ing that evening. Incidentally Mr..
Vessey sang to the accompaniment OF
a ukelele played by himself. His first
selection was Aloha" The next
song was to be a Sunday school song,
he said. 1t was a real Sunday
school song" too-he had to pause
now and then to let the laughter die
down enough for him to be heard.
His last selection was "a Song About
the SUwanee River" 1t kept pace
with the Sunday school song"
Every one wanted some more, but he
did not seem to want to sing more
just then. When he finished Mr..
Mathes announced that the students
were to meet at the library and go
to the Chautauqua in a body. Profes-
sor Moore appointed several pupils
to help organize the expedition.
A student body meeting was held
last Tuesday, the object of which was
to hear the reports from music, ath-
letics and finances, and also to nomi-
nate officers for the next year. Mil
ton Fraley in the chair, Margaret
Ames secretary. The music report
was in regard to Carmen" The net
proceeds we're 1851. OF this
amount, $95 was paid on the victrola.
This payment causes the machine to
belong entirely to the school now.
Ebert Farlow, the assistant treasur-
er, was not present, so the financial
report could not be given. Coach
Hutchison next gave an itemized re-
port of athletics. He said that about
$1,400 had been taken in at the
games this year. This is pretty good
considering that only 25 cents was
charged except at the Thanksgiving
game, when the admission was only
35 cents. After the reports were dis
posed Of nominations were made Of

body president, Leslie Cunningham
and Leith Abbott; for senior vice

Easterling; for secretary, Alta Farm

The Rogue" is a fine book this
year, by far the most artistic annual
that has ever been put out by the
high school. 1t is not as large as
some other years, but there is plenty
in it, and anyway there are no adver-
tisements in it to take up room. Only
200 copies we're printed, and those
were sold the first day of sale. This
is also a record. Never before have
they been sold so quickly. Wednes-
day afternoon, when the ANNALS
came out, everyone visible around the
school was either carrying one under
his arm or had his face hid in one.
The usual anti-reading-annuals-in-
school act was proclaimed.
The music class has been guessing
