Tin: k. ii. s. kiiunc (H it We first conceived the idea of having a Hiding Club when a few of the girls with Miss Merwin and Miss Stoddard rode out to Hock Wall one Sunday on horseback. On our way home, after having surveyed this wonderful work of Nature, which was made even more beautiful by an ideal autumn day, we decided that any of the High School girls who wished might belong to the club. Our next trip was to the Minam, about fifteen miles from hlgin. It is hardly necessary to say that we enjoyed it to the fullest extent, for it was great fun climbing those steep foothills and looking over the high crags and wending our way through the trees until we found ourselves in some beautiful valley, through which a mountain sticam babbled on its way to meet the river. The best time of all was when six of the club camped out all night in Wallowa Canyon. We started late on Saturday afternoon and after riding about seventeen miles, we cam to our stopping place on the bank of the Wallowa river. It was after dark when we arrived and late before we had our campfire built and supper ready. Never were mortals more hungry and viands never disappeared with such lightning rapidity. After our appetites were appeased, we sat around the fire tell- ing stories—ghostly and otherwise bloodcurdling tales. Myrtle (.hand- ler related of how she punched cows 'way back in the sixties. We -ill thought that a queer place to punch them. All through the night we dozed and caroused alternately. Hut about four o’clock in the morning it began to rain, a steady downpour. W e picked up our beds and hiu- ried into a nearby barn, where we crept in upon the hay, a wretched, shivering, bedraggled half dozen. At last sleep held us in its thrall— oh, blessed sleep—and we were worm. By morning the rain had ceased and all supposed we would have a pleasant ride home. About half way home, however, the rain caught us again and the downpour continued until after the end of our ride. In spite of the cold and rain we all agreed that we wouldn t have missed the good time. Oli.ive MoSiiain. ’12. —29—

TINS 1IASKKT SOCIAL Since the year 1909 the Basket Social has been an annual event, usually held under the auspices of the Junior class. This year it took place in the opera house on the evening of October 25th. Girls, both large and small, brought baskets covered with beautiful flowers, ribbons and tissue paper. Some were filled with enough good things for large families, others only held enough for two. Each basket was sold by the auctioneer, Mr. J. Barnes, to the highest bidder. When the baskets, some forty in all, were sold, the buyers found their partners or some one else’s or traded with their neighbor for the “right girl’s” basket. Then the delicious lunches, that only our High School girls know how to prepare, were eaten. All had an enjoyable time and at a late hour went home thinking “how happy are these, my school days.” Nei.i.ie Bish, ’12. ----------o----------- THIS 'ARMVAL Even in the morning of November 25, 1911, you could see High School boys and girls hustling about preparing for the Carnival to be held that evening in Blumenstcin’s Opera Mouse. It was well attended. At first a short program was given, the main feature of which was the song, “The Spanish Cavalier,” acted out bv Gladys Bhodes and Boy Spencer. After the program, people busied themselves looking at the school exhibit, which was very good. The amusing features of the evening were the side shows, the gypsy fortune telling camp and the telegraph station. The High School is certainly thankful for the interest shown by the people of Elgin at our carnivals. Next year there will he new features, as the boys will pride themselves in exhibiting fruit and vegetables and the girls their fancy cooking and sewing. Our carnival netted us a little more than sixty-five dollars and we promise that the next one will be equally as good. Beatrice Litti la iu n. '12. -30
