VOLUME XXII
SPOKANE WINS
THE BIG MEET
All Present Agree that This Year's
Meet Was Best in History of
(he State College.
The Interscholastic Field meet held
here last Saturday was a grand suc
cess, from every point of view. It was
a financial success and the winners
-, ere scattered over a greater terri
tory than ever before. More schools
won points than in any previous
meet and it required the relay race
to decide the winner of the meet.
•Spokane won it, but she had to fight
for every point and the relay race,
the last event on the program, would
have given the meet to any one of
four schools, so closely were the lead
ers bunched.
It is safe to say that this meet will
bring greater benefits to Pullman
and the Slate College than any pre
vious meet, for many smaller schools,
which had never before been able to
make a point, took home trophies
and the students of those schools
will come back next year determined
' to win more points, and many of
those who participated in last Satur
day's meet will be enrolled as stu
dent of Washington State College
next fall, or in the near future.
The weather was about as Dad as
could be expected, a cold rain hav
ing fallen early Saturday morning,
and this was followed by a cold, hard
wind, and occasional showers during
. the day. The preliminary events were
run off during the forenoon and were
/, witnessed by a fair attendance, and
everything was In readiness for the
afternoon program which began at
j'2 o'clock, with one of the largest
audiences ever gathered at an Inter-
I scholastic field meet here. The com
mittee had things well in band and
the meet was pulled off in record
time. Tekoa probably did more than
any other school to surprise the au
dience for, although one of the small
est schools in the contest, It tied two
others for second place and gave
Sokane a hard rub for the relay
race which, had Tekoa won it, would
"have given that school the meet and
both the McCroskey and Murray
■ Jims.

having won it three years in suc

PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 20. 1910
PULLMAN SCHOOLS CLOSE
IST SUCCESSFUL YEAR
High School Class Graduated. Other
Classes Complete Labors. Teachers
Employed for Coming Year.
This week witnessed the closing of
the most successful year in the his
tory of Pullman's public schools. The
first high school class, which was
also ilie largest in the county, has
been graduated. Other high and pub
lic school classes have been advanced,
and the' work closed with entire sat
isfaction to patrons, officers and
teachers. The week has probably been
the most eventful one iii the history
of Pullman's schools for many rea
sons. Twenty-one young men and
young women, have marched side' by
side through the various grades—
some of t ..in going from the first to
the highest—have parted company,
leaving friendships and ties that an'
almost sacred. Many of these will en
ter Washington State College and
The Herald hopes that every one of
them will not only enter, but com
plete the full course and graduate
from that great school in the same
class. There is something touching
and beautiful in the sight presented
by a great class like that just
turned out by our high school— the
first ii has presented to the world
—of young people who have been
friends, school mates (and many of
them sweethearts) from infancy to
young manhood and young woman
hood. The ties thus formed should
never be broken. The high school,
like the colleges and universities,
should have tin alumni, which would
meet at least once each year, and
The Herald suggests that the class
just graduating set the example by
forming an alumni which shall meet
with the graduating classes of rail,
lit 12, and each succeeding year.
The week has been memorable for
many fights between classes which,
while entirely good tired, were
fierce and hotly contested.
Saturday night the freshmen flung
their pennant from the top of the
flagpole on the tower of the high
school building, and to prevent it
being taken down, had cut the rope.
Sunday night other classmen un
dertook to take down the pennant
and two climbed to the top of the
tower, and after an hour's work suc
ceeded in tearing down the freshmen
pennant. When they started to de
scend they found the ladder inside
the tower torn down and the bell
rope, down which they might have
slid, cut.
After a scrap of several minutes
the adventurers were rescued by
classmates, and the freshmen who
had tried to prevent them from de
scending were driven out of the high
school tower.
Monday night hostilities were re
newed. After the freshmen and the
sophomores had each been enter
tained at parties the members of the
two classes met at the high school
building and proceeded to decorate
everything with their class colors.
TEACHERS ELECTED.
The school board has selected all
but three of the teachers for the
coming year, most of those elected
having served during the year just
closed. Mrs. M. E. Jenne, who has
been principal of the high school for
so many years, has resigned and
that leaves a vacancy to be filled.
There are a number of good teachers
under consideration for that posi
tion. A teacher of history in the high
school remains to be selected and
He' principal of the Franklin school
his not been chosen although no of
ficial action has been taken. The
corps of teachers elected to date fol
lows:
Prof. 11. A. Ellis, superintendent of
city schools; high school teachers:
C. L. Hicks, mathematics; F. N.
Bryant, science; Miss Percy Watson,
languages; Miss Lena Kohne, Eng
An alliance between the two classes
had been formed and they worketl to
gether harmoniously. Members of
the senior and junior classes, rein
forced by members of the eight grade
class, undertook to prevent the soph
omores and freshmen from putting
up their colors and a fight, which
eclipsed anything of its kind in Pull
man. followed. About 20 of the. op
posing forces were captured after a
fight lasting nearly two hours, and
the' captives were ■•bog tied" by the
allied forces, and placed in a row on
the sidewalk. A few of the opposing
forces had gone into the bell tower
to take down tin. pennants which
swung from the flag pole, but were
captured and taken Into the assem
bly room, where they were tied and
placed mi the teachers platform.
Those on the sidewalk were carried
in ami placed before them. Then the
victors sang, danced and enjoyed
themselves until 4:30, when the cap
tives were released upon their pro
mise to leave the school grounds,
which promise they kepi religiously.
A number of high school and college
girls, who had formerly attended (be
high school, remained up nearly oil
night to witness the fight. Many par
ticipants had their clothing torn al
most completely from, them and oth
ers were scratched and bruised, but
none were hurt seriously, although
some of those who were tied, com
plained afterward that the ropes were
so tight about their wrists and ankles
that their hands and feet were so
numb they could scarcely walk after
being released. One boy was unable
to use bis hands at the breakfast
table the next morning.
The Senior class day exercises,
held in the Assembly ball Tues
day night, attracted a very large and
enthusiastic audience, all the seats
and a number of chairs being occupi
ed. The program, which Included
the class calendar, essays, piano and
vocal solos and a selection by the
girls' quartet and the glee club, was
recalled for nearly every number.
The class song quartet contest,
in which the freshmen, sophomores
and juniors took part was won by
the freshman glee class. Each of the
three classes bad prepared a class
song and judges were selected to
inline which was the best.
The room was very beautifully de
corated with the senior colors, black
find gold, and a large number of
pennants, representing the different
high schools of the country.
The graduation exercises We're
held in the Auditorium, Thursday
night and were attended by a large
audience. The class of 21 occupied
seats on the stage and the address
was delivered by Professor W. (J.
Beach, of the State College. The
names of the graduates were pub
lished in last week's issue of The
Herald.

the Pullman flour mills and take in
st ructions in milling from Mr. Fos
iii Brownfleld, who will conduct
them through the big mill and ex
plain to them in detail all of the
work of making flour. It is thought

the various kinds of baking. The
girls ate enthusiastic over this new
