the two sophomore English classes
under the supervision OF Miss Ruth
Hunt and Miss Grace Galloway re-
produced these scenes OF the "Mer-
chant OF Venice: Scene 2. Act ],
Portia talking OF the characteristics
OF her suitors. Scene 3, Act /, Shy
lock lending his precious ducats.
Scene /, Act 4, The trial or court
scene, was given by both classes. All
the characters and especially the
ones who took the leading parts
were good. This is the first play
given by these classes and the teach
ers and pupils deserve much credit
for their hard work.
The boys taking German have
suddenly become more interested
than ever in the study OF that Ian
guage. Miss Nina McLatchey arrang-
ed menu in German and the pupils
prepared a Thanksgiving dinner
Wednesday for an imaginary hike.
They have learned the German
names for our more common foods
and used these in packing the din
ner. All talking that day was IN
German and the anti-English senti-
ment was very strong.

Prof. ]. w. French gave a very
vivid description Of the Minneapolis
game. This was very interesting
because only one or two of the pu-
pills were able to see the game. He
then gave a short talk on the Bel
gian relief fund. He expressed the
opinion that. no country has ever,
in the history of the world, gone to
the relief of a foreign neighbor, as
the United States will go to the re-
lief of Belgium. He closed his talk
by urging all the students to give
what they could to the cause.
Miss Nina McLatchey and Miss
Jessie Arndt sang a duet in chapel
morning. They were
by the girls glee club.
After this the girls glee club treat
ed the school to two fine selections.
The school is becoming prouder of
this organization all the time. The
visitors were Ernest Ross, Francis
Little, Howard Hoffman, Noah Her
shey and Lloyd Geoffroy.
The girls have been able to have
only, two ,or three nights of basket
ball. practice SO far, for they use an
open court and can play only when
the weather permits Enough girls
have been out at every practice for
two teams. Capt. Ruth Romberger,
Carrie Lee and Inez Dayton, all of /,
whom won their letters last year,
are back for the team. From the
the eighth grade made last
year, 1t is evident that the freshman
class has some players to be proud
Of. With Miss Marcia Story as coach
and the promising material, the
is excellent for the team
his year. However, If a hall cannot
,e secured, they will not be able to
,1ay, for the girls cannot practice
outdoors this winter. Every effort
las been made to find a hall, but,
IS yet, without success. The search
will be continued but at present the
utlook is not very bright. 1t seems ,
90 bad that the only girls sport 3
hould be shut out for lack of ia {
ilities.
A large audience of students and t
isitors was treated to two scenes !
