aginable around there. At their meetings they would discuss just how they could help Uncle Sam if they tried. Then they would get excited and work all the harder. It was not long before there were three acres of ground in the suburbs of the city green and flourishing. The boys were up early in the morning and worked till late. The largest prt blem that came before the boys was how they were going to water their gardens. They solved this however by making a dam in a little stream near there and by building irrigation ditches. After this the gardens flourished. If you lived in their city, you would have these three boy scouts visit your door with fresh vegetables about twice a week and if you were patriotic, when they told you that they were selling these for Uncle Sam, you would buy some. As true boy scouts they kept at their work and in the fall, Harry, Ted and John each had a Liberty bond and had given some money to the Red Cross. Their mothers’ cellar was well stocked with carrots, parsnips, beets and cabbage and also with well filled cans. The boys had their sisters do the canning as the girls belonged to the canning club. At the contest it was decided that John should represent the boys’ club at the State Fair and that May his sister, should represent the girls’ club. —KATHRYN T. EASBEY, ’20. ATHLETICS The athletic season came to a close with the county field meet of May 3rd. Miss Noonan, the girls’ coach, and Mr. Provow, the coach for the boys, both deserve a great deal of credit for the time and interest they have given to athletics. Harlem was our principal competitor and the final score was 55 to 43 in our favor. All the races and contests were exciting and everyone present seemed to enjoy the events immensely. Perhaps the most spectacular race of the day was the mile run. Christy of Chinook and Ring of Harlem were both coming strong on the home stretch, but when about one hundred yards from the finish, Ring sprinted and won. The Chinook girls did well considering the amount of practice they had had and they all declare they will be out for firsts next year. Chinook was awarded the attractive high school pennant but Harlem won the grade pennant. The main point winners for Chinook were Gesell, 11; Pavley, 10; and Christy 9. —LEO GESELL, ’18. WANTED—Boys!

Three of the freshmen girls assisted with the serving. After the commencement exercises, Wednesday, May 15th, Miss Dickey and Miss Reid entertained the seniors and the other members of the faculty in a room decorated with the class colors. Ice cream, cake and coffee, percolator style, were served. This was the last social event of the school year. —VIOLET FLANAGAN, ’18. Dramatics It is the custom of the high school to give a program every Friday under the direction of one of the teachers. Each class takes a program in turn. The Freshmen and Sophomores gave several very good ones, but the most original program was given by the Seniors and Juniors, under tile direction of Misses Miewald and Winter. Different pupils took the part of the various teachers, which afforded much amusement to the lower classmen. The seniors gave their orations at these programs. Some very excellent themes were produced. The program given on Patrons’ Day was very good. A facre entitled “A Case of Suspension” was staged by Miss Noonan. Music and recitations furnished the rest of the program. Since Christmas the high school has been studying debating. Three preliminary debates were held and from these debaters six were chosen to debate on the question. “Resolved that we should have an international league to enforce peace at the close of the present war.” Those on the aiTirmative were: Marguerite Thibeaudeaux, Paul Cochran and Leo Gesell. Those on the negative were Kathryn Easbey, Glenn Sands and Margaret Ramsey. The judges were Messrs Brooks, Moe nd Burks. The affirmative won and Marguerite Thibeaudeaux was chosen to represent the Chinook High School at the state debate at Missoula. The same evening the Freshmen gave several very interesting 4-minute thrift talks. Harry Harlen won the first prize and Bessie Easterbrook the second. Miss Adams has had charge of the debate work, and all the literary work of the high school this year. Marguerite Thibeaudeaux made an excellent showing in the state debate and was awarded second place in the contest at Missoula. Page Thirty-three
