shooting of Gannon and the work of
the two junior guards were the fea

the same team they had last year,

half opened up with the same style
of play, the juniors making only one
basket and the seniors making one

EXHIBITION' OF CURIOS
Major School gave an exhibition of
ins life collection of curios last
Thursday to the student body. Ma
jor Schoof is of German birth but
joined the British army early in his
life. Since then he has been in Afri
ca, Mexico. Canada and the United
States. At present he belongs to the
Canadian Mounted Police.
Six grade boys dressed in uniforms
showed the military apparel of Brit
ish soldiers at different periods.
Among the articles displayed were
lien and tiger skins, snake skins,
crocodile hides, swords, war clubs,
guns and explosives. A short ex
planation was given of each object.
Major Schoof then executed an ex
tremely difficult sword feat, consist
ing of sheathing a sword behind him
with his wrist turned one complete
revolution. The entertainment was
ended by a brief talk on temperance.
TALK BY PRINCIPAL
On Tuesday noon Mr. Gaiser gave
a short talk to the high school stu
dents. His aim was to stir the stu
dents to take more interest and help
in such high school affairs as ticket
sales, boosting games and helping on
committees. He said that though
school work is primarily important,
the person who is able to assume
leadership in high school is usually
the person who is a leader in the
community. He also remarked that
there is more chance for students in
a small high school like P. H. S. to
take an active part in school life.
In high schools of two or three thou
sand students there are very few
who attain noti.ee or position and
there is very keen competition for
such places. He encouraged every
one to try to take a more active part
in high school life.
A FIXE ENTERTAINMENT
Mr. Jerome Shaffer, an imperson
ator from New York city, was a visi
tor of Pullman high school on Tues
day of last week. Mr. Shaffer has
a talent of wide range and has trav
eled a great deal. Although his
home is in New York he has spent
the last year in Spokane, from which
city he has made trips to the sur
rounding towns, giving entertain
ments which are beneficial as well
as amusing. He has been on the
stage 10 years in which time he has
worked from the amateur ranks un
til at the present time he is one of
the foremost entertainers in Ameri
ca. His programs on Tuesday were
thoroughly enjoyed by those who at
tended.
PRIZE BOOKS OFFERED
The company which published the
New International Encyclopedia has
offered a book worth $1.25 to any
of its school subscribers who will
fulfill certain conditions. Only the
senior English classes are eligible to
answer these questions. Ten ques
tions, which may be answered only
by reference to the International, are
given out each month. For each
month in which correct answers are
sent a book or $1.25 credit is given
to Pullman high school.
XEW BONG BOOKS
The school has secured some new
song books, to use during the weekly
song periods. Miss McKee has been
handicapped in her work, because of
a lack of books. Each student will
be supplied with a book for which
he or she will be responsible. Dur
ing the war this country learned how
valuable community singing could be.
It engendered a feeling of good fel
lowship between people of widely dif
ferent interests. Thus the spirit of
the high school is strengthened and
built up by the school "sings."
