time honored senior fair, When notified
that a senior fair could not be held the
class hit upon the idea of the history
pageant which was so successfully carried
out and was then allowed to have a senior
play which was given last night at the
Creighton auditorium. Next, instead of hav-
ing the annual senior banquet at which all

there been an increase in the price OF

Leaving the high school means the break

American ExtraVagance.
In no country do women spend so much
money on their personal adornment as in
America. The American woman is clothes
mad not only does she wear more expen-
sive clothes and jewels than women OF
other countries, but she wears a far greater
variety, and her taste for elaborateness
amounts to craze Nowhere in the world
does one see this same over-elaborate dres-
sing save among the declasse women
abroad-at Trouville. ostend. or some such
continental watering place. Throughout
Europe the women of high nobility and So
cial position are like wrens compared with
these cockatoos of the half world. 1t is
an unpleasant thought that it is the latter
who set the standard which our fashionable
women follow with naive avidity.
For though we have gradually become
used to the exaggeration of regarding
American women as queens and Processes
We have forgotten that the husbands are
not all kings and princes-of finance. The
result is that our women. each striving to
look as If she were the wife or daughter

MISS EDITH NEIAIE

This year thlrty-five boys and girls were
able to try under this ruling and twelve OF
the thirty-five were announced as having
written the best essays. Six of this present
list will recite their compositions on June
II, the six who make the best oratlons of
their essays in a second contest to be held
in the near future being the lucky ones
The subjects treated upon by the pupils
in their essays are so varied and SO phil
osophical in nature that after one has at
tended reading of all of them he is fully
able TO qualify himself upon any subject.
Problems of life and government which
have pestered man for ages are definitely
settled
The overwhelming proportion of girls
to boys in the list of honor students causes
a deal Of worry to parents of high school
youths until 1t is explained that when the
proportion of girls to boys in the roll books
Of the school are taken into consideration
the average draws little nearer equal
as there are almost twice as many girls as
boys in the high school.
Several curious facts have come to light
in this years list of honor students, and
facts which have gone a long way to prove
certain teachers and parents theories on
what is proper high school life In the
first place, only one of the boys dances,
and some of the girls do not. But none Of
the entire list is Of the class of high
school students who spend the greater part
Of their energy in the social life Of the
school Another point to be noted is that
most Of them are members Of literary or
debating societies.
One Of the pupils, Edith Neale, who sue
ceeded in winning out in the essay contest,
was from Calhoun. She comes into Omaha
during the week and gets back TO her
folks only once week. In the meantime
she evidently works hard.
