JUNIOR HIGH NOTES

The Junior High School Halloween
party, one of the best and s'peppiest''
parties ever given in our schools, took
place Tuesday afternoon, and began at
two-thirty sharp with big parade in
which COLLINS, fairies, witches, ghosts,
visitors from foreign lands, and all
kinds of indescribible costumed crea-
lures participated.
After the parade program was
given and none better could be wished
for. The faculty gave The Human Vic
trola, and great was the wonder there
of. The foot bali boys engaged in
pie eating contest and the way some of
them rushed the line in this respect
was marvellous to behold. Stevie made
the touchdown and thus came off the
hero. The orchestra played one or
two musical numbers, and others that
were not so harmonious. Miss Dow
was real clown, and danced the clown
dance, which was unusually we'll in
terpreted Miss Dwight read two or
three clever dialect selections, and two
or three of her pupils from the public
speaking classes gave-readings. A bas-
ket ball game played by the girls bas-
ket ball team proved how well a bushel
basket can be made to catch the losses
thrown for baskets. And oh, yes,
there was the cleverest boxing match
staged one could ever wish to see.
Charles Winding and his group of fans
at the ring-side cheered Justify for the
lightweight champion, Benny Leon
ard, who defeated his opponent after
three rounds. A toe classic by Ruth
Kochschmieder closed the program,
after which all descended to the cham
Der of horrors, which they had to pass
through in order to get to the refresh.
ments and to have the witches tell
their fortunes.
1t was indeed real party, and much
credit and a vote of thanks is due to
faculty, committees, and students who
| helped to make the party the success
that it surely proved to be.
A Merry Christmas to all is the
Junior Highs attitude towards the
Near East's Relief. During the after

that motto.

On Friday, October OF, some Of the
English classes celebrated Roosevelt's
birthday. Miss G. asked a seventh b
pupil who Roosevelt was. "Why, a
cowboy" was the answer.
The football team of the Junior High
School is source of honest pride to
every loyal student. The boys are
hard workers and clean players, and
have high ideals.
They played clean game last week
against a much heavier team, and,
though they lost, what of it? They
lost clearly and gamely, and without a
murmur.
There was a loyal crowd of rootess,
too, though il must be confessed that
they were mostly girls. What's the
matter, boys? Where is your "pep?"
Or perhaps yours is pip.
This week the team is going out to
win. Let's all go along ard boost.
