INMATES
VACATION

AS we wandered around during
the pre-Easter vacation we observ-
ed the strange and some not sc
strange doings of the KRIS. stu
dents.
We asked Martha Lincoln what
she happened to be doing and she
replied that she stayed at home
alone. Part of this we found to be
true; she was alone Cor almost, as
Harland was with her) walking
around.
And by the way, G-Woman Giles
if you should have need of Tubby
Wall or Pat Helm we know where
you can find them any time of the
day-up in the tennis court raising
the score on each other.
We have had the G-Woman out
scouting around, but we can't seem
to pin the goods on Miss Hopkins
Whatever it was that she did, it
must have been pretty bad as she
now has a week of detention. Tut,
l ~, IAloS 11OPhAAlS. VAV, Vue'
At last we've got the goods on
Barbara Hauschild and Marcia Vim
cent. A few days ago about eatin'
time we watched them wend their
way wetly homeward, their clothes
being slightly damp, leaving little
rivers behind them. It seems that
the canoe tipped over and the gen.
tlemen in the case had to fish them
out.
We ran into Lowell Higley, who
was walking along in a daze( just
like he has done for days and days
and days.. We asked him how he
liked the weather and he dream
lily murmured, "She's beautiful"
Again we say tut, tut!
Mrs. Church steadfastly MAIN
tanned that she did nothing that
could be published. And we thought
she was so nice.
We are firmly convinced that
whatever it was Miss Hopkins did
up in Spokane, Miss Michaelson
was in on it. And she won't talk,
either. How do they expect us to
publish a paper, anyway? Nuts.

SPEAKING NOW
is MADE EASY

For a truly interesting assembly
program. a number of different ele-
ments are needed.
From my wide range of exper-
fence. I have jotted down few OF
the elements, the first being clap
ping. There is nothing quite SO
heartening to the speaker as con-
tinuous hand-clapping by one per-
son after the rest of the applause
has died down. This gives the
speaker a feeling of abandon; that
| is, he would like to abandon all po-
lite pretenses (as well as the as
sembly) and throw something. But
no, it is impossible to do this, so he
smiles a CHASTITY smile and tries to
60 or. The next element is i'm
mediately noticed; right in front of
the speaker sits a fair maiden whose
jaws (by all laws of nature) ought
to be exhausted but aren't. In reg
ular rhythmic time, they move up
and down-up and down, until the
speaker becomes as fascinated that
further continuation of the speech
is practically impossible. Only the
greatest of will power enables him
to 60 on, for even if he does look
away, he can still hear the steady
crackle that accompanies the ex-
perienced gumchewer's gumchew-
ing.
Next, the speaker becomes aware
of steady stare which goes right
through him. The speaker doesn't
mind this so much only that it
gives him a queer feeling Of not
being there. He speculates on the
idea of wigwagging his hands or
making a face, but suddenly recalls
the rest of the audience. He mere
ly moves to one side. Soon, however,
he finds it imperative to move
again. This is what the speaker
overhears: $50 I told him that I
was through and he said, isn't that
nice? So am II" Well, you can guess
what I told him!"
The speaker simply can't guess
and wants to say, but again, re-
Numbering the audience, he goes
on.
He hasn't gone through anything
yet, though. Not until he hears the
noon bell ring, and he hasn't fin
ished his speech and a mighty stir
sweeps the room. It is vague i'm
pulse to revenge his wrongs that
keeps him rambling on for fifteen
more minutes. With real enjoyment
he glances about the room as he
speaks, noting the various positions
this one is ready to leap at the
close Of the speakers mouth-that
one is wearing an abused and hun
cry look.
If he weren't so hungry himself,
the speaker would like to stop and
tell some of those young whipper-
snappers what he thinks of them.
(But after all, the wife would be
angry if husband kept dinner wait
ing.)

Alice B. Ayers, Reporter

Despite the terrific sand storm
raging till noon, the members Of
Horse Heaven grange had the hall
swept and ready for the Pomona
meeting by 2:3O pm. Had the wind
continued as it was, no meeting
would have been held.
The Master being delayed, grange
was called to order at 3:15 by the
Overseer. Seven officers were alb
sent. New regalia was purchased
for the executive committee.
The lecturer reported having sent
a card to every subordinate grange
asking for the membership of the
grange March 81, 1885 and March
81, 1896. AS the gavel committee
must have this information to score
the gavel cards the lecturer asks
that each secretary send this infor-
nation to her at once.
Resolutions were as follows:
From White Bluffs favoring the
teaching of the principals of coop
Grafton in the public schools. APP
proved by the committee and the
report accepted.
From Walla Walla County Po-
mona that as the commercial hay
growers and the cattle and dairy in
dustry have been Disseminated
against in the agricultural set-up
compensation be extended to them.
Disapproved by the committee and
report adopted.
From Thurston County Pomona:
AS it is necessary for all cattle own
ers to submit to the Bangs test to
sell milk or to sell or dispose other
wise of any cattle other than by
slaughter and the payment Of in
demnity is delayed many, many
months be condemned. Approved
and report adopted.
From Stevens County Pomona
favoring the establishing of two
or more Polytechnic schools for
the teaching of cooperation in the
state, one on the East side and one
or more on the West side. Approved
by the committee. Report not sus-
tanned by the grange.

EASTER SUITS
ARE BECOMING

While watching the Easter Parade
I noticed innumerable new suits,
blouSeS and dresses.
Marcia Vincent wore a lovely new
suit. And while speaking of suits,
(no law suits, or equity suits involv-
ed, as Bill Terrell seems to think)
we must mention Mary Margaret's
new grey flannel suit. Then, too,
several of the boys blossomed out
In new suits. Did you see Franklin
Brindel in gray and Pat O'Neil in
navy blue? They were simply ador-
able.
We saw Peggy Burton and Alma
Dean Wysong together-Peg in a
new blue taffeta blouse while AL
madean was sporting a new twin
sweater set. It was aqua blue, the
latest in color and in style.

Last week we left Percy riding out

has ridden for three hours without
stopping to even look around. Sud-
denly, like a comet flashing across
the sky, Percy comes to a conclu-
sion. He realizes he is not alone
In the world for before him stands
none other than the dangerous Sir
AIgernon Button, commonly called
the black knight. They stand and
face each other with looks that
would have melted ironmen. After
sitting in this manner for two
moons Percy, the fearless acts. He
