SHOP CLASS
AIDS SCHOOL

The construction class held the
fourth period with about twenty
boys, has done the school credit.
They started the year by working in
the athletic field, doing various
things, such as spreading and rak-
ing cinders on the track and putting
up the fence around the football
field. Members of the class have
shown their skill making scenery
for the senior play and the operet-
ia, and plan on making it for the
all-class play to be put on April 16.
Those in the class who do not work
in the field and around the school
building are making projects in the
shop. Owen Baze went to work on
the clock and managed to make it
run 40 hours a day. Harold Lenze
gave Frank Wilson a bawling out for
using his planer. Even though there
is lot of foolishness in the class,
much is accomplished and it is
hoped that the school will continue
this work next week.

BOYS SEE NEW
PHONE OFFICE

Friday morning Mr.. Clark and
Mr.. Barbee rounded up a group OF
those interested in science, to in
vite them to a trip to the new tel
ephone office in Pasco.
During activity period they were
escorted to BUSES and to the new
office, where they were divided into
smaller groups, each with a special
guide, who explained how the var
ious lines came into the office and
were connected to the switchboard
A special type of fuse was shown to
the boys and the latest method OF
furnishing current. Next they were
shown sections from different types
of cables and their use was eX-
planned. Correct use of the tele-
phone itself was demonstrated as
we'll as the newst aids to hearing.
Lastly the group saw how the
switchboard was operated but most
of the boys seemed to be as much
interested in the operator as in
the operation.
The students returned feeling that
the telephone business is a very
complicated affair and that there
is much to know.

FATHER BOSCH
SPEAKS ATH. S.

The student body was honored by
a talk by Father Dosch Tuesday
morning. Father Bosch spoke on
Character Education.
We are very much pleased with
the praise given us towards our
school plays. He stated that the
scenery should be graded AAA. He
also stated that instead of the house
being half packed, it should be
packed at least six times.
He also praised the ticket cam
paigns. He said that he hoped that
all students helped out.
He made statement saying that
if the audience wasn't satisfied with
his speech, they could leave. We are
glad to report that nobody left.
Continuing his talk, Father Bosch
told about the schools which he
attended. He said that if you 60 to
college, you should know what you
are going for, and not go merely for
a good time.
Father Bosch made a diagram on
the board, showing how our know
ledge increases during each school
year. He also explained that we
should specialize in one particular
course.
We hope that we will be able to
hear Father Bosch again in the
near future.

MOVIES AGAIN
FOR STUDENTS

Cougar, The King Killer" a mo-
ton picture was given at the high
school, March 24th,, 2:30 p. m.
The American Rockies are the
home of cougar or mountain lion,
the king killer, who has price on
his head because he not only kills
annually thousands of deer, but
large numbers of sheep and cattle
as we'll. Jay Bruce, California
state cougar hunter, and his ia
nous dogs have already captured
hundreds of cougars.
In this picture, we accompanied
him on his great hunt and after
a long dangerous chase, saw his
amazing capture of the notorious
"old man" of the species. When this
daring lion hunter fought single
handed a huge cougar in forked
tree, you are observing one of the
most thrilling wild animal episodes
that has ever been filmed.
This picture also included Amer
lean Indians in native dances,
games, ceremonies and tribal rites.

Hawlinson appeared in songs that
everybody knows.

EASTER BUNNY
REEVES HOPE

Hello there. kiddiesI Have you
been good little boys and girls, eat
ing your spinach and Wheaties for
today? Tonight. I will give you
for your Sleepytime story the in
side dope on the adventures of
| this years Easter bunny.
Once upon a time. bunny came
Looping in from the sagebrush, not
caring whittier he strayed. His large
lustrouS eyes were filled with tears
and his long ears dropped sadly
And go wonder! Already he had
met eight people and upon telling
them of the eggs he would lay for
them on Easter. they only laughed
at him scornfully.
"Ah me-" signed the bunny, as
one large tear dropped off the end
of his quivering nose, life is not
worth living. No one believes in
Easter Dummies. Maybe there aren't
any and I have only been kidding
myself"
At these words, he burst into
tears of a crocodile size. All this
time he had been Looping along, not
noticing what direction he was 60
ing in and so he was nightly sur
prised when he saw in front of him
the good old KRIS. building. Be-
fore he could say, Jack Rabbit"
there stood before him a tall young
fellow clad in nothing more or less
than a pair of track pants. Pluck
ing up his courage and his eye mon
ocle, the melancholy bunny quer-
ried of the lad. hopelessly,
do you believe in Easter bum
nies?"
OF course, he knew what the an
swer would be and he waited finch
ingly for it. To his surprise, the
young lad looked down at Easter
Rabbit with hurt expression in
his eyes.
"Of course" he said Indignantly,
who's been telling you different
ly? Who else would bring the Eas-
ter eggs?"
Easter rabbits mouth fell open.
Then with a decisive snap of his
teeth he said firmly, young man,
your defense of the age old tradi-
ton has proved your worth. You
shall be rewarded for your kind
ness"
And within two shakes of a jack
rabbits tail, Easter bunny was gone.
Sure enough, the lad who had the
courage to stand up for the right
was amply rewarded. On Easter
morning guess what he found?
Three brightly-c olored Easter eggs!
That is all for tonight. boys and
girls. It is time for your Uncle Dud-
ley to sign off. Goodnight. sleep
tight and don't let the bed-bugs
bite!

of the conference and the trip.

homes began at o'clock, lasting
until $50. The banquet was sched-
uled for $50, with songs by the
group and music furnished by a
high school orchestra. After din
ner speeches were made by the Rev.
c. E. McAllister who spoke on
Youth Faces a New World" and
by Rabbi A. H. Fink of Spokane
with President Bob Kenyon, of Wal
la Walla, as POSTMASTER. The BAN
quet closed Friday night with the
organization of five discussion
groups.
Saturday morning the program
opened with song service, follow
ed by a talk en- complete disarm-
ment and non-violence by Rev Rad
cliff. A meeting of the discussion
groups again took place. the topics
being centered on War and Peace.
Saturday afternoon was free to
do as the members pleased, but the
most of them attended social hour
at the Y. NJ. c A., where they were
entertained by the girl reserves.
A six o'clock banquet was held
with the main speeches being made
by E. E. Saunders of Fort George
Wright, and the Rev. Ernest Could
er of Spokane. Songs were sung
with much merriment and sports
man ship of the group, even the
girls waiting tables. After the ban
quet there was more discussion by
the groups to bring up other phases
of the subject. Meeting adjourned
at $50 with some of the members
attending a dance at the Metro
nome.
Conference session began at 10
o'clock Sunday morning, with Sec
ond vice president Stanley Fish pre-
siding and song service followed
by an address, What Are the Next
Steps?" by w. c. Moseley of Spo-
kane A short meeting of the groups
was hello to summarize the previous
discussions. The conference closed

the groups.
Officers elected for the confer
ence next year are: Leonard Todd
of Pullman, as president; Dick Lamb
Of Milton reewater, vice president;
Roy Forester of Spokane, treasur-
er.
From 255 questionnaires sent out
before the conference it was learn
ed that nearly everyone was against
war. 1t is believed that there are
two methods of checking it: one by
disarmament and non-violence, the
other by aboliShing the cause of war
and then disarmament. The latter
course was decided to be the best
at the present time.
Those who went reported having
a very good time as we'll as learn
ing a great deal and they feel as
tho they heard both sides of the
disarmament question presented
fairly.

the freshmen are ahead in the pay
ment of dues and it will be they
