TO THE EDITOR

Mr.. Editor:
Why can't something be done to
assume more cooperation among
classes at their class meetings? In
the present class meetings, members
jump up with motions out of order
and in other ways take up time
meant for business. More could be
accomplished and more benefits re-
ceived If everyone would behave
and speak only when recognized by
the chair. The presidents and
sponsors of the classes go around
tearing their hair and bemoaning
the day that they were born after
they sit through one of these So
called class meetings. 1t would be a
good idea to act right for a change
and surprise these tortured people.
Sincerely, A SENIOR

LOST FOUND
NEW RACKET

A Lost-Fotfnd department has
been organized in the school which
is run by Minnie Thackara and
under the supervision of Miss Mich

ARE BROKEN

Remember those resolutions that
some of our teachers and students
published in the Broadcaster? Well,
one fine day we went out to check
up and here are our results:
Miss Hopkins Chews Hair
Going into the journalism room
we caught Miss Hopkins wildly pac-
ing up and down, tearing out her
hair by the handfuls. Covering be-
hind the piano, we inquired timidly
what might be the matter and could
we be of any assistance? With cry
of unleashed rage, she turned upon
us, gibbering about New Years res
olutions. We delicately pried into
the matter and found that Miss
Hopkins broke her resolution not to
make any resolution when she re-
solved not to make any resolutions
(she feels better now, thanks.)
Irene, the Little Ruffian
We backed out of the room hast
lily for we felt that we were intrud-
ing upon a sacred scene. However,
as we rounded corner we beheld a
shocking sight-one Irene Henke
gal looping down the hall, shouting,
I'm not a LADY, won't be and
who said I was lady?" .. =.
Mr.. Clark Adamant
Standing amid the ruins of our
plans for a sane and happy New
Year, we felt the need to visit Mr..
Clark and to talk bugs and things.
Drawing ourself up, we marched
resolutely towards the office but
nearing a moaning sound, we paus-
ed then peeked through the keyhole
where we stayed until the door
opened and knocked us down. Wan
da Brown, hair aflame. was point
ing at the clock and pleading with
the firm, dignified Mr.. Clark.
Don't tell me that I'm tardy, oh
please-you don't know what this
means to mel" But all in vain. /.
Nursing the black eye we receiv-
ed when the door opened suddenly,
we wendell our way to public speak
ing class. If we had hoped against
the worst, it had been in vain, for
our illusions were shattered when
the class informed us that Miss Nc
Gee had not yet arrived at school.
She had not arisen on time it seems.
Imagine our surprise when we saw
Yves Brown come dashing towards
us, yardstick in hand, singing "Five
foot two, eyes Of blue!" Yves has
grown an inch. At last we have
found some one who is trying to
keep his resolution--our belief in
mankind is restored!

Til I got a wife
Bound to mend my life
But life amt what it use to be

Please, could We kindly tell me

school and other students would do
well to use a little energy along this
line of endeavor. Many scholarships
and other opportunities are passing
to other schools simply because of
our failure to try for them. Every
student who wins a scholarship for

K.H.S G-WOMAN
CATCHES COLD,
SLY MURDERER

Now, my dear reader, prepare
yourself, for in a few moments you
will be dreadfully i'll. That is, If
you attempt to swallow this little
tale which I am about to relate to
you concerning the mysterious adj
ventures of Lorraine Giles, G-Wo-
man.
When Lorraine received her ap-
pointment to the Department Of
Justice she fairly shouted for Joy
for she was to be the first woman
ever to be so honored. After the
first wave of emotion passed over
her, she felt a feeling Of remorse
for those things which she would
have to leave behind. A tranquil
sadness stole into her heart and as
she realized that she would have to
give up the writing of her book, The
Night life of a FREELY" she took
down her hair and began to weep.
Her pent-up emotions burst forth,
wave after wave, until it seemed she
would drown in the depths Of her
sorrow! Indeed, her tears had al
ready flooded the room.
Hunts Spider Leg
When the last tear had done its
duty, she glanced at her wrist watch
and decided she had better begin
packing If she was ever to get start
ed on the trail of Spider-Leg, Mil
lard Helm. She snatched up a
clean handkerchief, put her tooth
brush in her coat pocket and began
the lengthy task Of capturing Spi-
der-Leg.
Spider-Leg Helm was wanted for
the atrocious killing of Time. Time
had never harmed him but since
Time and Tide went hand in hand,
Spider-Leg figured Time was all
wet and did not want it on his
hands under those conditions, so he
murdered it. The accomplices in
the crime who induced Spider-Leg
to perpetrate the dreadful deed were
Willie da Dulpe," Rorick," Little
Time" Swayze, and mo Excuse"
Wall, who was Helms moll. She
was wanted for many things besides
kidnapping old men and sticking
pins into little babies. The gangs
stooge, Hard Work" Fyfe, was
wanted for stealing snoozes in study
hall. -s .,
Upon arriving on the scene of the
dastardly act, Lorraine could find
only one clew-the scythe of Old
Man Time. This she hid up her coat
sleeve and proceeded to follow the
bloody footprints which led from
the scene of the crime. The trail
led to an old shack, secluded in the
mountains which no student has
ever been able to conquer.
Crashes into Shack g.. g.
The shack looked so mysteriously
dark that Lorraine figured it must
be haunted by a ghost of a chance.
She climbed nearby tree and slid
out toward the tip of branch so as
to get better look at the roof
which she suspected might cover
something. With a sharp report the
branch broke and Lorraine went
crashing down the chimney in reg
ular Santa Claus style.
When she landed with a bump,
she became aware of an enormous
net hanging upon the wall of the
shack. This at first seemed rather
fishy to her but in a moment she
came to the amazing conclusion that
this was the web that Spider-Leg
used with which to lure Time into
his fatal grasp.
Beginning a minute inspection of
the web, Lorraine was not aware Of
Spider-Leg creeping slowly up be-
hind her. As his long, sinewy fingers

MRS. CHURCH
DISHES OUT

AS this reporter looked into the
office, she saw Mrs. Church busily
handing out excuses, pencils, ETC.,
so she stepped into line to await
her turn. When asked, "Well, what
do you want?" she replied meekly,
"An interview"
Upon inquiry, she found that Mrs.
Church was born in st. Louis, Mo-
the date happens to be her pet
peeve. She was educated in st.
Louis. She has been here fourteen
years and has been working in the
Kennewick high school office for
three years.
When asked what she is noted
for, she replied, "Oh, dumbness, !
guess"
Her favorite activities were bas-
ketball, tennis and ice skating.
First impression of KRIS? II
was bouyed up by the representation
of the youth Of the nation learning
to be future citizens Of our cosmo-
politan metropolis"
Mrs. Church says her most, most
precious possession is that black
onyx ring with the small diamond
in the center, that she wears on the
third finger of her left hand.
When the stroller asked her what
she thought the defects Of the
school were she said, "Carelessness
of students in returning report cards
on time, and we have to make out
entirely too many tardy excuses"
She also said 81 think the Broad
caster is very interesting paper"
Her goal is to educate her fair
haired, young daughter, Elinor.

LILLY PLOTTER,
SEEKING PAROLE
u. S. Justice Department
Studies Appeal Backed by
Rep. Greenwood.

Times Special
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The
Justice Department Board of Re-
New today considered a pardon sp-
peal for Carlos Mcneil, 24-year-
I'D former Indiana University sta
uent serving five-year term at the
Chillicothe co. reformatory for ex-
tortion.
Rep. Arthur Greenwood appeared
before the board to urge a parole
for McNeill who with James Woods,
McNeill's chum in Paragon, Ind,
pleaded guilty TO sending an extor-
ton letter to Eli Lilly Jr., Indian
apolis capitalist. Both recently were
denied paroles.
Since Mcneil is from Paragon in
Morgan County, his mother came
here and enlisted her congressman,
Rep. Greenwood, to aid in the fight
for her sons freedom. The youths
father is Newcastle physician.
$4,000 Demanded in Note
Mr.. Lilly received a letter April 81,
1884, demanding payment of $4,000
on the threat of kidnapping himself
or members Of his family. He was
ordered to place the money in bag
and board a train May from In
dianapolis to Vincennes. When he
saw white flag tied to a tree,
he was to throw off the sack of
money.

country church, and the type
writer used to write the threaten
ing letter.

specimens of tipping on almost all of
the machines in Morgan County,
