HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.


Reavis, one of this years most prom
Using Freshmen, favored US with d
excellent vocal solo which was accom-
panied on the piano by Mabel CLARK
The next thing on the program wa
Professor Henderson's "annual tuitiol
speech" which made big hit with til,
old students. The Freshies don't se,
the point as yet, but there is plenty O.
time for that. We should say that tn,
next one should come due about the lasI
of the quarter. Following this Profess.
or Coonrod gave us most interesting
talk on "Observations on and about
Pixies Peak" which he visited while on
his western trip this summer. We hope
the professor will favor US again.
The Chemistry class has expressed
a wish that Mr.. Coonrod's next talk
will be one he gave them in class on
''seasickness." They assert that it
will be one glorious laugh.
Last Thursday evening the Alpha
Sigma Literary Society met and held
the most turbulent and exciting cleo
ton in its history. Every Office was
holly contested except that of sergeant
alarms which was unanimous. The
election returns are: President, AL
fred Haynes; Vice-President, Donald
Pharis; Secretary, Ethel Coonrod;
Treasurer, Leslie Harper; Sergeant-at-
arms, Ralph Wright; Chaplain, BERTHE
Silvers.
'Rah, for the Teachers Convention!
Bless 'em! No school Thursday or Fri
day.
In great contrast to the Alpha Sigma
election was the quiet election of the
Delta Kappa's. Their officers are as
President-Eugene Arnold, Senior.
V. Pres.-James Williams, Junior.
Sec. Minnie Bullock, Senior.
Treas. Doris Wyatt, Sophmore.
Chaplain-Nylene Prewitt, Freshman.
Attorney-Paul Snow, Junior.

SOPHMORE NOTES.
On last Thursday morning the Junior
oys, in the person of Dixie Mccain,
