At the meeting of the Literary So

several committees on decorations,
eatables, hall, invitations, ETC., were
heard. The debate, "Resolved that
anticipation is BETTER than realiza-
tlon,' was debated on by the society
as acOmmittee of the whole. A great
deal OF interest was taken in the de-
bate and it was decided by the jury
in favor Of the affirmative.
The High school met Wednesday
evening after school to discuss the
ACCESSIBILITY of starting a school
newspaper. Several speeches were
made by High school students and it
was unanimously decided to start a
semi-monthIy paper as soon as the
school term opens next September
Miss Emily Moore was elected chair
man OF the meeting and she ap-
pointed Flora Terry secretary. Com
mlttees were appointed to decide
upon a suitable name and to draft
rules and regulations to govern the
different officers of the paper. Then
the folio wing officers were elected:
Business Manager-Geo. Harting.
Assistant Business Manager-Chas.
Huff
Managing Editor-Fred Hoffman.
Assistant Managing EditOr-Flora
Terry
Editorial Writers-Mary Richard.
Mildred Muncy and Florence Moore
Reporters-Leigh Tanner, Emily
Moore, Walter John son and Eugene
Warren.
The High school will do all in it's
power to make the paper a success
and to fill it's columns with useful
and interesting reading matter. The
Subscription price will be only fifty
cents, and every family can easily
afford to pay this small amount and
thereby help the school. There is
much to be gained by this paper. 1t
will train the pupils in practical jour
nalism and will keep the public ac-
quainted with school doings and
school.news.
The paper will contain the school
news, ESSAYS, compositions. editO-
rails, etc., which will encourage the
pupils in writing and train them in
composition work.
The first edition will be a large
one and copies will be sent to all the
High schools in this state and many
in other states, thereby advertising
our public schools and showing
other cities what Little Falls has &C
complished in the school line.
Every business man should take Il
subscription and encourage the stu
dents and help the school. We think
that the subscribers will be well sat-
isfied with the paper.
Another meeting was held yester-
day and it was decided to name the
paper the "Alpha." AS the High
school will meet now and then to
discuss any matters that may arise,
the following officers were elected:
President-Emlly Moore.
Vice President-Etta Patterson.
ecretary-FlorenceM Moore.
The matter which will appear in
the "Alpha" will be furnished, for the
most part, by the students and will
be such matter as will interest the
public. as every family should be in
terested in matters pertaining to- our
public echOOl.
