He had an impression that she was

startled to find that the whole tone
and key of the night had vaguely
changed.
''The north wind" Bill said simply.
Virginia's eyes grew wide.

breathlessly.

cried the inaudible voice of his soul
"Oh, Virginia. love you, I love

It was one of Bill Bronson's basic
creeds to look his situation square

avoid a truth that ever grew clearer
and more manifest-his love for Vir-

edge from himself, at least he could

ChoirhTusic.

For the past three years it has been
the custom to have a chorus, namely, the
Thursday Night Chorus, for the purpose
of singing in churches, and point credit
was offered for the work. The Baptist
choir seemed to be the strongest and
many people came from other churches
to sing there. Naturally the feeling was
aroused that the Baptists were trying
to entice other young people away from
their own churches. This year the idea
is to stress the point that Il pupil be
longing to the Thursday Night Chorus
may sing in any church and still receive
his point. This year the choir will re-
hearse twice Il week. one rehearsal oc-
curing every Wednesday morning the
first period.

School Never Together as a Whole.

Pupils of B. II. S, the upper class
men especially, must remember the many
interesting and entertaining assemblies
of last year.
This year because of the crowded con
ditiOn of the school one class must stay
out of assembly each time, which means
that one class will miss every fourth
assembly.
The assembly period is the only time
when the whole school is together, but
with one class out there will never be a
time perhaps when the pupils of B. II. ).
will be together as a body.
VIII the school spirit lessen? 1t seems
as though it would, because the school
will be a large assembly of different
groups. and with friction and opposition
which is sure to come will the students IN

of which they are loyal members and
boosters. or will the freshmen picture a
large gathering made up of several differ
ent groups all working against each
other?
