0 KKH CH SK CHKKKKJ- HhKH H 0 KH KH CH that they Rave him a bonus of $100, not to send any more to them. Wayne Downing, that small 212 pound senior, is doing very well in downtown Elgin at the present. He has one of the largest gymnasiums in the United States and specializes in weight reducing exercises. He guarantees them to remove “Ex- cess Pounds , although he now weighs 212 instead of the former 212. minus guar- anteed reductions. Lawrence I»ng. another athlete of undisputed ability, owns a very large ranch on the brakes of the Minam. It is such a hard place to get to, that he specializes in Dudes instead of cattle and horses. He also has several hundred mountain goats but he says it is much more fun to herd Dudenes than a bunch of old goats. He al- ways was a second Beau Brummell with the women anyway. Billy “Dagwood Long, one of the funnier sides of life, is now a member of the famous Good man-S haw combined band. He seems to be getting along nicely and does a good bit of work in keeping the members of the band together. He has a» nice new uniform with brass buttons and gold braid all over it, at least her did when they were playing at the “Black Derby , Elgin's swankiest night club. Goodman says he is a very good chauffeur, but Shaw says he’s a little sjow. Bob Gent is now known, as “Speed King” Gent. He has won the six. day bike race four years in a row. This year he has a bad case of the gout and Will not l -‘! able to compete. We think, it. is a splinter from the last race, but his wife says it is love for her that keeps him out of the running. Lloyd McClune, who was a high school track man. beat the former world s re- cord for the mile last winter in Berlin. tThe war is over and they are having the Olympics in Berlin again . Of course he wanted to get in on the big dinner at the end of the course, so we see why he turned on the heat. Stewart Guthery, our ssnior cowboy from Wyoming, isn’t doing so wall this year,, since he moved back to Wyoming and started a school for cowgirls who appear m his world-famous vaudeville show. His second w’ife is suing him for a divorce, the complaint is of staying up too late at nights, and always demanding tomato juice for his 10:30 breakfast. Keith Fuller, who graduated from Oregon State, is now in London study- ing to be a minister. Next spring he is to go on a mission in Northern Siberia. As the Finns and Russians are still fighting there, a lot of good men will be needed to help convert captured Russians. Royce Moore, that tall thin lad of high school days, is now in New York on, the stage. From all reports, he seems to be so popular that the whole of the city’s 400 scream for more when the curtain drops on his act. We don’t know just which one he is. with all the make-up they use, but we think he is the villian.

It was a leap year dance, the girls took the boys and also asked them for the dances. Besides being a leap year frolic, it was a Sadie Hawkens dance. By that is meant that the people attending were suppos- ed to dress correspondingly with characters other than themselves. Some were garbed like comic strip characters and others dressed to represent cowboys, farmers, hunters and Mexican caballeros. The music for the dance was furnished through the courtesy of Dick Adams, of the Gamble Store. He let the girls have a radio, phonograph and several records. For those who did not wish to dance, there were several ta- bles of Chinese Checkers, and the stage was set to represent a cafe. Lunches were served and again the girls treated the boys. The party was called to a halt about 11 o’clock. Everyone had a very enjoyable time and the dance was a success for the AGS of Elgin High school.
