HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
BY Hunter Palmer. Jr.
Chapel Monday.
Il 81 II. S.


The school as usual enjoyed a brief
chapel period Monday morning. The
exercises were opened with a short
song with Miss Helen Linneer as ac-
companist. Miss Lnneer is no
doubt the best pianist in the school.
She is ready whenever called upon
and favors the school nearly every
chapel, as well as on other occasions.
Instead of the scripture reading,
Mr.. Lauterbach read short poem by
Lowell, entitled Longing The poem
was very delightful and pleasing to
all the students. It afterwards serv-
ed as a subject for an address by the
principal.
After this poem the school sang
another son-a delightful melody
Santa Lucia"
The real feature of the chapel was
q lecture or address by the principal.
1t was short fatheriy talk which con-
sumed nearly 30 minutes. He said:
THE quarter is closed. To some 1t
brought Joy. to others disappointment.
to some failure. others success. Seven
more weeks and the semester will be
closed, and likewise some will have
profted while others will have fail
ed"
He called to the attention of the
school the report of the twenty-five
students ranking highest in their
studies. He said that these students
were not the trouble makers in the
school In short he said, 1T is not
the e or G or possibly the F students
which cause the golden hair OF the
teachers to turn gray, deep furrows
to form in fair brows or blue eyes to
lose their luster. 1t is usually the d
students which cause the trouble and
II is the d. students over which the
teachers worry.
Purpose and ernestnesS lead to
success and fame. This is amply
proven by the lives of famous men of
today as well as yesterday. Among
these men we might include Living
stone, the African explorer; Dante,
who was made famous by the one
book, "Dante's Inferno" Gray, who
spent a long period of time writing
his elegy as well as our modern men
of science. such as Burbank and
Edison. The lives of these men and
many others prove that all the really
worthwhile things in life are won
thru sacrifce-tremendou sacrifice.
| We long for the prizes and honors.
but yet we never really work for
them. We never can obtain anything
by wishing for 1t. 1t is hard work
perspiration-that brings success
The last quarter of this semester
and all OF the next semester we should
all endeavor to bring our grades up
! at least to G. G is the grade for the
normal student Nearly all of US
are normal students; then why can
we not be G. students. 1t lies within
the reach Of all of US and all that is
necessary to attain 1t is work.
New Innovation Monday.
The school will adopt a new innova-
ton for Monday. A regular definite
schedule to be fled in the office must
be arranged by every student at the
High School. Besides this, at every
class it will be necessary for every
student to state the exact amount OF
time spent in preparation OF that
study. At the present rate 1t ap-
pears that nearly Everything that
! pertains to school life. activities or
interest will be thoroughly systema
tized. The teachers evidently have
been studying Personal Efficiency.
4 Even the methods OF study will be
systematized and little appliances
