TEE ANUAL BIG- SAITBy EIGE SCHOOL CARNIVAL Friday, October 28 th, is the date set for the sec- ond annual High be bool Garni? I. Last yearls Carnival according to ounside reports was a howling success, but that will lock small in. comparison to the coming one. Each class is to have some stunt cf their own and will compete-with each other as to who will have the best. Consequently great efforts are being put forth by everyone concerned. Ail manner of bo ths will be set up in the halls where one can buy anything from peanuts to shoestrings. Then there will be the big centre attracti on, the High School Vaudeville Show, which will make you laugh until you weep And don't forget to visit the fish pond, you won't have to go home empty handed, or buy from some more fortunate one because every throw brings a catch. During the afternoon the grades will each give a stunt or show or put on an attraction, and from what we hear, everyone who misses them will be out of lucla At about 3:30 in the afternoon the lunch counter will open so you vail not have to go home for lack of ref re sXine xxfc s« The Carnival will wind up with a big dance with rare music. A big High School Carnival parade will take place on the main streets of our city at noon on the twenty- eighth. Be sure you don't miss it. FOOTBALL Football is the latest form of athletics introduced into our school. This improvement has added greatly to our standing as all colleges and High Schools of merit have a team to'represent them in this kind of athletics. In order to play the hoys have to have their grades up to standard, that is, 85 in all subjects. The following team ha? been selectedto represent Big Sandy Cecil Mack, Clifford Flatness, Homer Camp- bell, Neil Turner, Earl Schilling, Marvin Snow, Donald' Shults, Herschell Hurd. Warren McClintoc, Dosia Shults, Herschell Smith. Substitutes: George Hoffsommer, Waine Hoffsommer, Marion Lund, Charles Cole. The first interschool game of the season was played at Havre. Our boys lost to Havre with a score of 31 to 0. But do not worry boys, remember your first game of Basket Ball last year? The next game will be played Friday, Oct. 14. Bigs andy vs, Fort Benton. We are expecting the boys to dig in and do their best this time for we all have a grudge against Benton for what they did to us in Basket Ball. GiEKLBSDDOLaiTOflXr i r To 'bo the number ox tricts v;Iio wished to go to I it has been necessary to fin up hosue foi a gixls1 Dormitory. .s fr or! 1 ural dis- School tills year, the old seliool It has been remodeled in a most claiming way. Six pleasant 100ms have been made. They axe all finished vex y neatly -and ever ything is nice , clean, and home life. All the beds axe in ono 100m adjacent to the very pleasant and much used (?) study room. The dining room has two large tables and a buffet. Then the kitchen and boys waiting room axe both fully equipped with everything necessary. Regular dormitory rules are observed. Breakfast is served at 7:50, lunch at IS;10, dinner at six. Mrs, Madison is a most efficient and capable cook and chaperone for the five girls who make their home her e. E ch girl has to £e on duty for a, week at a time. This means she must be up end get the tables ready for breakfast, help Mr. Ib Mson do the serving and clear up after meals. T on she dries the dishes while one of the boys washes them. This system seems to have worked out very successfully. The girls all seem happy and contented so the dormitory nay be classed as a very successful venture. Tho 3oys Dormitory Due to the greatly inoxecsed number of High School Students this year, it has been necessary for the District to start two Dormitories. One for Boys and one rot girls. Those in the Boys Dormitory aze Clifford Elatness, UeniL.il Robertson, Howard Bartlett, John Russell, Rex Chamber la. in, Alfred iarson, Earl Schilling, and Aeymond Iarson These boys must be on time for their meals which are served at the girls dormitory. Seven o'clock Is the latest the boys can be out without special permission, from their Uncle Walters and if there are any lessons to get this is done be- tween seven-thirty and eight-thirty in a specially arranged stydy hall. The dormitory must be in ship-six:pe, and every 3-xor day the boys get busy .with afmop. The Dormitory has not only increased the_ num- ber in Eigh-School but it has bought the number of boys up to a standing where they are not so afraid of the many girls as they were last year. DRUM TIGS The public viill he vexy interested to find that the members of the it high School are gifted in dra- matic ax t, as several dramatic selections and plays axe to he given during thd coming school yeax. The wonder ful dramatic ability of the Students will he seen at the Vaudeville and orpheem stunt at the Carnival October £8; The vrudeville is the main feature of the Carnival, hut there will he numerous side-shows end acts - U oe This will feature the ability of the grade o. ij.Jren in the afternoon and the wonderful abilities el the High School students at night. A High School play is to he given in Ceeember, fox which the actors will he chosen from the Stud- ents in general, picking those individuals with the most talents and abilities. This is to he one of the enterte.lament ,rHits1T of the season. Other events of the coining year will bring out’ the talents of the members of the different classes, as a Junior play is to be given in February. The biggest hit and main event of the season will bo rendered the last of the School year, of course, the Senior Play is to he last, hut not least, as the Senior Stars will shine out. Oh! so brightly miroil Tliali.TUG This is the first year Brnual Training has been introduced into the curriculum ox the 3.S.H.S Very much progress is being made. Especially be- C' use the department is under the instruction of Hr. Halters. Thus for the class has made work- benches, desks, bookcases, wastebaskets, tool racks and tables. The pupils among whom are two girls, combine with each other in the various under-takings and a fine spirit of co-operation exists among them. PAKODY Oil THE ICTJElhAY PIAY She— fell me a, story. He — Don t know what to tell you. She— Oh! just aa story. He — Well, once, there was a Freshio and he had 4 stick o£ gum, and he chewed and he chewed and he chewed---- She— Then what? He — He chewed and he chewed and he chev ed She— What did he do when he got it all chev ed up? Ee — He got another stick and chewed some more. FIRST MIXER A BIG SUCCESS She first Hi?h School mixer hold September 13th, in the assembly room, was a get-together of the old and now students. The evenings entertainment; in charge of the upper classmen,' consisted of the initiation of the Freshies into the High School Association This produced great merriment for the c be orv on and the Freshies who rede tie ion, so successfully are to he congrat Hated and henceforth are to be regarded as heroic students. For the others-—-.- - % Dancing occupied the remainder of tho evening, followed by light refreshments. A PROBLEM The Boys football suits seem to he quite a curiosity to some of the girls who have never seen them.' The best way to find out what they'look like girls, is to come out full force and root. Why has Cecil Mack been wearing his best suit of clothes to school lately? Me thinks he is trying to shine around some of tho girls. Is he successful? Alta and Gladys say so. VJ$ have been wondering why Cecil and Ethel have to'1 wear glasses, hut now we know since we have watched them in English Literature. It seems as tho they j just canTt make their eyes behave. Why? We’re wondering What s the attraction? We re wondering. Law of Attraction in animate objects. Why are Uncle Walters and Miss Me Comas so anxious to receive exeusesv?) from each other.

GLEE CLUB As every one is now getting more -settled in their studies, it is necessary to Begin our different clubs. 5?lie girls are looking forward to a great career in G3.e e Club work. It has not yet Been decided who will assist the girls. We are exacting the girls to be very successf.il in this work as they have never disappointed us so far, GIRLS BASKET BALL Basket Ball Is going to start in November, all the girls are anxious for the time to come for all of us enjoyed Basket Ball very much last year. Ivlidd Magee is goisig to coach us this year, and we hope to have some games without side teams. Be ing so many girls in High School, there will he sev- eral teams and very much competit ion. However, this will only create a greater amount of Pep. Air News A new air route has Been established directly be- tween Cecil and Alta. The Junior President is going to buy them a wire- less outfit because it is so much safer. Paper wads are too conspicuous to Miss McComas.

Where is it? I wonder what John Suss ell has been nooning about Eis mind certainly must hare been far, far, away, for he nearly'run over a Ford the other day. He would have, tooj if.the Ford had teen a little smaller, or his bicycle a little bigger. At it was he nearly had to pay damagea for letting one of the front wheels run over him, The jai cl running over him broke six doxen eggs in the ear seme folks say he learned the art of mooning from Marion lund) Have you notice how well all the young Football players are taking to the new’single hop dance. Why? All of them limp more or leS3-, now, and they can not dance any other way. Wouldn t it be nice to have wondefful hair? Especially like Kiel Turner1s. He can do anything with it. One day he will come to school. It will be as straight, and straighter. East day it is a mass of curls. Some Say a curling iron is helpful. Who knows? But what difference does it make? He Has wonderful hair. W When we see Kiel Turner collecting wrinkles on his hrow and impressively clearing his throat, it reminds us of that wonderful statue of The Thinker, but we know he is only getting ready to answer a question in Commercial' Haw, Miss Magee: 'What is the Statue of Frauds? Any- body? Class? Will you please stop making that noise? Why doesrft someone Answer? St on rattling that chair. Why can give an example? Put that jar down. Whit is the matter with all of you, I must say, this class is very interested in this work. When the cat is away the mice will play, is well illustrated the moment Miss McComas leaves the Assembly Hall. Immediately the Freshmen drag out hidden stores of erasers, chalk, pen holders, etc, kept in reserve for the purpose, and begin to bombard all the Other People here. But the minute teacher appears, no one can look more innocent than those same Freshmen. Even the Champion Sophomore Bluffers have to bow to those Freshmen, Briefly Beseriled Kiss Blackford- What Wilfred- I thir.li it lets go a Wa-op i e ve toe51 y _ Wilfred. s the thing with which one John in English Claes,.
