The musical appreciation class is
thankful for the extra study hour but
some of them haven't made their
scrap books yet. Woe unto them.
From the time students enroll in
high school they are taught to uphold
the school honor, colors and stand
ards. "School honor" should be and
has been one of the reasons why high
school students are allowed such lib
critics. 1t is the basis of the rules
that regulate our conduct while in
school. The more liberty we are al
lowed, the better the standard of the
school because the liberties are meted
to us by that measure. There is
another kind of honor-persona
honor. 1t is that standard of NOR
ais or conduct by which man or
woman is judged. 1t is the basic
substance that goes to make ones
character. Character is the keynote
to reputation. The truth will be out.
OF late it has been unsafe to leave
anything, whether valuable or not,
in your coat. AS high as five dollars
has been stolen from coats in the
cloak room. Any person who would
take anything from any coat other
than his own is a thief, lacking in
personal honor and school honor. If
he isn't, let him prove it. We advise
him to stop before he is stopped.
Last Thursday a dreadful commo-
ton was heard in the lower hall Pu-
pills rushed to the scene but found
it was only Albert's shirt and tie
having a scrap.

The school certainly looked bust

an equal number of girls are wearing

school was entertained at chapel by
the evangelists, Mr.. and Mrs. Howe.
Mr.. Howe sang a couple of good
songs and then played a few selec-
tions on the violin. His imitation of
the squealing pig was exceedingly
amusing to say the least. Mr.. Atkins
then related few interesting and
humorous stories. The program was
appreciated by all those present and
the students all agree that it was
good entertainment.
Thursday morning Mr.. Modsley
and Mrs. Chance, working in behalf
of the InterChurch movement, gave
US couple of instructive talks. Mrs.
Chance showed US the need for more
young people in the work. Mr.. Mods
ley gave us briefly the general outline
and proportions of the movement.
The talks were both presented in a
pleasing way and were well received
by the students.

minutes the gloom wore off and the
