three boys on the basket ball

we will have a coach so that

Junior Class

If any student Of Roanoke
Rapids High School should ask
himself the question, Which
class in High School has the
highest scholarship" and if he
will allow himself to give an un-
prejudiced answer he will say,
THE Junior Class" This is
the first class in high school, to
have an average Of fifty per cent
on the honor roll this year. 1t is
not our purpose to give in a boast
full way review of our achieve
ments but on the other hand to
state facts as they are.
In the first place this class has
the distinction of furnishing the
first editor-in.chief of our school
news to the Roanoke Rapids
Herald. 1t also furnishes two
boys on the first team of the
boys basketball team; namely,
Norfeet Wick and Louis Ander-
son. Another distinction that
this class can boast of is the CO.
median of the High School. If
you are interested to know who
he is, just ask the High School.
No one can find fault with the
personal appearance Of this class,
if he will just note the masculine
members as they observe their
reflection in Watts masterpiece
the picture of "Sir Galahad,"
which serves conveniently as a
mirror. One Of the fairer men,
bers of the class, to show her ad-
miration for them, visited the

The Freshman Class

"Oh! Freshmen, aren't they?'
was the satirical remark which
was waited to US through the
open door of the Freshmen's
room and which we knew must
come from the lips of some
naughty Senior.
Well, and what if we are
freshmen. Until this moment
we had beer rather proud of be-
ing allowed to be freshmen. But
the superior one came walking in
to the, room and straight toward
US with her criticizing eyes sur
veying US from head to foot. She
seemed to think that the thing
for us to do would be to sink out
of sight, and was much of the
same opinion for awhile. But
we were saved by one of our
number who quite proudly in
quired of her in a calm voice;
Are you a Freshman or a Sop
homore?" Squelched! well Iguess.
Yes, that is exactly the opinion
that some of you have of US lowly
Freshmen. But let me tell you
sophomores, juniors, seniors and
public; we shall not remain in
oblivion for long. Already we
are advancing to the front and in
a few years will be at the top.
For were you not freshmen be-
fore you were sophomores, ju-
niors and seniors? Have you
forgotten how thrilled you were
when you were enrolled as men,
bers of the High School.
We can claim some notoriety
for being by far the largest class
in High School. We have in our
class twelve boys and thirty-two
girls. Our class officers are.

Why Not Trust Congress?

~ HE MORE consider it, the more unwse appears
the proposal that Congress surrender to the Secre
tary of the Treasury its control over the huge ndeb
edness of the Entente Powers to the United States
We should consider the proposal unwise, matter
who the Treasury official what executive officer of the
Government intended the recipient of such
troled power.
There have been many breaches recently in the div
sion walls erected by the Constitution limit the arbitrary
power of executives Legislative authority has been
continually seepng out through these breaches into the
executive department.
Congress has in recent years exercised less and less
its Judgment and discretion; it has and
left important decisions to the Executive The power Of
initiative is almost entirely gone; it retains only kind
of eruptve, spasmodic and sporadic power of veto.
This is not the kind of Congress forefathers
ceved and intended to create 1t not the kind of law
making body which free country should have.
Our courts, in deliberately have usurped
some of the Presidents power and of the powers of
Congress These usupatons have to this extent changed
form of and deprived citizens of the
democracy guaranteed by the Constitution
Our foreathers believed that in all matters properly
within the scope of legislative powers the Judgment the
many minds in Congress safer than the sole judy
ment of an executive.
Without doubt the people of America today believe
the thing They would prefer to trust the Judgment

In fact, many men spend their lives in Congress
and never come to amount to much in its delib-

Plat made speech. He told Congress many
and interesting things about the denizens of the
feathered world
Congress didn't care much about birds. but it
respected a man who was such an obvious master

He believes that his knowledge of birds gave him

Soft Words of LLOYD George
IA S the whole might of the
British Empire was in Au-
4 - pucf 1Q1d cost into NOR >,

- DlilioH Liipio was III nu-
- gust, 1914, cast into war;"
said Lloyd George in speech at
Thame few days ago, to-day the
same power is thrown into the
scales of peace.
The phrase sounds well. Perhaps
the British Premier really thought
he meant what he was saying. But,
oddly enough, it was within very
few hours of this pacific utterance
that the intelligence was given out
by the British government that the
building of four battleships of the
Hood type would be proceeded with.
To lull the world into quiescence
by proclaiming a devotion to peace,
while at the same. time strenuously
preparing for war, is form of po-
litical strategy not wholly foreign
to the nature of the astute Premier
of Great Britain.
But it is necessarily the part of
prudence on the part of other ma
tons, and ours in particular, to
look beyond the politicians words to
the statesman 8 deeds.
The addition to the British navy
contemplated by the construction of
these capital ships puts it far ahead
of any need that can possibly arise
from European complications.
The old "two power" standard
applied to European powers only,
and today there is no European
power of first naval rank except
England.
In adding thus enormously to its
fleet of fighting ships Great Britain
must necessarily be looking across
the Atlantic for a possible adver-
sary.
Not all the honeyed words of
British diplomats can wholly offset
the conclusions logically to be
drawn from this act.
1t is for the United States to be
at least equally prudent.
