The Powell Literary Society

At the first meeting of the
Graham Literary Society last fall,
it was decided that two Societies
be organized, because the high
school enrolment had grown to
such q large extent. Numbers
were put in a hat and the pupils
drawing the odd numbers were
put in one society, and the pupils
drawing the even numbers were
put in the other one.
The even numbers organized a
society and named after our prin.
cipal. Miss Mary Bobbitt Powell,
who has been with US since our
high school career, so far, and
has done all in her power to pro-
mote the social life of the school.
The officers elected were: Rob-
ert Taylor, President; Norfeet
Wick, Vice.P President; Bern;ce
Hitchins, Secretary; Lilly John
son, Treasurer; Birdie Williams
and Ewel, Gowen were appointed
as Monitors. and Cooper Grizzard,
as critic.
The yellow rose was adopted
as the society flower. 'Impossi-
bic is un.American, +" the motto,
and green and old gold were Sc
lected as colors. Miss Crisp. the
music director, has written and
set to music, a song for this so.

spires US greatly when we sing
it. Our pins have at last arrived

Sophomore Class '23

Officers: President, Hal Balm;
Vice.President, Alma Vaughan;
Secretary, Maud Jones; Treasur-
er, Bernice Hitchins. Motto:
Facta Non Verba. Flower:
White Sweet Pea. Colors: Light
Blue and White.
1t is a known fact that the
Sophomore class of any school
has always been considered a
very wise class and surely this
class is no exception. Among
our number are nine boys and
eighteen girls, all of the most
brilliant type. Because we think
you, the, the public, would like
to know some of the miraculous
things that we have accomplish
ed | shall try to let you know at
least one thing about each men,
her of our class. One of the
most important things has been
accomplished by our esteemed
classmate Pently Hux. He has
not been found missing more
than II days since our Christmas
Holidays and let me whisper
this i believe he is trying to
make the honor roll. Then there
is Cleophus Bray, whom | fear
likes to eat too well in school,
And Howard Gray enjoys so well
the fact that he is important
enough to worry his neighbors.
By far the most brilliant men,
of the class is Hal Balm for
more reasons than one. Close
along with him are Josephine
Gowen, Merle Bell and Mamie
Sheffield and indeed Miss Lewter
ranks next to these. But | have
often heard this line quoted:
IAN that glitters is not gold, be.
cause sometimes it is red." and
being brilliant outwardly is no
sign Of a brilliant mind. Since
Zollie Powell and Ellen Jones
chose to demonstrate the song
when you and | were young
Maggie, they have been very
quiet. We know that Clayton
Gruley and Roland Johnson know
all there is to be known, yet they
have to be urged to impart their
knowledge to their fellow-cIass-
men. As for Lawrence Spencer,
he may be the smallest in body
but he is certainly not the small
est in mind. Then there is Fran
els Wyche, who, because of his
marked ability, especially in Lat
in, succeeds in finishing his as
signment in half the allotted
time. Afterwards it is his de-
light to remark Haven't you
girls finished yet" and instantly
Josephine may be heard to ex-
claim, why | have already
translated the next chapter. "
Speaking of Latin Josephine
Gowen certainly wins the cup for
perfect pronunciation; and Alma
Vaughan is almost as accomplish

tell the number of letters that
Eulalie Robertson gets, but. we
know that she always has a new

As for the musicians of the class
our noted musician, Maud Jones

knows how to substitute frying

is a very apt pupil of the ukalele.

everything and informs US of
the fact by her pleasant laugh.
There is one other person in the

that a "woman's browning beauty
is her hair, 3" and we can say that
Annie Belle Daughtry may win
first prize here. We want to
commend Olivia Rock for her
faithful attendance in school,
even though she lives so far
from the school, we can usually
see her there and on time. There
are Josey Moore and Alma Jack

tie people who declare so yehem-
emily against any wage reductions
seem to overlook this fact.
The trouble is that wage payments
have been enormously reduced
without accomplishing anything
toward restoring the balance be.
tween the industries. The loss OF
wages aud production is sheer
waste. The cost of production in
all the industries that have laid off
workers without reducing wage
rates is as high as il was before
and prohibits the expansion of con
