RE|NHARDT
BY international News Service

BY International News Service
VIENNA, April Ill Americans
have a real longing for beauty and
art, which, supported by their ma
teria1 wealth, offers a hitherto I'M
known opportunity to all artists"
This statement was made here to.
day by Max Reinhardt, Austrian
inpresario, who has just returned
from the United States. He con-
tinued:
"America Is the ideal country
for active artists. If were ten
years younger / would not hesitate
to make the United States my per-
manent home.
"Of course, special conditions and
needs have found their special ex-
preston in American art. Accord
ing to my opinion, architecture
and the dance are the two most
characteristic forms of art in
America. American architecture is
naive, grandiOse and new American
dancing Is rather spOrtive, but
rhythmical and unique.
Dancing has been reformed and
democraticized in America. Every
body loves dancing, and they dance
as naturally and as devoutedly as
Europeans play the piano or other
musical instruments. 1 am tempted
to say that Americans are primarily
seeking art through their feet.
II am going back. to the United
States next year when I will lecture
at Columbia University. 1 shall
direct series Of new plays and
probably supervise the production of
a new film-if I find the right
scenario.

SENIORS SPONSOR
CHRISTMAS PARTY
Annual Party Attended by a Large
Crowd on December Goth

The annual Christmas party, giver
by the Senior class Thursday evening
was decided success. A large crowd
OF young folks and members of the
faculty attended and spent an enjoy
able evening playing cards and dane
ing. Matt" Woodrow, Sadie" Flem-
ing and Orville Viers furnished the
music for the dancers.
The gym was beautifully decorated
with lighted Christmas trees and
couches, covered with gaily colored
robes and pillows. Christmas bells,
colorful floor lamps, confetti and a
fireplace added a great deal to MAX
ing the scene lasting and impressing
one.
This is the last party which will
be given at the high school by the
Seniors of '29, and we are glad we
were able to give such a party as this
one; and we hope that the other elias
ses will be as successful as we have
been in making the social life of the
school more enjoyable.-R. L.

FRESHMEN DEBATE BEFORE
ASSEMBLY

The Freshman Debating Squad pre-
scented its initial debate of the yea
before the school on Monday, Decem
Der II. The question was: Resolved
That the Joint Governments of tn,
United States AMI Canada Shoalc
Improve the st. Lawrence River fol
Power and Navigation Purposes Be
tween Lake Ontario and Montreal
This is topic which is discussed
holly in Congress and is also one that
has demanded the serious attention
of our last three presidents. In the
Hoover-Smith campaign the question
appeared again and agin, and Mr..
Coolidge included it in his last mes
sage to Congress.
The debate was interesting, and the
debaters all did very well, considering
their inexperience. Inez Bartoy and
Bill Giltner upheld the affirmative,
while Anna Freeman and Alvin ORA
per argued for the negative. Evelyn
Weydt served as chairman. The three
Judges rendered a unanimous decis-
ion in favor of the affirmative.

Storms That Reverse.

The weather bureau says that the
belief that storms reverse with eoua,
severity is true of the typical cyclone
of the tropics, such as the hurricane
of the West Indies and the typhoon
of the China sea. These storms con
sist Of more or less circularly rotat-
ing winds about practically calm
center. Hence, when such a storm
passes centrally over a given place.
that place experiences strong TO VIC
lent winds in the opposite direction
from those of an hour previous. This
statement is true also Of the tornado.
though in this case the duration is
very much less, often only minute
or two. But it is not true of other
storms, such as the widespread rain
or snow storm OF middle ATTITUDES.

Velvet, Metal and Satin
Are Popular This Season

Fashion may seem inclined at first
glance to say it with velvet for dressy
winter apparel, but instead embraces
trio Of fabrics, including with vel.
vets of all kinds, satin and metal
Weaves.
1t is little short of repetition to en-
phasize the fashion significance of vel
vet, but so many of the early SHOW
lngs have been exhibitions of velvet
and velvet and crepe combined, that
whether printed or plain, ii stands
out amazingly.
The satin weaves are inexpressably
smart, and there are many designs
in frocks that cannot be executed by
any other fabric as successfully as
The clinging texture of satin. There
fore, satins may be said to hold sec
ond place in style Importance, The
foresighted woman will choose some
fr0cks in velvet, others in satin, per-
haps one in canton crepe, and then
add a little CLEAN to her apparel by
choosing garment with metal
weave.
Sheer weaves are Illuminated with
gold threads. Other novelties are a
beautiful combination of gold and soft
colors in diminutive designs.

A REPLY TO THE SENIORS

Recently the seniors acquired that
know it all' attitude, and they
think that it will be impossible for
the school to get along without
them. This idea may or may not be
true. 1t probably is not. Each
year the school succeeds in establish
ing some new goal and without the
help of the past years seniors. That
9o9y OF upper classmen should re-
member the above statement. Fresh
men may be green, but they have
craftsmanship. When we are able
to stand on our own feet, it is a sure
sign that we are improving in both
our conduct and our loyalty. We are
proud of our assembly, our class team
and our debating squads. Our many
"unfreshmanlike accomplishments
warrant that we are not green, but
are able to hold our own intellectual
and athletic fields.-A Freshman in
answer to the Seniors attack.
