School Notes
By MADELINE M. SHOEMAKER.

Last Monday morning we enjoyed
chapel period. the entertainment for
which was furnished by our high
school orchestra. composed of seven
members, Lois Armentrout, Jean
Stock. Len Tucker. Louis Goodrich.
Gerald Rockafellow. James Sinden.
John Sinden. Ruth Ross, pianist. and
Prof. Dick, director, The music was
most enjoyable and great credit is due
the organization for its earnest effort.
Wednesday night our basketball
team defeated the local Y. NJ. c. A.
team by a schore of IS to "a. The
game was played on our floors and
was intensely interesting. This VIC
tory has given our boys great encour-
agemeat for the future games.
Friday morning we enjoyed what is
unquestionably the best chapel period
we have had this year. This casts no
reflection on former speakers, but DR.
Mead's speech, based as it was on
first-hand information, and lifelong
experience with people and conditions,
had an appeal which was irresistible
He talked to us for nearly three-quar-
ters of an hour. and all that he said
tended to impress upon us the fact
that America holds the destinies of all
the nations in her hands. He said
that this war was peculiar in that we
had left our country, our own work,
and our own problems in order to go
out and swing the tide of battle
against the tyranny of the Hun. He
spoke of the new world that would
appear as soon as the smoke of bat
tie cleared away, . new world geo
graphically, socially and morally. Our
ideas, he said, must be the great force
in this new world, and our decisions
on every question must vitaliy affect
the life of every human being on the
globe. He pointed out the fact that
every nation is dependent upon Amer
lea. England and France are stripped
and there are 100000 graves of Eng
lish lads in Flanders alone. and 1.50O,-
900 French boys have perished that
France might i've. There are H.
100000 fresh graves in Europe since
1914. These figures may show in
part the sacrifices of our Allies. 1.-THE
future of Russia said DR.. Mead, "de-
pends upon America Armenia and
Syria look to America-even Germany
begs for bread. And at just this time
the great moral question must be
faced, the question whether now after
we have given so freely OF our man
hood and our resources, we win still
give food and money to those whose
lives depend upon our generosity
alone. Dr. Mead Femained at the high
school all day. and during that time
the boys took advantage Of the oD-
portunity to talk with him concerning
their plans for the future 1t was
a rare privilege for us to have DR..
Mead with US. and we connot be too
grateful.
