THE CHINOOK BREEZE 19 bers of the class answered the roll call by reciting Mother Goose rhymes. At the close of school, after all the teachers had made their announcements and May had played the march for dismissal, a faculty meeting was held. The various pupils were discussed and passed judgment on. To the pupils this was a revelation—to the teachers only a gentle reminder. We certainly admire our teachers and hold them up as an example of “good sports,” for no offense was taken and they seemed to enjoy the performance as much or more than anyone else. Sophomores. The following is one of the programs given by Miss Winter and the tenth grade. Six of the girls sang the “Missouri Waltz” and “Mammy’s Little Coal-Black Rose,” which the high school appreciated very much. Dorothy Lee gave “The Girls in Overalls,” which was very good. Mildred Snedecor recited “Jacob Strauss.” Paul Cochran recited “The Kaiser’s Dream,” and Edward Leonard “That 01’ Time Nigger.” The best number on the program was a vocal duet by Kathryn Easby and Norma Sisson, entitled “Romeo and Juliet.” Freshman.

Violet Flanagan represented Miss Adams and had the pleasure of conducting both a class and an assembly, which were very interesting. But perhaps the greatest success of the day was Leo Gesell, who took the part of Mr. Provow.

During the program a mock program was given, supposedly by the eighth grade and Mr. Provow.

The first Freshman party was given in the new manual training building under the supervision of Miss Adams. The earlier part of the evening was devoted to games. Later Miss Adams instructed them in the intricacies of the Virginia Reel, and soon they were all gracefully bowing and
