PHYSICAL CULTURE CLUB The Physical Cluture Club includes all that all girls have eve' attempted along athletic lines. Perhaps the work is 11ot considered so very athletical atlter all, by the boys, especially by those who always would peak in the door on physical torture night to watcl the fun. And even though some of us were dreadfully stupid in catching on to the new steps we have gained a. great deal oi' recre- ation and pleasure from our meetings. The club was organized during the first of the school year with Miss Greene as director. lt was decided to xneet cn lllondays and :Rv ,,y52?5x t N Ae ll F jot: ,W 9 T 6 fy it sf f 1 w'N - , or rf, Elf .

With the coming of spring it was thought that it would he more pleasant if we could have out door work, so efforts are being made to form a tennis club to play tennis through the last few weeks ol' school and during vacation. The mos-t interesting features of the club work are the fancy marching and the Indian Club swinging, but both will take mor' practice than a year to make perfect. However, our :girls are prof gressing rapidly and the work has helped them greatly. -N 'X AFTER

Every game played during the past season was liercely tought, while the most exciting contests came over games that were never played. During the foot ball season, however, excitement is th e rule everywhere among high school. From the lirst of September till after Thanksgiving, the balls of the school building frequently echoed to the songs and yells of enthusiastic foot hall fans The team worked hard on the practice-tield while the rooters enthused in-doors. Then came the game with La Gra ndel The inhabitants of the city who were np earlv enough, stared with surprise at a gay wagon-load of girls. all wearing little purple and white hats, carrying pennants, and yelling as ATHLETICS FOOT BALL LINE-UP Overton Scott. .. ....

The rooters were on their way to show what good they could do bv yelling to encourage the players. A good Elgin delegation met. in the grand stand when the game was called, and their rooting was sutlicient to let the La Grande people know of their presence. The Game was thrilling from start to linish and ended with a score of 0 to0. The next game was played against Cove on our home territory. A got d deal of scrapping livened up this contest which resulted in a score of 10 In 6 in favor ofthe visiting team. Our boys next went to Enterprise to try their luck. Here the result was the same as at La Grande. This made up the tale of Elgin's foot, ball season of 1909.

B eulah Rhodes For weeks before the play was given you would hear the gentle voices of the different members in every nook and corner rehearsing their parts in a most dramatic tone of voice. Almost every night they would bring Professor out in the blustery weather. This took place for a period of some five weeks, and great expectations were aroused, and not only the school but loyal citizens of the town sat up and took notice to such extent that when the night arrived the largest house up to that time greeted the play troupe. lt was December 22d and the comedy drama BRAC presented by the High School Theatrical Troupe was produced i11 what pioved to be a most interesting andpleasing performance. The curtair arose at 8:30 p. m. The principal feature of the first act was Brac eating ubandanas. The second act was considered the best of the entire play. Two old maids were considered the best of the act. The peculiar cos- tumes of the two old maids caused a loud smile to pass over thr audience. Clarisa Avery's exclamation of Oh, Ransom! I shall pre- spire! I know I shall! brought down the house. In the third act the way in which Anna Blake exclaimed, I have tested your love too long. and turned John Perkins down wart received with great applause. Laurose Bailey as leading lady and Roy Frashier as leading man delivered their parts exceptionally well. lt was said by thosf present that BRAC ls one of the best plays ever given in Elgin.
