The old chapel enthusiasm Is re-
returning. The orchestra will soon
be In place and 1t promises US some
fine music this year. Wednesday
after the morning exercises and
Professor Steeper's usual announce
ments, our worthy superintendent
gave US a short talk, In which he
told OF the great improvements that
have been made in the high school
system since he was boy. After
ward, the student body, led by Noah
Hershey, expressed itself by giving
the high school yells.

C. M. Harger is very much inter
ested in young cubs. He has given
us one talk on newspaper work, and
he will be at the high school next
week to talk on "The Writing of the
Story" He will speak directly to
the senior boys but the members of
the faculty and the senior girls are
heartily invited to attend the lee
ture. These lectures contain prac-
teal and sensible advice on news
paper work for which we are highly
indebted to Mr.. Harger.

If the patrons Of our high school
knew what an interesting place the
domestic science laboratory is, we
are sure that place would be crowd
| ed by visitors every day. With Miss
Marcia Story as supervisor things
move along pretty swiftly in that
| Laboratory. The room used for ID.
u.s." is In the basement, just beneath
tthe English room. 1t is fitted with
nine work tables and nine gas
stoves. Two students work at each
table. so that room accommodates
eighteen students at one time. The
lsmall room north of the laboratory
lis used asa supply room, This week
the I'D. s." department took up. the
cookery Of sugar. This process was
illustrated by the making Of candy.
The first and second weeks of work
| in this department were spent in
taking notes and getting the sup
plies ready for use. The next week
tea and coffee were INDUCED in by
the cooks From the scent that
came from the laboratory that week
we Judged that some excellent bev-
erages were being turned out. An
other thing about that I'd. s." de-
partment: the cooks surely treat a
fellow with some consideration. They
show him around and let him sam
pie their "eats." We feel sure that
the men Of the rising generation
will be a thankful lot.

The most interesting chapel OF
the season was held Friday morn
ing. The orchestra played a march,
Triumph of the Century" for the
opening number 1t was heartily
applauded by the students. The reg
ular devotional services were held
and everyone present took an active
part. The speaker of the morning
was NJ. D. Collins. He gave a very
interesting talk on the different
kinds of sports, laying special en-
phasis upon teamwork. At the close
of his speech he urged that the
cheering teams and the football
team work in harmony If they ex-
lpect to be victorious. Just before
chapel was dismissed the enthusiasm
Of the students was tested. Such
cheering and singing has never been
heard in A. H. S. before. Everyone
left the chapel to take up their
