E. II. Rifle Girls
Enjoy a Party

The first event for this semester
on the calendar OF the girls rifle
club at Eastern. was a social al
fair. Early this month the men,
bers Of the girls club and boys
club laid aside their rivalry and
competition for one night, and went
"fifty-fifty" in giving a dance.
With many shining marks from
each club present 1t was a bril-
liant affair.
The really important events,
however, are the practice days
every Wednesday. The old prov
erb, practice makes perfect"
might be changed to Practice
makes bulls eyes," for that is about
the only way they can be made.
Something can be said right
here on the subject Of the scores
now being made. Those Of both
the morning and the afternoon
girls who come down regularly
are steadily improving. Slowly
but surely these girls are getting
to be crack sharpshooters.

BY T. s. p. &.

The dance of Companies A. D.

Cairo on last Tuesday evening.
The event compai ed favorably
with the dance of the same COM

year was considered one Of the
best ever given.
Capts. Dennison, Marks and
Lebowitz, of the three companies
respectively, comprised the dance
committee; the results speak we'll
for their ability and their efforts.
Many Of the notables of the
alumnae were present, including
Robeat Seckinger. captain Of the
winning Company A Of 1920. and
Schultz, major OF the First bat
talon of the Second regiment OF
1921.
The superb condition of the
floor and the wonderful rhythm

BY LIEUT.. COL. ANADALE.

The new semester has started.
With the new semester come new
problems and questions to con-
front. The question that concerns
the cadets most is, WHO will win
the competitive drill7"
Let cadets Of Business High
School decide now that IT shall be
one Of the Business companies that
wins. We can do It II we only
buckle down to real hard work
and grim determination instead Of
wasting the few drill days by in
effectiveness and kidding in the
companies.
For the past few years the Bust
ness companies have lost the drill
by only a very small margin. In
1919 Company sc" won third place.
Cadets are not to be satisfied with
losing the drill by only a small
margin, but are going to do their
best to bring that coveted flag
back with them from the drill field?
So far this year our companies
have not made any brilliant rec
ords, but now is the time to wake
up, make these records, and finally
achieve that best record OF all,

Eastern Junior Is
Favorable TOWARD
High Scholarship
BY SYBIL CREWS.

Often in high school life the
mere preparation of lessons Is con-
sidered as secondary to going to all
the games or club meetings. or
course, this is a sadly mistaken
idea; but II persists, unless some
thing is done to call the attention
Of the students to the facI that les
sons stand first.
The system Of scholastic honor
awards successfully does this. A
pupil realizes that he can not earn
these awards without carefully
preparing his lessons each night,
and is, therefore, reminded that
this is his primary duty. This
system also has the advantage of
bringing the students to realize the
true meaning Of school spirit.
Basketball, football, and baseball
boys naturally are very highly
honored. a great deal is said at
assemblies about attending all the
games, and thus showing school
spirit. The awarding Of scholastic
honors, however. makes the pupils
realize that this is not the only
kind OF school spirit, and that we
are bringing just as much if not
more, honor to our school by
having a high scholastic standing,
as by helping our boys to bring
home athletic honors.

Woo in Flower Language.

The language Of flowers in the Near
East is no simple form of speech that
anyone may understand. Long and
elaborate communications may be sent
by bouquet If the lady is not too lazy
to learn a complicated code. There
is, say those Turks who claim to I'M
derstand it, direct and an indirect
form Of flower message
The indirect message goes by words
that rhyme either with the name of
the flower or with the meaning of the
name Of the flower. They go to
lengths in selecting and collecting
posies for bouqHets to be sent singly
and In series that would be quite too
much trouble to the average Ameri-
can. To the average American girl
1t sounds too complicated to interest

OLD FORM OF TELEez...FP:aIl..a.aa
Crude Method Employed by Anc.sni
Peoples, but 1t Conveyed L. lie.
sired information.

Practical telegraphy is not so en-
firely product of modern science as
many may suppose. 1t is tradition that
Agamemnon telegraphed the fall OF
Troy to Greece by means Of bonfires ON
the mountain tops. Although there may
be much doubt as to whether this is
not a mere legend, there can be no
question that In the second century
before Christ there was a system Of
telegraphing in Europe by which mes
sages were sent from one place to
another by means of fire, the words
being spelled out letter by letter.
The letters of the alphabet were ar
ranged in five columns, so that any
letter could be designated by stating
in what column it was contained and
its number in that column. To convey
this information to a distance two
men, each having five torches, were
stationed behind two barbados; the
first, by holding up the necessary num-
Der of torches, indicated the number
of the column that contained the let
ter he was sending, and the second in
dicated similarly the actual numerical
place of the letter In that column. It
is evident that by series of stations
messages of any length could have
been sent-say from Rome to Athens.

Sources Of Folk Songs.

Because of the harmony of its Ian
guage and the beauty of its natural
associations, Italy is pre-eminently
the land Of poetical and musical COM
positions, says Raoul S. Bonanza in
Christian Science Monitor. To write
and sing sonnets appropriate to every
event is among the instincts Of the
masses.
Two forms of folk songs are to be
distinguished One spontaneous and
plebeian in origin, the other more lit
erary and less spontaneous. The
first can be traced in Italy to the very
source CT the language, the second is
not older than three or four centuries.
Sicily is considered the source from
which all poetry, natural or cultivated,
sprang and passed into the rest of
italy. It's songs, through assimilation,
became essentially and commonly Ital-
ian, although to become such they had
to lose their original dlalectical form.
