HIGH SCHOOL r

Last Thursday morning Professor
Doyle, an instructor in elocution. gave
a very interesting talk to the high
school pupils. His talk was extreme.
ly interesting and educational. In the
afternoon he gave a few readings to
various classes, which demonstrated
his ability.
At $40 Thursday was held a mass
meeting to arouse interest in the high
school Annual, The Bomb" which
the senior class is putting out. Short
speeches were made by Principal
Lenander, superintendent Hargis. Edi-
tor Harold Sharp. Assistant Editor
Viola Williamson, Hall Miles of the
Humor department and Business Man
ager Paul Cobel. Coach Nelson also
made an appeal to the high schoolers
to remember the football team and to
help push football in every possible
way. After the mass meeting a senior
class meeting was held in which re-
ceipt books We're distributed to the
seniors. The plan is to have the
seniors solicit everyone to subscribe
for an annual. paying SOC down to
make sure their subscription, and to
pay the balance upon receipt of the
book. Receipts went like hot cakes
and the people seem TO be really in
terested in this project. Those who
wish a Bomb" should subscribe now
for very few extra copies will be or
dered. Any member of the high
school will be glad to take your or
der.
Friday at $40, another senior meet
ing was held. A travelling man with
samples of rings and pins displayed
his wares. After some discussion a
very unique little design was chosen.
1t has a tiny Statue of Liberty in the
center which is very appropriate At
this time. 1t is expected that the or
der will be sent this week and that
the rings and pins will arrive about
Christmas.
Monday at 1870 another mass meet
ing was held at which Miss Ward Of
the college spoke. Her topic was
Food Conservation" and in her
speech she pointed out ways by which
we could conserve food and yet have
plenty to eat.
Saturday evening the Delta Beta
and Minerva Literary societies en-
joyed a masquerade party given by
the Freshmen members of the SOcie
ties. The m~asqueraders appeared at
1880 and were ushered upstairs by two
ghosts. The hall was decorated in
beautiful style with Jack-o,lanterns
and all kinds of weird and ghostly dec
orations. They played games in which
everyone seemed to be enjoying them
selves to the very highest degree.
The unfamiliar figures moving about
made one feel almost as if it were
some unearthly place. During the
course of the evening a 1aShlieht pic
ture was taken of the happy group, by
Mr.. Clarin. Pumpkin pie a la mode
was served, while the Nictrola fur
nished music. But happy hours pass
only too quickly and the time to break
up soon arrived, but the party dis
persed voting the Freshies royal en-
tertainers. The next literary society
programs are to be given next Friday.
Visitors are always welcome.
Monday afternoon physics divisions
were entertained by the representa-
tive of the Keystone View Company,
He showed several lantern slides
which were educational as well as in
teresting. We hope the school sees
fit to purchase a lantern as the pic
lures give a much broader scope Of
the industries of the world, inventions,
events and interesting places.

the race for state championship and
