Xb . 'Egg 4.1 Y 1 THE ELK triumphs. Their unflagging enthusiasm and regularity at practice games is truly commendable. Considerable interest has been manifested in tennis this year, particularly by the Freshman girls. Several tournaments have been started with plenty of pep but, with the exception of one now in progress, have fallen through. The girls fought for the tennis court during physical training period until Miss Hyatt tactfully aroused their interest in the fascinating sport of girls' baseball. Under the able leadershp of Jessie Cumpston a well-matched game is now hotly contested every physical training period. Physical torture has caused many groans and grunts of anguish but Miss Hyatt's interest is infectious. No further evidence than the rosy glow of our girls' blooming cheeks, the supple grace of their every motion, and the bulge of their Hexed muscles is needed as proof of the value of the ninth period exercises. -C.

Lt can't be done,-at least not now-a-days. Times have changed since George VVashington made the English admit we'd made a home run and got in free. I should say, yes! just listen to this conversation ,tween two ladies, Mrs. Witt and Mrs. I-Iouston, who've watched just about all of 'em graduate from Elk Grove High School. Going to the graduating exercises this year ? asked Mrs. Houston over the back fence. Wl1y, of course! This is the first time any member of the alumni has ever had a child graduate, replied Mrs. Witt. I wouldn't miss it for worlds. I-Ioward Wackniaii you know, son of Frances Putney. My! My! don't it just beat all how these youngsters grow! It doesn't seem a year since May Duffy an' Stanley Gage an' Lester Everson an' Arthur jenkins got thro', an' now they're all grown up and having a hard time keepin' their young 'uns out of the very same mischief they usta' get into. Yes, an' don't you remember how Crede VVackman used to hang around those high school girls all the time? That is, until Frances Putney gradu- ated, and old Mrs. Vtfitt chuckled gleefully at her joke. An' now he has a son who is a reg'lar chip off the old block. I suppose you've heard that Edna Coons is to be married this summer, queried Mrs. I-Iouston. Matt's a Fine fellow, too. I hadn,t heard that, but I knew that Pone graduated from Normal this year. After all, times donft change much, tho'. Alma Liljigreen and May Ring and Ethel Baker are still tcachin'. .Iinny Mix graduated from the Uni- versity in May, but she's gotta' take a a post graduate course. These young folks really don't stand still now, do they? But then I guess it's best they shouldn't, 'cause where,d this world be if they did? But how about all those nice young children who graduated only last June ? O, them, began Mrs. VVitt, they're all scattered over this state. Take Mae Taylor, for instance. She just couldn't stay home and make her samplers like you and me did. She's off to San Jose to become a school marm at that normal place they've got there. An' where did the tall, dark one go.
