Speaker Friday Morning
A very Interesting talk was given
Friday morning, the fifth period, by
Mr.. Guy W. Green, noted speaker and
.aurnalist from Kansas City. Mr..
Gree was introduced by Rev. Linn
who s.sted that Mr.. Green had, in
the last twelve months spoken in
nine different Safes.
The subject upen which he spoke
was, Take Long Look Ahead" Mr..
Green gave number OF examples OF
people in order to bring out more
clearly what he meant. enc, espe-
cially noteworthy, was about Harry
Thornton, who in college changed the
duties of center" or snapperback" IN
football. When Thornton was offer
ed job of coach, he accepted. The
next year he declined the offer and
took a position with the Burlington
Railroad at a very small salary and
later became head of all transporta-
ton in Europe during the war. He is
now president of the largest single
railway system in the world, the
Canadian National Railways.
Mr.. Green will speak again this
Friday. We are looking forward to
his talk.
The debate tryouts which were to be
held Friday morning during assembly
hour were postponed until future
date.
Initiation
Wednesday came all to fast for the
"Sophs." The provincial gauntlet
was run with considerable speed on
the part of the "Sophs Boys" Sop
homore girls featured new style
hosiery in the afternoon. They were
required to wear different colored
stockings. The committee in charge
of the inside program showed consid-
cradle cleverness in providing the
assembly stunts. Even the "sopho-
mores" enjoyed them. Brightly col
homores, these were worn until Fri
day noon. Sophomores must treat
all upperclassmen as such by address
ing them as Mr.. or Miss, whichever
the case may be; and by bowling
gracefully at the hips.
Girl Scout Party
The first social event this year was
the Girl Scouts party. Troup l and
2 met in the spring primary room.
Eckoe Macs and Jean Beckstrand
gave short talks on the keynote of
Girl Scouting. Among other novelty
features was a five-minute "get-ac-
quainted" period. This proved to be
quite the thing as there were several
new girls present. After playing a
number of games, refreshments were
served.
