The Freshmen are planning to en-
terrain the other members of the
school at a Halloween party to be
given Saturday night.

Friday afternoon an assembly that
lasted an hour and one-quarter was
reason seemed to be to interest the
students in everything. A plan was
suggested by Margaret Weber to have
an assembly once a week, in which
all the students shall bring before
the school their wishes, plans, sug-
6CotlOHS, Clitltloflo, CtS. NndDCl ItCil
asked hat some yells be practiced at
these assemblies. Christina said we
had let Mr.. Scott bear all our bur-
dens the last four years and 1t was
about time to stand on our own feet.
Walter suggested that we practice
yells at the beginning and end of
every assembly to keep up our cour-
age and interest. After the student
meeting Nh. Scott announced that ma
terial had been sent for in order to
have a girls minstrel show and prac-
tice would o o begin. Mr.. Walker
is to have charge of a boys orches-
ira, therefore making it unnecessary
for the school to hire music for all
their entertainments. Mr.. Scott
asked that the upper classmen leave
their scrap paper in their own waste
basket and not strew it over the
Freshmen and Sophomore assembly.
Letters of thanks were sent to the
town boys, who have so greatly as
sisted us in our practice games. An
athletic association was formed and
a motion passed that the students pay
$1.25 a semester to belong to this,
which will entitle them to a season
ticket to all the basketball games.
The four speakers of the afternoon
were Ellen and George Becker, who
spoke on school business; Gerald,
who spoke on the people of South
Africa, and Bob, who told about Root,
The greatest lawyer In the world. His
next speech will be on Harding, the
next President of the United States.

Come on, you high school students.
Pull together and get this thing go
ing. For goodness sake don't grow
old and go off and die yet. We must
accomplish something this year, and
we might as well start in now. What's
the matter with getting together and
raising some money so we all can
take turns and go on trips with the
teams to back them up. OF course,
we can't all go at once. but we could
take turns. Get something started.
Get some pep in you. Now this isn't
a "bawling out" Just a little of
motherly advice.
