High School Students Do Not Want
 German Any Longer - To Devote
 Money to Patriotic Object.
 An important meeting of Die Bes- serzrng. the High School society was held Monday afternoon at the High School auditorium. Principal B. A. Case talked to the students on the suhject of thrift stamps, asking that every student buy at least one stamp, not only to save money, but as pa frfotic duty.
 On account of the absence of the regular secretary, Russell Norton was elected secretary pro tenn.
 The meeting then went into a bus iness sennion. Because of the present war President Walter Reilly pointed out that the name of the society was very inappropriate, inasmueh as it is German, and he asked that a motion be made to change the name. He said that probably some of the alumni would be against changing the name but he thought 1t should be done. Aft CT remarks by different students, a motion was offered by William Wheel CT that the name of the society be changed, and that a committee be ap- pointed by the president to decide on a new name.
 Tt was voted that $2e0 of the money in the treasury of the society be ap- rropriared for some patriotic purpose, as for the purchase of thrift and war savings stamps or Liberty Bonds. Principal Case explained that some of the school money was being used to puchase stamps which are later sold to the students, tying up about $40 ol the money. It was voted that $40 be loaned for this purpose, and which will be placed with the rest of the s2od when it is decided what to do with the money.
 ] . The social part of the meeting was then given, with the following pro- gr1nrn1e: Piano solo, Miss Louise i Johnson; recitation, Miss Clark; pi- ano trio. the Misses Abbe. Wright and ! Patton; recitation, Miss Laura Or rot. ! Later in the day, President Walter Reilly appointed the following com mit1ees: Committee to discuss tht new name for the society, Kerwin w Reynolds of the faculty. chairman Maurice Leonard, alumni, John King IS, Claire Calnen, '19 and Giles Tnom as. 20.
