STROLLER AND
VIRGINIA MIX

The Stroller Just doesn't know
what she will do when she runs out
Of Senior Broadcaster reporters to
interview. This week Virginia Car
penter has surrendered her life his
tory.
IT was born in Pontiac, Michigan.
When? Now that would be telling,
but think it was November Is,
1913. I have attended school in
Altmont, Michigan and Kennewick.
I like Kennewick better because I
really didn't attend long enough in,
Altmont to even realize what school
was about. My highest ambition is
to be able to answer all the Stroll
ler's questions (Which she can't do.)
My pet peeve is doting parents. MY
greatest interest at school? I have
none. Yes, I certainly do like sports,
preferably tennis. My greatest weak
ness is cream chocolate. My most
embarrassing moment was when I
was playing as Emma" in the all
class play last year. In my four
years Of high school I think en-
joyed Latin more than anything
else. My favorite movie actors are
Rin-T in-Tin and Robert Taylor. My
hobby? Swimming. I am undecided
as to whether I will go to college or
not. I expect to be a beauty cultur-
list for my life work.

NEW ARSENAL
in SCHOOL

The Home &c room has become
popular resort for boys this week.
1t seems that Miss Michaelsen and
Miss Howard have been amusing
the boys by playing soldier with
them anyway, the Home &c labor
atory has as a decoration Of num-
erous firearms which the boys Of
the high school come to examine at
various intervals. It is interesting
to note the reactions of the girls Of
the Home &c classes and especially
those who set near the implements
Of war, or what have you. Some set
as far as possible away from them,
others are intensely interested in
the whole procedure.
In all the whole. thing is inter-
esting, especially the fact of the boys
interest in Home &c.

SENIOR CLASS
TO GIVE BALL

The senior ball will be held March

music will be furnished by Kak's
Ambassadors.
This has not been an annual
event on the school calender. This
years dance may establish it as the
Junior Prom has been in the many
years past.
The seniors are deeply indebted
to the Juniors for deciding on April
as the Prom date. They are very
glad there is no conflict because of
he dates. AS there will be a month
between dances they feel sure the
crowd will not be affected. They
sincerely hope both dances will be
successful and may be continued in

HI-Y MAY HAVE
GLIDER CLUB

At last the wishes and dreams of
all the air-minded boys, and also
girls, may come true. At the last
Hi-Y meeting the project of spon-
soring glider-club was brought up,
and it seems that it is not an inn
possible pipe dream. President Bob
Stradford says a glider can be pur-
chased for around $50 and an in
structor could easily be obtained.
Membership in the club would be
sold to cover the expenses and the
more members the less the member
ship fee would be. The club would
be open for any one to join. If
you are interested talk it up and let
the Hi-Y know.

BASEBALLTEAM
IS GIVEN UP

Basketball season having drawn
to close for our school most every
student is affected with a peculiar
weakness called spring fever or the
call Of the wild.
They all like to get out in the
fresh air and sunshine. Because Of
pecuniary deficiency. in the A. s. B.
treasury there is said to be little
chance Of having a baseball team
as we have in the past, but it has
been reported that a track team will
be organized for competition with
other schools.
The p. E. classes have felt the
vanderbilt apd have been seen out
hunting yellowbells or communing
with nature in some way. Kittyball
is also one of our popular sports.
Several pupils are going about with
sore arms received from throwing
the "ol apple" too hard and far. OF
course some Of the boys with big
ger and better ideas have been seen
playing marbles with the grade
children and another, in weak
er moment. was found rolling a
hoop about evidently enjoying him
self very much.
From now on we anticipate a
great increase in the hockey play
ing racket, but Mr.. CLARK has q new
idea for detentionests so there is
no gain there. The new school house
is another source Of interest. Stu
dents are often seen sitting on the
sunny side Of a lumber pile and
basking in the sun while watching
the construction of our new domi-
cile. From all indications spring is
here.

LIONS FINISH IN 4TH PLACE
AT YAKIMA; LOSE CLOSE
GAME TO ELLENSBURG

The Kennewick Lions were final
ly eliminated from the Yakima
tournament Friday when they met
defeat in the hands of the Ellens-
burg quintet. The boys captured
fourth place honors before being
eliminated, however. In the after
noon they took the Gle Elum team
q to % and bowed to Ellensburg in
the evening, after the best played
and best matched game of the
tournament.
Everyone considers this one of
the best seasons Kennewick has had
in basketball for quite some time.
They took three out Of four games
in the Southern District conference,
dropping one to Pasco, besides win
ming practically all their other
games. Some of the non-conference
teams they defeated are: Hanford,
two games; Connell, two games;
Touchet, two games and split a pair
with the high-powered Dayton
team.
The scoring for the season is far
above that of the opponents. Oil
yer has been the big shot of the
season, averaging upwards of ten
points per game and totaling more
than 300 points for the entire sea-
son. The school has prospects of
an excellent team next year, seven
of the first eight being juniors and
Williams, the other, will graduate.
Next year we will have big gym
which will help lot and you may
be sure they'll go to town in a big
way.

To Resubmit Treaty
For St. Lawrence
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

President Roosevelt's decision to
submit a new st. Lawrence Water
way Treaty to the Senate today in
sured another spirited parliamen.
tary battle over that issue unless
the new pact is materially differ.
ent than the one rejected in 1884.
The Senate rejected the first
treaty, calling for joint construc-
ton of a $500 100000 waterway
from the Great Lakes to the At
lantic, upon the ground it con-
ferred far greater benefits on Can
ada than on the United States.
Critics charged it would ruin
eastern American SeaportS by
transferring Midwest traffic to
Canadian ports and would compel
American taxpayers to pay for
this destruction.
Many Issues Raised
Many issues were raised. Mid
Westerners charged the treaty
gave Canada sovereignty over the
American Lake Michigan. Critics
from the Mississippi valley
charged it would ruin commerce
along that mighty Father Of
Waters"
The question Of Chicago's water
supply was injected, too. Senator
Lewis Cd, of Illionis, led the bat
tie against the treaty, charging
it would limit Chicago's use of
lake water.
The power issue also was in
vovled. Critics asserted the treaty
gave Canada 100000 horsepower
out of 100000 to be developed
along the route.
Cost Not Shared
Another source of attack was
division of costs, with the United
States paying $272,435,000 to
Canada's $27O,976,000 but with
critics charging much of Canada's
participation was already con.
structed, or for local needs.
Senators Borah (R) of Idaho,
Vandenberg (R) of Mich, and
LaFollette (R) Of Wis, led the
fight for the treaty. They called
it the development Of a natural
water outlet" to the seas for the
whole midwest and argued it
wuold reduce transportation costs
on all American exports from
the midwest, thus opening new
world markets to the interior Of
the nation.
