THE CLARION STUDENT BODY MEETING. The' last meeting of the associated student body was called for the pur- pose of discussing the track and base ball outlook for the season of 1907. This was by far the most interesting and enthusiastic athletic meeting ever held in the Salem High School. It being argued on one side by the base ball team and on the other by the future track athletes. The, High School has never before had a track team, but with such promising men as Eyre, Smith, R. Moores, C.,Moores, McIntyre, Utter, Fisher and J ones, a creditable team could be put upon the field to represent the high school on the track as Well as in the other branches of athletics. OiTers have been issued to all the main high schools in Oregon to send seven track men to Corvallis, where the big high school meet will be held on J une 18, 1907. Owing to the fact that all other high schools will be represent- ed it could not be considered for a minute that the Salem High School should lag behind and let the other schools go ahead. After the reading of the minutes William Mott, i07, was elected to manage the football team for the coming season, as was Ralph Cronise to again manage the Clarion. Cronise then introduced a motion to include track as well as base ball in the high school athletics, but after much discussion this was found to be conflicting so that one must be cut out inorder to handle the other suc- cessfully. R. Moores made an amend- ment to the motion to the effect that track would be included only after the dispensing of base ball, which was carried by a close vote. The motion then carired with the amend- ment, which means that there will be no base ball in the Salem High School next spring, much to the dis- gust of many. The track manager has not been elected yet and prob- ably will not be until track season. approaches next spring. There seems to be a general tendency throughout 'the valley to cut base ball for track. However, it will not be long before the school will carry on both branch- res successfully. W .Prof. Marlatte is opposed to strike. 27 WOODBURN GAME. On Monday, J une 4, election day, the high school went to Woodburn for a practice game with the Wood- burn baseball club. It had been raining for several days before the game, and the team was stiff and out of practice. It rained in torrents just before the game,and the grounds were a sea of mud. The Woodburn team was composed of old and ex- perienced players, but When it came to the fine points of the game they were not in it. Arch J erman of Wil- lamette University was engaged to pitch for Woodburn. The high school got seven hits off him, while Wood- burn only scratched three from Keenes. We should have won, but for a dummy play on the part of one of our men. Ralph Moores and Oudin Roberts were the stars, Moores getting several nice chances without an error, while Roberts got three hits and a sacrifice out of four times at bat. To cap off everything, the Woodburn management showed his color by cheating us out of four dol- lars expense money. It will be a day when the weather is below freez- ing when Woodburn gets a game with Salem High School again. ' ROBERTS ELECTED CAPTAIN. Immediately after school was dis- missed Friday, June 15, Manager Cronise called the baseball team to- gether in Prof. Marlatteis room for the purpose of electing a captain for the season of 1907. Wm. Perkins placed Oudin Roberts in nomination, who was elected unanimously. Rob- erts is undoubtedly the best man on the team for the place. His playing is superb, rarely ever making an er- ror. He has a thorough knowledge of the game, and uses good head- work at all times. He is a valuable man in a pinch, and has assisted the team several times this season in working out of a hole. Hereis to Captain Roberts, and may next yearis team be undefeated. m Friend to Perry R. in Public Libr- arye-What are you looking for? Perry R.-That book, itHow a couple can live on $40 a month.

The 06 number of Dictum E'st is published in a novel form, opening from the ends. It is Red BlufPs first attempt at an annual and is very good. The Russ, San Diego, Ca1., pre- sents its usual beautiful commence- ment number. It is large, well filled with cuts, and has a fine appearance otherwise. We have not yet received the com- mencement number of the Cardinal, Portland H. S., but it is safe to say that when it does arrive it will be worth the wait. The Rayen Recwd, Youngstown, 0., has been a regular Visitor throughout the year. The Record is always welcome to our table and we hope to continue relations. The quality of exchanges coming in this month is far above the stand- ard. Of course this can be accounted for by its being commencement time, and all the schools are making an extra effort to do justice to their graduating classes and to themselves. It is a noteworthy fact that all of the high school papers bearing the name iiClaI-ion are par exceuence. The Clemons from Rochester, N. Y., and Appleton, Wis., are fine speci- mens of high school journalism, and of course we modestly boast our own excellence. Owing to a heavy debt hanging over the Associated Student Body, it was not deemed advisable for Salem ngh to put out an annual this year. Hence the size of this issue. But next year we will publish a paper . excellent that will equal, if not excel, anything. in the state. -. The High School Times, Fort Madi- son, Iowa, continues to put out an commencement number. While not quite as fancy as last year, the commencement issue of the Ft. M. H.VS. is good. It is printed in three colors, the half-tones show- ing up especially well. It contains some excellent and well written stories. We received a new foreign ex- change this month in the Nelsom'an, from Nelson, New Zealand. It is published at the end of each term and contains about one hundred pages. There are also pictures illustrating different phases of school life, and good literary articles. From the Nelsonicm we learn that the people in New Zealand are great on ath- letics. Other fOreign exchanges re- ceived this month are The Oahncm, Honolulu; The Yellow Dragon, Hong Kong, China; St. Johnis Echo, Shan- hai, China; The Phams, New Wes- minster, B. C.; The College Argus, Vancouver, B. C. 7 Undoubtedly the best book we have feceived is the E. H. S. News from Eugene. This issue of the News contains over a hundred plqes of loeivv enamel paper and the contents would do credit to any school. The graduating class photos are grounetl five on a page, with some catchy motto opposite. Besides the athletic- and debating teams, faculty, societies, etc., there are pretty little Views in-.- serted here and there as fillers, and they add wonderfully to the appear- ance of the number. Altogether it is indeed a very creditable issue and one of which E. H. S. may well be proud.
