Although having had but two rehearsals, they did well and receivved much praise. On the same evening Bliss Churchill sang, she has an exception- ally sweet voice and as the hearty applause indicated, her selections were highly appreciated. Another feature of the program was two numbers by the Girls' Quartette. The girls rendered their selections splendidly. Both of the Glee Clubs have been practicing diligently, no changes having been made with the exception of the changing of the Girl-4' Glee Club rehearsals from Tuesday and VVednesdays to Thursdays.

:ff , 6 '5 Mfg THE 'H ESPERIAN TLCDCATLS On November 29 the Thanksgiving program was held. RIT. Tooze had promised us a great surprise which we had looked forward to all day. Mr. Hankins from Burmeister and Andresen's gave a concert on the Edison diamond disk, playing many popular and clas- sical pieces which were greatly enjoyed by all. After .a song by the girls' guartet a short booster meeting was held for the football games, which was played on Thanksgiving day with James John High. We wonder how soon Frank Milliken will learn to turn around in his seat when Miss Carlson tells him to. He seems to have trouble discriminating between one-fourth and one-half way around. An entertainment for the benefit of the Athletic Assocication was given Friday evening, December 8, when the program consisted of readings by Mr. Mason, assited by the orchestra, Miss Churchill, and the girls' quartet. This entertainment proved successful financially as well as otherwise. VVe wonder how Earl Paddock got to be so skilled in magic? That perfumed cork of his seems to influence all that are under its power! On December 5, Augusta Mayor, of The Dalles, and Rudy Planting, a football player of Astoria High, visited O. C. H. S. VVe wish to advise Andrew Naterlin not to pay quite so much attention to the faculty. This also holds true in the case of Burt Lageson! An assembly was called on December 12, when Mr. Tooze intro- duced Mr. Cook, the postmaster, who spoke of the conditions of the mail in the postoffice and advised us to be more careful, in the future, with our packages, especially at Christmas time. ' , We 'know a little secret that we want to tell you, but you must promise not to tell -anyone else. It is that a well-known senior athlete is quite struck with a pretty sophomore girl and quite a romance takes place during the noon hour. Haven't you noticed it? The Christmas program was held on December 22. It was shorter than usual so that We could be dismissed early, and attend the candy sale which was given by the Domestic Science classes. After a short program by the members of the school we were addressed by Rev. Hawkins on The Spirit of Christmasf' The Christmas vacation consisting of ten days, was greatly en- joyed by all. Now, however, we are all looking forward to the mid- term vacation and exams. We hope that Tom Lovett will take lVIiss Todd's good piece of advice C Keep still a minute until I find out how much you don't know. j M.S.H. 'l7. 'i. J.
