High School Notes

There will be no school for two
weeks because of Christmas yaca-
ton. Practically all of the teachers
will leave Friday for their homes.
Miss Williams is having try outs
for the mid-winter play. A large
number Of students tried out ard
great deal Of interest i s being
shown. Practice will start as soon
as the characters are picked.
Prof. Smith Of the university in
spected the high school Tuesday.
He reported favorably on all de-
partments of work. He commended
especially the studious attitude of
the student body and the general
good conditions of the building.
The three Victrola nights have
been very successful. The net pro-
ceeds are around SIS, which is
enough to pay for the Victrola which
was wanted. The Victrola is now
in the school and is being used
every day. Mr.. Amy has obtained
some very fine records for the ma
chine The high school as body
wishes to thank the public and Mr..
Rosenberg for making it possible
that the school should have as nice
a Christmas gift as this.
Mr.. Amy is devoting one general
exercise period a week to his talks
on the different professions. Up to
date he has talked on four profess
sions, namely, dentistry. medicine,
law and pharmacy. He has obtained
authentic statements co e n g
each profession and uses them as a
basis for his talk. To the students
who desire to take up profession
but who do not know which of two
or three they wish to take mp, these
talks are a great help. They give
such statements as the average IN
come of each profession, the best
place to locate for the quickest re-
turns and whether the profession is
overcrowded or not.

The STORY OF
nSPENDER" AND
"SAvER"

Twin boys were porn. Wnen Iney
were babies their parents even could
not tell them apar. without mark
ing" them. So their mother put a
blue ribbon around Billy's neck and
red ribbon around the neck Of
John. To the blue ribbon she fas-
tened little trinket; on the red rib
bon she tied a gold dollar.
When the twins were six years old
they looked exactly alike but they
were not alike. When friends would
send them both postal cards from a
distance Billy would leave his out
in the yard in the rain or the dew;
John would always keep his safe in
the house.
The twins were taught to work.
One was just as bright as the other
But there was this difference; when
Billy made a dollar he would spend
every cent of it and even go in debt,
but John always saved a good part
of what he earned and put his
money in the bank.
Billy's real name was "Spender I"
Johns real name was Saver. !"
When they were sixteen they both
went to clerking in the same store
for the same wages. "Spender"
kept on spending all he earned;
Saver" saved a part ofhis pay and
put some of it-all he could spare
regularly every week into the bank.
Ten years passed. One day the
man who owned the store called the
Saver to him and said: John, I'm
going to sell you half interest in
my business. The banker tells me
you have been saving your money
every week for ten years. You can
pay me now what you have saved;
the balance you can pay me as the
business earns it,
When Billy, the Spender, knew
that John, his brother, had been Of
fered a part ownership in the store
he went to his employer and said:
Won't you sell me, too, an interest
in the business?"
mo. Bi ly, l won't for this rea-
son: You haven't got any money
which you have saved out of your
earnings"
MORAL-Youngman and young
woman, too-saye a part Of what
you earn and put it in the bank.
The First National bank is now
offering everyone splendid way to
save in their christmas Banking
Club" You can start now a bank
account with a dime and increase
your deposit dime each week for
fifty weeks and have $I27.50.
You can start with a nickel and
increase your deposit a nickel
week for fifty weeks and have sos IS
You can start with two cents and
increase your deposit two cents a
week and have in fifty weeks SIS SO.
The one-cent club in fifty weeks
pays $12,75.
You can also put in an even
amount each week as small as fifty
cents and as high as S. 90 or $1,000
or more.
This Christmas Banking club is
positively the best plan ever
thought of to get yourself into the
habit of saving your money.
Every member of your family
from baby up can join the club. You
