Mr. Carboneau says that he expects a turn-out of fifteen or twenty on his basketball squad this year. The boys have had one successful practice although many of the regular members have not yet returned from work. As soon as the fruit season is over, basketball will assume its rightful importance.
The turn-out for girls' basketball has so far proven satisfactory. A group of eighteen girls, from a gym class of twenty-one, will endeavor to meet with the standard qualification of the first team. This year's line up outnumbers last year's nearly two to one and Miss Duvall, girls' coach, is expecting big things from the team. The first practice, last Tuesday evening, witnessed great enthusiasm from the participants.
STUDENTS ! ! ! ! !
Don't miss the Costume Masquerade at the High School Wednesday night, Oct. 26. The Senior Class is in charge and promises everyone a grand time.
DEBATE
The first debate recruits were called Wednesday morn at 11:20. The following nine boys turned out: Juniors, Elroy Wiehl, Carrol Meeker; Sophomores, Charlie Goodner, Forrest Heath, Thurston Foltz; Freshmen, Freddie Gilhuly, Phillip Hemker, John Keal. They are being coached by Mrs. Nelson. Apparently, the high school girls are not sufficiently argumentative to participate in debate.
The state question for the year was discussed. It seemed a little difficult at first but it became quite simple before the master minds were through with the discussion. It is: "Resolved: That at least one half of all state and local revenues should be derived from sources other than tangible property." This subject should be of great interest to the public.
For the sake of practice the boys are working on the age-old proposition, "Resolved: That the country is the best place to rear children."
Debate is a new venture for most of the boys but if their present enthusiasm does not abate it should be successful.
GRADE SCHOOL NEWS
The fifth and sixth grades are busy making pine needle baskets. The needles, when brought to school by Mr. Janney, were a novelty to the students, as many had never before seen dried pine needles before.
The grades are also designing pictures and posters for the Hallowe'en season.
Kristine Sigurdson expounding glories of Sage Brush Annie -Bob Shelledy taking his brother's advice Louise Shinn confining her gaze to the chair in front of her--Billy Keal looking important--Capitola Griffith gnashing her teeth--Helen Wheeler hunting hairpins--Bobby Clark insisting that his good looks naturally attract the teachers' attention--Freddie Gilhuly with another idea--Dody Holecek reconnoitering-Dode Hemker writing a letter and Louise Walker carrying one in her pocket-Elroy Wiehl and Miss Duvall arguing.
She said-It was a swell party-- something happened to the lights!
Mr. Nelson--John. tell the class how iron was discovered.
John--Why, I always understood they smelt it.
Miss Duvall--Frank, what is a conjugation?
Frank-A conjugation is the members in a church.
THROUGH THE MICROSCOPE
Lillian Ray contributed a small crayfish to the zoology aquarium Monday morning.
Elsalea Baker forgot to put a label on one of her zoology drawings and she had a little difficulty explaining to Mr. Nelson that it was a mosquito and not a gyro-plane
The Zoology class has a pet peeve. The girl who goes around insisting that other peoples' drawings of plant aphids look like railway locomotives.
Cheer up Capitola! You won't have to draw nasty caterpillars any more.
Mosquito pupae are much prettier.
Whar's that Cyanide bottle?
What a queer bird the frog are!
When he sit he stand-almost;
When he walk he fly-almost;
When he sing he cry-almost;
He ain't got no sense--hardly;
He ain't got no tail-hardly, either;
He sit on what he ain't got--almost.
SENIOR NEWS
The Seniors are getting anxious about their rings. The order has been sent but we still don't know when to expect them.
FOOTBALL GAME
A very exciting game of touch football was played between White Bluffs and Hanford last Tuesday afternoon.
Our boys put up a very good fight and a few times the game had the appearance of tackle football. Incidentally, the score was 6-2 in Hanford's favor.
Rah! Rah! Hanford!
