This week has been an Interesting
lone for the domestic science classes.
IFIour mixtures of all kinds were
made. The early part Of the week
was spent in cake baking and the
latter half in bread making. For the
past two weeks all articles made
were sold with but little advertise
ment. The domestic science bank
is very heavy and the prospects are
that Il VIII soon be full.

1.-THE Mysterious Mr.. Brown"
which was to have been staged last
Friday night. was presented last
night. A Latin play called "A Ro-
man School" was used as a Curtain
raiser" The latter play was given
by the sophomore, junior and senior
Latin classes.
Mr.. Wilson, who is conducting the
revival meetings at the Christian
church, spoke in chapel Friday
morning. The orchestra played sew
eral selections, and the boys and
girls giee clubs sang. All the music
was good, and does credit to the
high school and to Miss McLatchey.
The last number the girls sang was
"Tipperary" and they were deter
mined to show the school that they
could sing it with more pep than
the boys did in chapel two weeks
ago. At the beginning of the last
verse all the boys in the glee club
arranged themselves in front of the
stage, and when the girls reached
the chorus, they took up the song
and proceeded to drown the girls
out. They did a pretty thorough
Job of it too. Mr.. French announced
that the girls glee club would go to
Emporia April 80 to- take part in
the singing contest for girls glee
clubs.
The orchestra played, "The High
Cost of Loving" in chapel Friday |
presumably in sympathy
with some of the senior boys. (This
was handed in by senior girl, who
seems to know. But whether 1t was
a hint or sarcasm Is not kmown.o
Mr.. French gave a talk on school
spirit" in chapel, Wednesday morn
ing. He said that school spirit does
not consist in Just supporting the
athletic teams, but in standing be-
hind the school in everything else
as we'll. and I'm doing the smaller
things which help to make the
school better.
The high school music department
is now in the best condition that 1t
has been for years. Last year the |
music department was hampered.
This year under the excellent train
ing of Miss Winona McLatehey, four |
excellent organizations have been
formed. The chorus is larger this
year than it ever has been, number
ing about one hundred and fifty
pupils. The girls glee club is COM
posed of twelve very talented mem
bers who have many times been
asked by people outside Of the
school to sing for them. In fact,
they are such good musicians that
they are going to take part in the
state contest which is to be held at
