rescued by Farley is the daugh-
ter of an octoroon slave, purchased
by Martin from a Mr.. Frombley some
years before, who was sent to him on
the steamer "Winona's" fatal trip.
The conspirators confront the pilot
with a forged paper to back their
claims, but Richard intervenes and
accuses Scudder of the falsity of the
document. This leads to duel be-
tween Richard and Scudder. Scudder
shoots before the signal agreed upon
and wounds Richard in the hand. Ac-
cording to the code Of dueling, Rich
ard is allowed his shot, but he can not
bring himself to take a mans life in
cold lood.
Rose and the pilots friends are at
tracted to the spot by the firing.
Scudder is about to tell Rose that she
is an octoroon, when he is interrupt
ed by the arrival of Sheriff MacDoug-
al and the Marquis de la Tour, the lat
ter proving to be Roses grandfather.
The Marquis, whose agents have re-
Gently discovered that Rose is the

high school and one class that de-
serves little special attention.
Boys Physical Education
Conducted by Coach Jacobs
There are a few facts concerning
P. E. that easily justify it's existance.
The class is composed of rs boys and
consists of gym and class work.
In the class is taught practical
physical education. Instead of abstract
diseases the boys are taught how to
take care of their hair, hands, feet,
skin and the rest of the body. This
is taught to promote good health and
clean, healthy appearance. In the
gym they are taught how to play
games. This isn't coaching them as
prospects for future teams, but it is
teaching them how to get real fun out
of play and to build up their muscles
that work can never touch. p. E.
gives the fellows living in the. coun-
try that were unable to turn for ath-
letics, a real chance to enjoy ath-
letics.
Besides the fun derived from the
gym work is the health benefits.
Everyone of the boys have put on
from one to five pounds, and they
have showers at least twice day.
With the combination of class and
gym work it is only natural for them
to have healthy bodies. And healthy
bodies create healthy minds.
