Chapel Behavior
Chapel is supposed to be a place
where we conduct ourselves as high
school students and gentlemen.

responsible. If we show ourselves in
lterested-or at least attentive, he is
encouraged and his best efforts will
be brought forth. If on the other
hand the speaker sees from our ac-

part you have in making chapel a
success? You may be sure if you do
your part in chapel and try to make

will be justified in giving their best
efforts in its behalf.

The Barnesvil1e High "Mercur-
Edison gives these questions, as
they have it: IF you can answer
them all, you'll soon be holding Mr..
Thomas Edison's position. If you
can answer three-fourths of them,
