On November 4, when the Arlington Football Team came to Condom, the High School students entertained them at the school house for a few hours. The- girls eseryed a lunchi'in'cafateria style and the teams feltfully rm. repaid for their work'durin'g the game. ' ' Inithe latter part of March the High School girls, actingdupon the suge gestion of Mrs. Schroeder and Miss Jones, decided to give a party for the . girls alone. After several days of concentrated thought on the subject they decided to make it achildrenis party. Accordingly, everyone camie. dressed as they had not been for years. in all that crowd of girls the center of at- traction was a small, golden-haired, overalled boy, represented by Miss Vio- let West. The entertainmentcommittee planned some very niCe games, one of which was hunting for baskets which were filled with Easter eggs. The bas- kets, each with a girls name in it, were scattered in different places in the building and. it wasthe duty of each girl to find the basket bearng her name. . . . , Diacana In the early part of the year the Diacana girls gave a very pleasing Progressive party in the honor of. the new members of the club.

GEiIIiam QImmtg gaigh $thnnl The Masquerade Party The Junior Class of the HopkinsvilIe High School gave a masquerade partyron the High School grounds in honor of the Senior Class. Miss Hopkins, the English teacher, was rather old maidish, very. prim and precise. She did. her hair on the top 0f herihead, therefore the class soon nicknamed her itTopknuo-t. Now iiTopknot 'was not as old and prim as her appearance led everyone to believe. She Went to the masquerade party drssed as a school girl. She wore a pale pink ruffled organdy dress with a hat to match. The hat was tied to her wrist in school girl fashion and her thick yellow hair was done in 'long curls.' 'i Vera Grey,the most popular girl in school as Well as the daughter Of the most prominent business man in Hopkinsville, masqueraded in spirlt of spirit of mischief as the Englishoteuaeher, Miss,Hopkins, Torn Hall, thinking he recognizedVeragwhom everyone knew he con- sidered as hisi'girl, led her off to one side to a bench under one of the trees. In the course of their conversation Tom said, i'Say, Vera, haveAyou seen old iiTopknot tonight? Shelooks Worse than she ever did. at school: Look at her now. And he pointedito a tail figurezdressed. in a black dress with a high cellar buttoning up: aroundg-her chinsand her. hair- done high- on the top of her headil , V L - iiWhat do you think of the way she actsin. Class? Isn'tssheawfulTT asked Vera. IiitYes, and you canit event whisper without her boring a hole through you with those little eyes of. hers, av stei'ed Tomi. , de like towrite a note to you sometimes, continued Tom, i-ibut those eyes stop me right there. I do Wish sheid change her dress once in a while, Sheis worn that old black thing almost ever since school started and she .has it on: again tonight? ' tiShe sure needs a change and the way she does her hair is worse than ever. All done up in a little teapotjhandlevon the top of her head and when she draws her mouth into a thin little line sheid take the prize for old maidr anywhere in the country around. And I donit believe I ever saw her when she had a real smile on her face. The only time she ever smiles is When 'she meets the professor on th stairwayand then it looks like she-i's making'a face at him, and shezsure is cross in class. I sure wouldnot want to be around her very long in; one stretch. v But thatis enough .about old iTop- knot, and say Vera, don,t iiorget yourie going home. with me. Before shehad time to answer the announcement was made that it was - time to take off their masks. She. and Tom gathered with the rest of the crowd in front of the school house. and at a word everyone pulled off their masks. ' . a Tom looking at the, girl in thepink organdy dress, expected to. meet the twinkling eyes of Vera met insteadrthe amused glance of Miss HOpkins. Tom immediately had business elsewhere. s- ' , Iill leave you to imagine how Tom felt when he went to English Class. next Monday morning. . , ' - a eNORA MYERS ' Thereturn part i! vmemselves to In- t iagood time and '? :u. 011 Novem lwr .I I iHigh School stw 5 m The girls sm .'

05111121111 01131111111 3.1511511 $311001 I The County Library WILLIAM MARSHALL There 1s a growing need in this county for a county library. ' The DOD- ulation of this county is abeut3,960.'1 hat a county with such a population does not have a 11b1a1y seems extraordinary. The average book when bought 'at the book store costs about a dollar, certainly not any less. With the proposed county library plan people can get the current novels, period- . icals, and the 01d classics as well for around 10c to 50c a year depending on their property valuation. How this is done becomes at once apparent 011 studying the workings of the plan. The method for raising- the neces- sary funds is by public support, not private. This method is adopted be- cause a p11vate1y supp01ted library fails to 1each the public in a .way. a pub- licly supported one Would. The County Unit Plan for Library Service is as follows It is proposed to lay a blanket tax to cover the cost of: the maintainance and upkeep of the library. This tax will amount to one tenth of a 111111 011 every d0 11a1 0f assessable p1'0pe1ty. This means that the li- brary will cost one- -half cent on $50,011e cent on $100, fifty cents on. $5,- 000 of the assessed valuati 011 of the property, which is about eighty per cent of its value. This is less than half the subscription price of one good magazine, less than the price of two pounds of candy, one-fifth the price of the cheapest new hat. This tax is a fixed amount and can only be raised by the people s consent A tax provides a permanent fund for the library's support. The management of the library will be in the hands of a board of: directors appointed by the county court from all over the county. The board will have general supervision over the library and will provide for a location, hire a librarian,purc'has1e boOks, and do all the business which is in connection With the library. The main arguments for the County Unit Plan for library sel'vice are summed up as 1011011178: The chief argument is the example Of those coun- ties which have already adopted this plan. The iii 'st county to take advan- tage of the law passed at the 1911 sessi 011 of the Oregon Legislatme mak- ing 'it possible to or eate county libr aries in Oregon regardless of the popu1a- tion was Wasco. In 1912 The Dalles Public Library became the central library of the county s library system. A tax of .2 of a mill was levied to carry on the extension of the library through the county. That the results have been satisfactory is shown by a glance at the library rec01'.ds In 1911 the library circulated 27, 226 volumes, in 1918, seven years after, it circul- ated 60, 614, an increase of. 122 per cent.1n 1911 there were 1003 borrOw- ers from the central library at The Dalles, in 1918 there were 3, 666, an in- crease of 295 per cent. The number of volumes has increased from 3, 559 to 16,070, an increase of 295 per cent. Asrregards cost, it has been ex- t1e1nely small, for in 1918 it cost exactly 4 1- 2 cents for each resident in the county for the maintainance of the central libraly and county branch- $illfzi1tt annntg Eigh 511111111- tommuniti 33 1foraieu.lho-puhl 11 119111 fund is- 1' Th? cost 11! 1 small in 1611118 112111. 1101 Th? thesingle tax on m. 110 bear 1h? rust nargument against 1 1111 too high fur Mn ithis will nwan mun- Sambo's B Itleseven year 0ch $31 111011 mammy 'rau-c $1M mos' M'vrt' hnua 11.1.Sambo. doan .Vn- -a 111mm with that ulu m11111111131111 got a 11 1110mm to eat WM 31 1111311 craul mu nh MO! in nu 10-h! 1110 all can Irah 332132 '34
