This is the time of the year when

know a rent collector or some real es-
tate broker. or some fellow who works
for an agency or building concern and
they hear glowing stories Of the big
sums paid for services rendered IN the
realty field of endeavor.
"Tts an easy job to collect rents. and
If the boss takes fancy to you and
sees that you are a quick learner, and
YOU make a hit with some rich clients,
you've got a soft life job" are some Of
the untrue things told to many Of these
inexperienced position seekers. As
they are uttered by men Of intelligence
and apparently good reputation ana
meaning, the delighted listeners make
up their minds then and there that
they will choose as their life career the
business OF a realty boss or agent.
Many a youth who was unsuited for the
realty world has had his steps directed

one realizes that his opinion on realty
matters is worth having and therefore

A body with willing hands, clear

FRESHMAN PROGRAMS

The program recitations" given
by the Freshman English classes
every month in their class rooms
are something new and well worth
the time spent in preparing them.
The old custom of rising to reclte
is slowly dying out of the schools
and the pupils become so embarras-
ed when they do have to stand on
their feet to give an oral theme that
they cannot remember half OF what
they were going to say.
If the other classes or even the
school would take up this plan OF
giving a monthly program they
would find considerable enjoyment
as we'll as great improvement IN the
daily Rotations of the pupils.

PREPAREDNESS

Preparedness is the one import
ant topic of the day. Everyone Is
talking preparedness for all things;
preparedness for their life occupa-
ton, preparedness for their future
home, in fact preparing for every
emergency.
The present students in Abilene
high school are wondering what
steps are being taken in preparing
for the three hundred of next
wear. Considering the crowded con-
ditions this year the Chinese puzzle
now is: Where will we put them
We shall almost have to take one
mans worthy suggestion, build a
roof garden. Every available space
is now occupied. If we do not nave
more room next year the students
who want to enter the doors OF A
II. S. will have to be met with the
impolite greeting "There is nc
room, you can't come in All IN

SENIOR PLAY TO BE STAGED
THURSDAY EVENING

The play to be presented by the
students for the benefit of high
school athletics at the Seelye next
Thursday night is a three act farce
written by John Haskell, member
of the present Senior class. Work
on the play under the direction OF
Miss Cora Ault has been progress
sing satisfactorily and the result
promises to be one of the best pro-
auctions given by the high school.
The play is a rural detective
mistaken identity combination and
leads to many amusing situations.
Deane Malott as man-hcnting "old
maid" will no doubt be a bowling
success.
The high school students are car
rying on a contest to see which
class can sell the most tickets. The
prices are thirty-five cents down
stairs and twenty-five cents in the
balcony and tickets bought from
the students may be reserved next
Tuesday, one day in advance of the
regular seat sale. AS big crowd
as greeted the athletic benefit play
last year when standing room was
sold will probably turn out for this
play.

CARE OF THE BUILDING

An attempt on the part OF each
pupil should be made to keep the
high school in good order. care
should be taken not to throw waste
paper on the floor, and not to stuff
II into the desks. Each pupil should
see that the waste paper is carried
to the waste basket at the end OIL
each period. This would help the
teachers out very much, and 1t
would also give the high school a
cleaner and more orderly appear
ance.

A Leak in the Kitchen"

Had the essay contest remained
open till the present time, the con-
testants would have had another
good reason "why we need a new
high school," A. H. S, has sprung
a leak, and with each thaw an over
supply of water finds its way
through the ceiling.
When Mr.. Simpson returned to
his room Monday morning AFTER
chapel he was greeted by the sound
of downpouring water, and upon
investigation discovered minia7
ture Niagara descending from the
ceiling of the physics store room,
more commonly known as the
Kitchen. He speedily placed the
five-gallon jar (kept for such emer-
gencies) under the leak, but not IN
time to prevent the fatal soaking OF
some data" sheets. And now ey-
eryone who enters the kitchen takes
his life in his hands" for who
knows at what minute other chunks
of plastering may follow the first
one which has already found its
final resting place?
