DEPARTMENTS.
(Leila Bell, School Editor.)

we were pICdSdIItly SlIA p ioNN Va
Friday morning by visit from two
of our board members, DR.. Lamar
and Mr.. Hatcher. 1t is always a
pleasure to the whole school to have
with us, at any time, members OF the
school board, for we see how inter-
ested they are in the welfare OF the
school Nearly every grade was Wis
tied bv them, and we hope they were
pleased with the Rotations which
were heard. The board has recently
given to our domestic science depart
ment a new sewing machine, and it
is appreciated very much by Miss
Remson and her sewing classes.
MOCK SESSION OF CONGRESS.
(By Martha Jones)
Much interest has been manifested
in the senior civics class for the past
week. After having studied about
congress, the president, his cabinet,
the different executive officers and
their duties. under the direction Of
our teacher, Miss Fletcher, we are
now enacting in class the whole OF
each department of government-leg-
islative. executive judicial.
Our class was divided into two par
ties, running two candidates each.
The republicans won by a small ma
iority, S. F. Sullivan being the sue
cessful candidate. The cabinet, the
chief Justice and all the higher Off
Gals were appointed; the representa-
tives and senator's have taken their
places and congress is now III session.
A bill was introduced but after much
discussion and debating, pro and con,
it was not passed.
At present a new amendment IS be-
ing discussed. Each member OF the
class has been greatly benefited by
this mock congress, and IS becoming
more familiar with the political al
fairs OF the United States.
MOCK FACULTY MEETING.
A most Interesting program was
given on Friday afternoon by the
bows and girls literary societies. 1t
was the last program OF the year and
by far the best ever given. Both So
cieties united in an effort to make the
whole school enjoy it and they sue
ceeded most admirably. The first
number on the program was mock
faculty meeting. This number was es-
pecially good, and each pupil who inn
personated teacher had his part
learned well. Those taking part in 1t
were as follows: Mr.. Monts, Levi
Hoyl; Mr. Cheves, Clarence Thorn
ton; Miss Mckenzie, Katherine Rob
erts; Miss Fletcher, Martha Jones;
Miss McNulty, Bertha Brim; Ike,
Lamar Lockett. The characters were
dressed in the clothes OF the different
teachers, which were procured on the
sly. Mr.. Cheves and Mr.. Monts were
purposely called to one side, while
some pupils slipped their hats and
lunch baskets. All Of the little eccen-
tricities of the teachers, their pet ex-
pressions, their carriage, and even a
bit of their personalities were caught
by those who represented them, and
were, in turn, given to us and to them.
One teacher was heard to say:
"Well, | have always prayed that
prayer of "Bobbie" Burns:
20 wad some power the gift t gle us
To see ourselves as others see US
1t has come true at last! We gods!
I'll never pray it again"
The second number was given by
our Jazz orchestra, Gladys Moore,
Elizabeth Riordan, Julian Hicks,
Charles Wall and Ernine Lewis. Con-
tinued applause forced them TO play
several additional numbers.
Following this a catchy new song
was sung by Marvin Clay and An
drew Leverette. They were especially
good and responded with an encore.
The concluding number on the pro
gram was impromptu Several high
School students were called upon to
say speeches, dance and play. Each
responded and much applause was ac-
corded them.
Our literary societies have been I'M
usually good this year, and it is to
be hoped that the next school year
will find all still more enthusiastic
and more determined to make the So
ciety work really count
