LIMO. GLASS REPORT

On Tuesday, November lst, along with all the rest of the high school classes, the Juniors held their reg ular class meeting. It was a very important meeting, as there was much business discussed. The date for the Junior Prom was set for February II, 1889. The president asked each member of the class to submit his idea of what he would like for the decorations at the next meeting, and vote would be taken as to which one was the best. There is to be a surprise at the Junior Prom, and we aren't going to tell you what it is for quite a while. It is going to be something very diff ferent, and we feel sure that you will want to come and see "it'', when the Prom is held.
 The Juniors class pennant has disappeared and the president ap- pointed Walter Carruthers and Alan Mckay as sleuths to track down the missing article. It is be- lieved that someone has put it away just for joke on us. We feel sure though, that Walter aud Alan will find the guilty person or persons.

JACK. THE CROW

One morning Jack, the pet crow, came to visit us. He flew to Miss Mayberry's desk and tried to take her pen away. He tried to open a book, but each time he put his claws on it so it could not open. Then he started to pick on the flowers, but the teacher took them away.

Joe Station, hustling first base
man of the American Giants, the
champions of the Puget Sound
League, is noted for his versatility
off the playing field as well as on
the diamond. Besides playing a
bang-up first base, Joe can pitch
in a pinch, has a good fast ball,
and with little more practice he
would undoubtedly become regu-
lar pitcher. He also can play the
outfield as well.
Off the diamond, Joe has been
starred in several productions of
the Federal Theatre. Among his
outstanding successes were leads
in Natural Man." and BLACK
Empire" where he gave master
full performance, as the Emperor
Henri I of Haiti To top off his
ability, Mr.. Station is a popular col
umnist, as well as a good adver-
Using man. He was recently add
ed to the list of benedicts, and he
and Mrs. Station are among the
most popular young couples in the

Citizens Resent State Discrimination
State Highway Officials Action Against U. of W.
Graduate Brings Remarks

doubt will be made to learn = is
that ten-thousand Negro citizens
and thousands more of fair-minded
white citizens in the State of
Washington, resent this attitude
on the part of public officials.
Elected officials, the public
holds personally responsible for
their own acts. 1t also holds them
responsible for the acts of those
officials whom they appoint =
who are, in fact, their agents. The
appointed officials, too, are held
personally responsible for their
own acts; but their responsibility
is not merely personable, it extends
on up to the one who appointed
them. This gives the public it's
only control over government.
The language of both our FEEDER
al and State Constitution is per-
fectly clear on this point. In this
case, if the Governor fails in his
duty to correct this discrimina-
ton, taxpayers have perfect
right not only to petition the Fed
eral Government to withhold such
funds, but to petition our courts
to enjoin the State from using pub
lie funds for any purpose in which
the color of citizens skin is the
basis for discrimination.

Popular Couple Are
Wed at WV. CA.
by Isabel Donaldson

One of the loveliest affairs of
the summer season which brought
to close the month of July, was
the Cage-Blackwell nuptials held
at the Y.W.C.A. Sunday, July 81,
when Miss Margaret v. Cage, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Barney
Kemp, and Mr.. Roland Blackwell,
son of Mrs. Louise Blackwell, were
joined in holy matrimony by the
Rev. Fred Hughes.
The ceremony was performed in
the small alcove near the fire
place which was decorated very
beautifully with white crepe paper,
candlabras and huge basket of
white and pink gladiolus.
The bride looked lovely in a
white chiffon dress with a lace
jacket and a lace trimmed veil
studded with pearls. Her bouquet
consisted of gardenias, sweet peas
and rosebuds.
Miss Olga Hudson, sister of the
bride and maid of honor, wore pink
organdy, while the four brides
maids, Miss Doris Booker, Miss
Evelyn Winston, Miss Alice Pow
ell and Miss Isabella Donaldson,
wore blue, orchid, yellow and green
organdy respectively. A gardenia
and ribbons to match the dresses
were worn in their hair.
The groom wore dark double
breasted suit, and the bestman and
brother of the groom, Mr.. Alfred
Blackwell, wore grey. Mr.. Barney
Kemp, stepfather of the bride,
gave her away.
The wedding march was played
by Mr.. Palmer Johnson, who also
accompanied Miss Doris Booker
when she sang two lovely songs,
"At Dawning" before the cere-
mony, and always and Always"
before the benediction.
The reception was held imme-
diately after, with cake, ice cream
and coffee served by the mothers

In the issue of July 30, we are
informed that discrimination be-
cause of color, has been brought
to light in our State Highway De-
partment. The action of Mr..
Trumbull, engineer in charge of
personnel, who is said to have con-
suited some employees in the de-
partment regarding employment of
Negro engineer, constitutes alb
out one of the worse forms of Chi
canery to which public official
could resort. Since when did 1t
become the privilege of public en-
ployees to say in what capacity
a citizen may serve in the highway
department or any other depart
ment?
All funds allotted for highway
projects by the Federal Govern
ment as are funds matched by the
State, come directly from tax
payers pockets, and every citizen
is entitled to a fair and equal OPP
portunity to share in the benefits
from these funds according to the
individuals ability. And no one
has right to deny this opportun-
ity to a citizen merely because of
color.

sitions need to learn = an, no
