HIGH SCHOOL notes

| plan to get ideas for their creed At
the head of the campaign is the Art
Division, work of which is to print,
in poster form, the numerous ideas
turned in by the members of the club
The main thought, of course, is to get
the ideas of the club before the school
as a whole. A committee composed of
the very best English authorities in
the city, will be asked to pick from
these ideas those which will offer the
best possible good to the club and
community as a whole.
Interest Not Equalled
The club members themselves along
with the students of the school as
whole have been taking great inter-
est and pride in the whole effort. One
of the teachers remarked that the in
| terest and earnest work shown by all
| was never before known to be equal
ed. 1t became SO intensely interesting
| that even the boys had to have a
hand in it even though it was a girls
campaign. The whole school is to OBJ
serve three big days: Good Taste Day.
Good Scholarship Day, and COURTESY
Day. On each of these days posters
| will emphasize what real courtesy is.
the various ways in which good taste
can be shown. etc, etc. On the same
days these ideals will be put into
practice. Friday, October 20, will
mark the close of this campaign.
Courtesy Day was so enthusiastic
that it was decided to run this peri
cd for fortyeight more hours. There
was not word said during the whole
campaign, but many ideas were put
before both the boys and girls which
caused them to think and to see what
each lacked in living up to the ideals
ot the other. Some of the strong
est points were put over in this man
| ner:
The girls made signs or posters re-
Veailng to the boys what they eX-
pected OF them, and the boys, in turn
put up snappy answers and also let
the girls know what they expected of
them. Posters which were placed in
| conspicuous places repeatedly re-
minded each one of some way in
which he or she could be more cour-
| teous. Other reminders were used as
| aids to the teachers in that thew helm
ed the students to forget some of
| their substituted expressions which
| they had been in the habit of using
| IN addressing the teachers. Other
| means were employed, one of them
making use of the quotations obtained
from men of great influence.
This Courtesy Day campaign was
closed Friday morning by a mass
meeting The whole school took part
| in it. Among those asked to saw
word in regard to the campaign were:
Miss Luzenska acting as chairman.
MISS Stoddard, as head of the Eng
