Alma High
School Notes

Owing 10 the fact that many Of the
lebates i'm the northern section Of the
tate were delayed by the recent
torn, no report on the results Of the
preliminary debates has been received
Oy the debating team as yet. A letter
from the state manager Of the De-
batting League stated that il would
probably he another week or so before
he final series will be begun. The
Ieam, however, is keeping in readi-
ness.
In the Friday chapel period the
Girls Glee Club performed a few
tunts on their wind pipes for the
ssembly. They started their program
With couple of en- masse numbers
Which were very well rendered indeed.
Next in sequence, Marion Grover sang
ID contralto solo. After she had an
lounced i'm an encore number that Il
I'M Irish too" Hope Winslow and
IAella Sanderhoff played a much ap-
lreciated piano duet. TO climax
things, Lois Smith gave two soprano
solos.
To the great disappointment of ev-
eryonc, excepting the members them
selves, the Boys cilee Club failed to
EXECUTE their program, as was eX-
'ected. The program, however, was
uccess in spite Of this fact and Miss
,mmel must be given much credit
OF the training of the voices.
Friday evening the Sophomores
n-rsorea one of the best parties of
lay car II was q success in every
y. The music was excellent and
tle crowd was the second largest so
II. Not only was the crowd large
Dut in excellent humor Everyone,
,om the most dignitied faculty chap
rome TO the greenest little Freshman
eemed to be having a fine time. The
arty was far from formal and no
ne felt at all out Of place Probably
,he most popular feature Of the party
was the punch-that is, while it lasted,
for it didn't last very long after the
Frosh found out that the pink stuff
n the big bowl was 20 drink and
wasn't goldfish aquarium. The
'arty was the first that the now Frosh
Tho entered this semester have at
nded and il was a very representa-
We and fine initiation to Alma Highs
,ocial activity.
Speaking Of Freshmen, the warn
ings TO the FrOsh not 10 wear green
on St Patrick's day have been Dosted.
OF course, it is expected that every
Freshman will appear gaudily decked
with some shade of the symbolic class
color and Of course it is expected that
he will be duly bounced upon and re-
lievcd Of all articles having the slight
est suggestion Of emerald. If things
didn't work out inst that way the day
would be complete disappointment
TO every Almaite. The upper classes
each year warn the first year children
that they care green enough" and
that no display of the colo, will be
tolerated. The Frosh accept the chal-
lcnge and little domestic trouble
ensues. It's mild sport, tho, and no
one is killed
The chorus has begun work on its
spring cantata, under the direction Of
Miss Emmel, head Of the music de-
partment. The cantata chosen is an
arrangement Of some Of the simpler
choruses from Gounod's famous opera
Faust" With This cantata several
other songs VIII be combined to form
the entire program. "To Greet the
Spring" and several other Spring
songs will be used.
Last week Miss Mckenzie was hos
tess at a party for her French
pupils. The evening was passed with
several games and much conversation
or gossip or whatever you wish to call
1t. Refreshments were served to eli
max the delightful evening.
