HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS MAY
BUY CLASS RINGS HERE

Al the meeting of the senior class
heId yesterday a heated discussion
LOOK place as to whether the class
rings should be bought from a local
merchant or from one out of town.
Inc ring committee has cur
rings from many out-of-town ring
dealers and samples of rings from
local dealers. However, the COM
mlttee could not find any sample
from the local dealers which was
satisfactory to the members of the
class. The committee has submitted
TO the lass a number of rings, all of
which came from an out-of-town
source.
Yale Wilmer, one of the members
of the senior class, strenuously OBJ
Jected to the buying of the rings
from out-of-town merchants. Wilmer
claimed that since he had been adj
Vertlsing manager of the "Peris-
COPE the school publication, he
came in contact with local mer-
chants, many of whom expressed
their opinion of the senior classes
who for several years have bought
their rings from an out-of-town
dealer. In spite of this fact the rings
mad more than one fault, the speak
er, said, giving examples of this,
Wilmer also pointed out that at the
school plays and at the school dances
the students always get pieces of
furniture and decorations which
have been loaned by merchants of
Perth Amboy. Whenever tickets or
programs are to be printed, local
merchants give advertisements and
thus defray the expense of printing.
Practically all the advertisements in
the school paper are those of local
merchants.
Wilmer summarized the situation
and showed that it would be a great
injustice to the merchants of the
town if the senior class bought their
rings from an out-of-town merchant.
Action on the rings was then stopped
and local jewelers. will be consulted
as to designs, weight and prices of
rings. 1t is likely that the rings will
be bought in Perth Amboy,

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

THE Book Week. essay contest of
the junior class has closed, and the
two best essays in the class have
been picked. The contest which
was sponsored by the English teach
ers and by Miss Edna Oliver, the
school librarian, has created a
tense interest among the students
especially among those of the jun
ior class. The following is the
First Essay" of the class which has
been picked as the winner. 1t is
to be found posted on the school IL
brary bulletin board and will prob
ably appear in the "Periscope," the
school publication. The prize win
ner is d. Roseboro. The essay fol-
lows:
Books are SO common al the
present time that a person very sell
dom stops to think that the modern
convenience of magazines, newspa-
pers, and especially books are the
results of centuries of discoveries
n hard work by many men.
Thousands of years ago, mar
used to write on slabs of stone by
carving with a sharp instrument,
Later, papyour was invented from
the river reed. This was a tough,
pale, yellow sheet and was the fore
runner of modern paper. Ink was
first made from vegetable gum mix
ed with a little SCOT from the fire.
1t was far from being as seryiceable
as the modern bottle of ink.
For a long time every book was
printed by hand so each one was
of a great value to it's owner. This
tedious process prevented the pub
fishing of many books and raised
their price far above the reach of
the mass of people. This hindered
a better education for the poorer
class, and only the richest were able
to buy books. In those days there
were nc collections of books ex-
cept as an individual chose to make
a library.
But now this inconvenience has
been done away with to a large de-
gree by the introduction of public
Libraries, financed by the state oil
some beneficent individual. Every
person in the town should take
advantage of this great opportunity
to read some of the finest books
that have ever been written. Many
people would rather own the books
they read and this desire, together
with ignorance of the proper books
has led to a reading of poor litera-
ture in some cases. There are
enough trashy books and dime nov
els so we should buy and read only
the best, thus encouraging our best
authors to give us their best works.
Next week is "Book Week. and
I think that we should all make
q resolution henceforward only to
read the best books that we can
find"
