BASKET BALL The outlook for the term’s basket-ball is indeed promising, par- ticularly because of that new court, soon to appear. Just to think that we now will have a suitable spot where we can receive our bloomer-clad guests, fills our hearts with joy and gladness. We sing in praise of every girl who helped raise the funds, and those are, chiefly—ourselves. But, indeed, we are very grateful to all who helped us, to the staff of the “Girls’ Acorn,” who most generously turned over the proceeds of that edition to the good cause; to the Board of Education, who so kindly made up the deficit, and to every boy who spent his dimes and nickels for our delicious hom e-made candy. Under the new captain, Miss Schlageter, and through the efficient coaching of Miss Haworth and Miss Hewett, the girls expect to ac- complish great things in the coming months. Several games are already arranged, three with San Mateo, and one with Girls’ High. The first San Mateo game is scheduled for the 22nd of this month and is looked forward to with the keenest anticipation. You all know the fame of those San Mateo games nd the royal good times we have. Now wouldn't that be a delightful way to spend Wshington’s Birthday, to take a pleasant trip to San Mateo, to say nothing of giving the girls a few rousing good cheers and a little encouragement? The rooting section of the basket-ball games generally consists of a very small number of students. Would it be possible for us to have at least the undivided support of the girls? Although several new girls have joined the team this year, so few of last year’s team are with us to share our victoriets (ordefeats), that there is still much room for new material. There are only a few to uphold the girls’ basket-ball honors in the A. H. S., and those few wel- come everyone who joins them. Don’t think you must come merely as a duty, girls, but just think of the pleasure one gets, and the benefit derived from a little healthful exercise. Try just one practice, and see for yourselves. Those who have recently joined certainly do not regret it. And then there are no dues!!!

ASSOCIATED STUDENTS The first Associated Students’ meeting was held January 15, 1906, President Brush presiding. Dr. Thompson’s speech of welcome to the students was appreciated very much by all. Again this term, we had a very lengthy discussion as to how many members from each class should be on the executive committee. As the constitution is very indefinite, and parts of it, scattered, a motion was passed that the committee elected compose the Executive Committee for this term. A motion was passed that a committee be appointed, which in con- junction with Dr. Thompson and Miss Hohfeld, should frame a new constitution. At a meeting of the “Associated Students” held January 26, 1906, the students heard the glad news of the enlarging of the stage and the procuring of suitable scenery. The students will no longer have to rent a place to present their entertainments. Bids are also out for the building of a basket-ball court. The Low Senior Class will give the first of the Friday afternoon entertainments, about the middle of February. It is an original farce, written by HelenStroupe, Ida Spence, and Adele Ehrenberg. It promises to be very funny and contains many joshes on the students and faculty. CLASS ORGANIZATIONS June, ‘06 has organized for its finale term. Frank Lawrence is President; Helen White, Vice-Pres; May Bissell, Sec.; Ted Lynch, Treas. The following officers of the class of December, '06 were elected the last part of last term, and are as follows: Pres., Howard Fassett; Vice- Pres., Ida Spence; Sect’y, Grace Renner; Treas., Henry Jackson. The meetings of the class have been very enthusiastic. The dance, which the class is to give, promises to be a very swell affair. The date is set for the 23rd of February, and the bids have already been printed. The music, refreshments and decorations have been planned with the greatest care, and promise to be the most elaborate ever seen at the High School dance.
