High School Notes Bright Banquet Tickets Sell Fast

Banquet tickets for the Girl Reserve and Hi Y banquet sold from Thursday afternoon to Monday 1 15 p m. The event is set for Tuesday at 6 30 p m at the United Presbyterian church. English club tryouts were held Monday evening with Miss Helen Wilson directing and four old members judging: Catherine Mec Convaughey Priscilla Morrison Donald Benz and George Jones. New members will be announced later. Washington residents and students attended the Ottumwa football game where Ottumwa won by one point but the Washington team outplayed them overall. Some players spoke softly on the ride home, perhaps safer than facing rougher injuries. Monday assembly at nine replaced the usual Wednesday slot with Mr Hammond and Mr McNaught delivering the debate: Soon the law be enforced. The debate ran across one period but was deemed worthwhile. The G A A hike planned last Saturday morning was postponed. The Commercial club is progressing rapidly. The Washington High School hand and color squad performed well at Ottumwa, accompanying the football team.
