SAAACtII
The Tau Kappa Society Initial
ed Miss Hazel Hedges into their
Society last week.
There seems to be some misun-
Outstanding about the statement
made last week in regard to the
game between the Sophmore-
freshmen and the Senior-Junior
baseball teams There were two
played. In the first the game was
a tie and in the second it stood
eleven to ten in favor of the Soph-
ore-Freshman. Then there were
three games played by the Soph-
more-Freshman and the public
school and the former won two of
them and not two from the Jun
iors-Seniors.
bliss Hershiser conducted Parlia-
mentary Drill for the girls last Fri
day afternoon. The lesson was the
Duties of the President.
The Sophmore Class sympathize
with Il absent member Oleta
Clark. The class showed their ap-
probation of the worth of their
former classmateFloyd Clark by at
tending the funeral in a body.
Their floral Offering was a pillow
with "Soph." on it, selected by the
boys of the class. Floyd graduated
from the grammar school with
this class and attended high school
with them a part of last year. All
OF us were deeply touched by the
beautiful tribute given yesterday
to Floyd by Judge Taber. May
the message he brought us sink
deep into u own lives and all life
be sweeter and richer thereby
The girls were never entertained
more royalty than they were at the
party given in their honor last Fri
day There were not 50 many boys
as girls but the boys showed them
selves equal to the occasion.
On Friday April 18th there were
no special reports for the Boys
Parliamentary Law Class, and in
stead each member answered the
rCll call with a long well-studied
Current Event.
The rest of the period was spent
in studying Parliamentary Law
proper, in which the Main and Sec
ondary Motions were discussed.
Friday the 25th there will be sew
eral papers on topics of the day
and also a debate between several
of the class.
The party given by the boys to
the girls came off in good shape
and all seemed to enjoy themselves.
The Freshman party will be given
also on April 25th This is the last
class party of the year and the
Freshman Class will no doubt try
to give the best party of the year.
Some time in the near future the
Senior-Junior team will play the
Soph-FrCshman team for the cham
pionship of the school. The game
will no doubt be a lively one as
both teams are set on winning the
championship. This game will
probably be played at the ball park.
No admission will he charged.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the Tau Kappa Society 4:
Whereas, 1t has pleased the Great
Teacher to call from our midst
Floyd Clark, our former school
mate, therefore let it be
Resolved, that we, the members
Of the Tau Kappa Society express
our heartfelt sympathy to the fam
lily and friends of the bereaved,
and especially To our friend and
fellow member. Oleta, his sister.
Resolved, that d copy of these ro-
solutions be spread upon the min
utes of our society and that a copy
be sent to the family of our depart
ed friend.
