The Freshmen.

Since this issue OF The World is tc
be devoted to tho freshmen Of the
high school. It IL ntung that we
should express our views on the
subject and also as big brother
to all freshmen. give them what
advice we may from our own eN-
perlence
We like the freshmen. the gior-
ious. green, RurglinE galaxy OF gig
Cling freshmen We like them for
their very greenness which keeps
spring alive In the hearts OF the
world weary seniors We were once
a freshman ourselves and we believe
that we were the greenest freshman
that ever was We bought a semes-
ter meal ticket In the cafeteria and
paid two-bits for a season ticket TO
assembly. We also did without a
collar and used the back stairs ex-
cluslvely.
However. freshmen were made
for a purpose. We didn't know that
then, but we do now Ereshmen
were made TO keep the spirit and
morale OF a school normal. 10 be
the very life OF the school Some
times when We think school spirit
and the world In general In dead we
are brought TO our senses by the
sound Of falsetto voices In a wild
outburst OF melOdious noise. and we
see their beaminK faces light up the
DARK and dismal halls and already
We feel better

water off a ducks back They smile
serenely at the furious preceptor
who austerely commands them TO
inure themselves to the mild volup-
tousness OF er-hum. Detention. In
inqutrinG about the favorlte resort
OF all freshmen we find much TO
our sorrow that Detention ranks
first The only way we can account
for this Ia the delightful attraction
Of Miss Robords presence in the
room.
We advise that all freshmen
should adopt an advisor among the
members OF the faculty. and after
compiling much data the statistics
on the subject show that MIR. VII.
liam HYward Hake. head Of the
Latin department. il very popular
among the freshmen. We strongly
recommend the gentlemen our.
selves We also advise that every
freshman get acquainted with some
senior. Yes, We know the difficult
ties OF the thing. we remember that
when We were IA freshman We selec-
ted several good looking seniors
both girls and boys. and placed
them ON a pedestal suitable Tor
worshipplug and then proceeded ~
do so. and longed for the time when
we, ourselves. should have attained
such great heights. NOw that we
have. we find that We are not 50
10 the freshmen after all.
We don't know whether this condi-
ton, Just mentioned. EXISTS now or
not but we feel sure that II the

YOU the suggestion that there is a

The Junior Red Cross

The Junior Red Cross OF Central

weeks ago, having Mrs. Gubser at the
head u1 Il. Miss Kimball is one of
the committee.
Among other activities the Junior
Red Cross Is collecting all the things
that will aid directly or indirectly
In winning the war. Most OF these
things would otherwise go to waste
At present the girls are expsnding
all their efforts In the collecting of
tlnfoil. Posters have been made to
advertise the work. Small coffee
cans are used ns receivers for the
tnfoil. These boxes have n hole in
tho lid and are wrapped with white
paper bearing the Insignia OF the
Red Cross. These cans are placed in
each OF the grade schools and in the
cigar stores down town,
The boys have been urged TO help
in this work as some OF Il IL too
heavy for the girls However, az yet
we have not had n very hearty re-
sponse.
Clean quart BOTTLES are also de-
sired by this organization. Pieces OF
old rubber, such ms worn out automo-
bile tires, are wanted. and everyone
Is urged TO contribute
Through the suggestion Of II. A.
Wilton Van Reede. the Bible class
has also started to collect tlnfoil.
Tinfoil ls worth 20 cents per pound.
The proceeds from both orEanlza
tions go for the same cause, that OF
the relief OF Belgian children.
Also, as Mr. Tubbs announced In
assembly Tuesday of this week, vari-
ous other things may be saved and
used FOR the same purpose. Some of
these are: clan white rags. mixed
rags wooden rags wafer tins and
