The weekly meeting of the Student
Body was held at the. usual time FRI
lay afternoon. 1t was decided in this
meeting that the cup won by the bas-
ketball girls last year should be en-
graved with the names of the ten who
went to Reno. Mr.. Scott will take
the cup to Reno to have it engraved
at the time of the Teachers Insti-
tute.
A discussion was also held to de-
eide on a definite time for orchestra
practice, which has been very irreg-
ular for the past two weeks because
Of lack of time. In spite of the fact
that the faculty and students tried to
c~ollaborate to this end, they were
unsuccessful, the matter being left
for Miss Webb. Miss Terrill and Mr..
Walker to decide.

1t seems that If the law of right
and left side of the hall were OBJ
served, there would be less collisions
and more order in passing from class
to class. Perhaps a policeman in the
middle of the hall would help mat
ters along, If no other method is
thought of. The lodging and jump
ing that the poor students of the
Senior and Junior assembly must
accomplish to arrive at their respec-
tive classes is really pitiful.

First Appearance of Dramatic Club
Huge Success
The first performance Of the Dra-
matte Club was given at the American
Theatre Thursday night. The men,
bers of the club who entertained were
Ada Moore and Mateo Legarza. Ada
represented a negro nanny, Aunt
Whey" and gave only the first selec-
ton of her humorous monologues.
She did so well that everyone is look
ing forward with great pleasure to
her next appearance.
Mateo represented an Italian "Gui-
seppe" and made as big a hit with the
audience as Ada did. These two did
so we'll and everyone was so well
pleased that we are now hoping that
the other members of the club will do
as well. The next performance given
the American will be next Wednes-
day night, in which George Hoskins
and Ruth Hubbard will be the enter
t~ainers.

The Put-It-Offs
-
My friend, have you heard of the town
of Yawn,
On the banks of the River Slow,
Where blooms the Wait-awhile flower
fair,
Where the Sometime-or-Other scents
the air,
And the soft Go-Easies grow?
1t lies in the valley Of What's-the-
