Central DebaterS
Look FORWARD to
Outside Clashes

True to predictions which were
made early in the year, Central is
developing some of the best debaters
that have appeared in years. and is
now making final arrangements for
several interscholastic debates.
1t was thought that the apparent
lack Of enthusiasm in debate, which
is to all appearances current in the
schools of the District, was caused by
lack Of competition and publicity.
With these things in mind, the work
of the debating society has been to
arrange debates with outside schools
and to give those in the debating more
publicity, which was made possible
by the courtesy and cooperation OF.
the Bulletin staff.
A new scheme to bring forth the
Gebaters of the school has been
evolved, which works as follows: The
English teachers recommend those
pupils who they believe are talented
N the art Of self-expression. These
Lupils are then entered in the inter-
scholastic preliminaries in groups of
fifteen, with a faculty adviser for
each group. The highest in the pre-
liminaries are then entered in the
semi-finals, and are then allowed to
compete for places on the inter.
scholastic teams.
There have been over 1870 names sub.
n,ifted fhne for opd 1en ~ fl,a,o 49,,
expected to participate, several having
been forced to drop out because Of
heavy class work.
Only up.to-the-minute subjects are
being debated. and the whole school,
as we'll as the debaters, look upon
these tryouts as being enjoyable and
beneficial.

successful and proved hit with
all who were fortunate enough to
see it's production.
The cast included several who
have previously proved their abili-

whom the Elevator" brought to

while Myers made an impression
in his initial appearance. Among
the feminine roles, Miss Wells,

ter to Edna Burrows, editor Of
1.-The Fastener"
Dear Miss Burrows:
May congratulate you on the
appearance Of the initial number
Of the new volume Of The Fastener.
1t seems to me that you have dis.
covered the essence OF the matter
of a lively school paper; namely,
the greatest number OF items and
articles Of school interest, conform.
ing to good judgement, between the
covers of a single issue. The first
fall number Of The Fastener sue.
cessfully illustrates this principle in
presenting. aside from the advertise
ments, a large number Of items, in
Guiding articles, verses, locals, per-
sonals, jokes and squibs, with the
desirable resultant factor of a
greater number of readers directly
or indirectly interested. In other
words, the more "all.inclusive" items
printed, the more readers vitality in
terested, and, therefore. the more in
teresting and the more valuable your
paper.
Sincerely yours,

E. III. S. HONOR SYSTEM
REWARDS GOOD SPIRIT
Every Year Deserving Students
Are Recognized for Their
Efforts to Help School.
BY MARGERY BLACK.

We have an honor system at
Eastern. which we think is very
fine. For the benefit OF those
who know nothing about II, this
brief explanation Is made. There
are three kinds OF honors. semes-
ter. year and graduating. Each
kind has two classes. first and
second honors. First honors con-
sist of 75 per cent Els and 20
per cent G's; second honors of
80 per cent Els and 80 percent
G's. Department, music and draw
ing and physical training must be
satisfactory. First honors for the
year are awarded to those who
have had first honors in both
semesters; second honors for the
year are given to those who have
had honors less than first In both
semesters. Graduating honors are
on the same basis: first honors ito
those who have received first
honors during four years; second
honors to those who have had
honors every year, but have failed
to have first honors in all four
years. =.
AS a reward for year honors,
medals are given; a bronze medal
for one year Of first honors; a
silver medal for two years Of first
honors; a gold-plated medal for
three years; and a solid gold medal
for four years. The faculty also
awards medals to those who de-
serve recognition for especially
faithful and earnest service to
the school.
The names of those who received
honors in June will be posted on
the bulletin board in the second
floor corridor. Medals were award
ed to the following in June. 1921:

Being very young and attending
school regularly. had no idea Of
leaving my small village, but when
four or five years had passed,
made up my mind to leave my vii
lage and to try a strange town or
province to see how things were
going on. I did not think of taking
a long trip into foreign countries
because I had heard many OF my
friends who were in America say
that II anybody came over to this
country. he had to work very hard,
and without knowing the language
and without having any friends. the
life was very hard.
So being discouraged at this in.
formation decided to go to the
capital Of my country. Athens, to
learn some kind of trade. I left my
village and I began to work immed-
lately at the trade Of carpenter. After
had worked there for a year and a
half L began to be dissatisfied with
that trade because L could not see
a promising future. During that
period had received many letters
from my relatives and friends tell
ing me that conditions were gradu-
ely getting better in America, and
that IL was not satisfied with the
position occupied it would be
much better for me to come to Amer
lea.

The Washington High Schools

glorious record and wide renown. An
ideal cadet system should enable us
to provide trained defenders Of our
country in an emergency, and by
this means obviate a large standing
army. 1t should be organized with
such a purpose that It could be-
come nationwide for every high
school boy.
America needs leaders as never
before. She needs citizens who,
while they have learned obedience
to order and the law, yet have
learned to think for themselves,
who have a sense of civic and per-
sonal responsibility in public AZ.
fairs, and who know and appreciate
the fact that they should elect per-
sons as leaders solely because Of
their fitness for the position,
II our cadet system gives us this
result, 1t does well. II in addition
thereto, 1t gives us boys with strong
healthy bodies. a fine outstanding
carriage a clean mind, respect

STRIVE TO-
REPEAT
Arrival Of Uniforms Gets Men
Down to the Real Work Of
Drilling for Big Day.

THE Eastern cadet companies
have settled down to serious,
hard work. There are still
several vacancies in the ranks,
however. Besides loyalty to the
school, the lower price Of uniforms,
the now equipment, and chances to
win a medal, should be inducements
enough for any boy who is able
to enlist in the corps.
The commissioned officers Of the
brigade now meet every first Wed,
nesday, and those of the Third Rcgi-
ment. every fourth Wednesday at
the Franklin School. At these meet.
ings questions and problems which
have arisen since the last meeting
are discussed. Plans are now being
made for the annual Brigade dance.
Lieutenant Colonel Anadale IL also
planning to have regimcntal
dance some time in the near. future.
UNIFORMS SNAPPY.
With the coming Of the unifcrms,
a greater interest is taken In the
drill. All cadets, and especially the
new men, have been urged to wear
their uniforms as often as possible.
There have been several changes
in the uniform and equipment OF the
cadets this year. The officers now
wear black Sam Brown belts. Collar
insignia have been authorized, con-
sisting of crossed rifles. with the
numbers of the regiment and the
letter Of the company. As soon as
a Government survey Of our old
equipment has been completed, new
sabers and new model Springfield
rifles will be issued. The latter are
a great improvement over the obso.
lete Krag rifles we have been using.
The new rifle not only makes a bet
ter appearance, but is also shorter
and lighter, and. therefore. easier to
handle. .-. .. .-...- ....
sergeants Fowler of Company +,
and Goodman Of Company G. have
been appointed regimental color ser
geant and battalion sergeant.msjor
respectively. However, they will.
drill with their companies ar all
times except at ceremonies. Doctor

WAR GAMES SOON. .';s.s
The official war games start in
a short time. Although few people
at Eastern, with the exception of
those engaged, take much interest
In these matches, they are well
worth watching; and the arm in.
sigma that go to the winners are
well worth winning. AS it is under
stood that spectators will be allowed
at some Of these games, we shall
probably be given an opportunity TO
see some OF, our budding military
geniuses in action. -.,.,..
