There will be several good numbers
between acts, among them-Amos and
Andy in person
The English v class is compiling a
repertoire of ten numbers which can
be read on various occasions.
The repertoire is to include a ten
minute reading, a one-act play which
has been cut for reading. and two
poems. 1t must also contain an or
iginal reading. We are looking for
some very valuable material to be
ready for use.
The membership Of the band this
year, has been limited to school stu
dents only. This was done with the
idea in mind of making it distinctly
a school activity. This policy tends to
create more pride in the organiza-
ton, and also school spirit.
Four new members have been
taken into the band to date, this year,
Sanford Egge, slide trombone; Nor
val Highland, alto; Fred Michaels,
slide trombone; and Helen Larson,
c melody saxaphone. Three others
are preparing for membership. They
are, Charles Grave, Cornet; Char
lotte Bennett, c%ornet; and Clarence
HOLMAN, alto.
The Instrumentation is fairly well
balanced. However, we could use two
flutes, another dornet and another
bass to advantage.
Let's boost for a bigger band.
The Senior Class are looking for
ward TO their party March the 7th.
All are to come dressed as movie
stars. "The Treasure Hunt" will be
the feature of the evening. They
hope 10 find the school key at this
time also.
The Sewing Glass have received doll
patterns free of charge from the
Butterick Educational Service. These
pattern are a great help in learning
the use of patterns.
Lady Frances" a one-act operetta
to be given at the Musical Lyceum is
we'll under way. Practice begins
this week on the other two features
"nhe Wedding Of the Painted Doll
and water Fantasies"

Boquets

bOQuetS
We often have seen bouuets given
people after they are dead when the
recipient knows nothing of it. On
such occasions WI usually think of it,
wondering why more boquets are not
given in life.
BOquets are various kinds. True
ones consist fn favorable comment
which is sincere and appreciative.
Gifts are such q small significance to
be almost negligible in the course Of
human action
There is not an hour in the day
when n can't throw boquets on the
path Of life, where someone will go,
happier because Of the fragrance and
beauty of his journey. In this day
and age there is so much lack of ap-
probation and courtesy. Life would
be much sweeter, there would
be less suicide and tears if people
were generous in the comments.
In school life we can see the APP
plication clearly. Teachers are SER
wants in our community and perhaps
get less favorable comment from pu-
pills and patrons than any other pub
lie worker. Their work is unnoticed
except when it is startling from eth
er a negative OF positive standpoint.
Pupils can show appreciation by CO.
operation and submitting to the bet
ter judgement of their %superiors.
Parents car insist on cooperation
with teachers rather than accepting
a child opinion of the various phases
of school life. Parents cannot show
no better appreciation than support
ing school functions which are the re-
suits Of hours of work by students
and teachers.
A small but enthusiastic audience
attended the presentation of June
Time" on Friday evening, February
%. The play was presented with
good Interpretation on the part Of all
the members of the cast. Gwendolyn
Christensen in the role of Mrs. Oh
liver Cromwell Brown was by far the
biggest hit" Of the evening. Her in
~personation of a spoiled and pam
PEELED wife was excellent. The other
parts did not call for such extreme
Characterization but all were exceed.

INTLNDS Ell INC COMMISSIONER
 OF EDU'ATION

JUNEAU, Jan. 4, R)-W. X Keller. who for seven years has been a superintendent of public schools. the last two years being at Fairbanks, announced his inten- ticn of filing his candidacy for Territorial Commissioner of Edu- cation, the position now held by L. W. Breuer, formerly of Nome. MT. Keller states that he will run as an independent, declining to run as a party candidate on account of the position which that constituency would throw the Alaskan shool system into. AS an independent it will not be nee essary for him to run the gaunt- let of the April Primaries and he will not have to enter the cam paign until next summer.
 Keller has been connected with Alaskan schools and systems long CT than any other superintendent of city schools. He graduated from Washington State College at Pullman with the degree of Bach elor of Arts and later took the degree of Master of Arts there. He has done considerable work on a Doctors degree at Columbia Uni versity in New York.

Mart Confidence Is Hit By
False Run1ors and Tips

by the score, defalcationS ana
bankruptcies Of big commission
houses, receiverShips for pron1f
'ment industrial concerns and .
host Of other calamities calculated
to plunge the whole country over
an abyss Of ruin.
A good many Of the rumors
hinge directly around the ability
Of certain corporations to con-
tinue paying their dividends and
the probability Of passing or TO
ducing cash payments to stock
holders. This Is Q logical source
Of real concern to investment
holders Of important stocks who
frequently form haSty conclusions
as the result Of occasional sharp
dips in the prices Of their stocks.
New Basis for RumOrs
Reliable information of this
character Is Of value both to
present holders Of stock and to
those who contemplate purchaS-
ing additional shares. Develop
ments of the past few weeks,
however, have shown that at
least one-haf of the rumors Of
this character have been without
foundation and that the official
financial reports and statements
issued by corporation boards have
shown q much more favorable
condition than was indicated In
irresponsible quarters.
AS q rule the stock tape is .
fairly accurate guide to dividend
performances and prospects for
corporations whose stocks are
widely distributed among invest
ors. The logical conclusion Of q
decline in prcies Of stocks to a
level which promises from 8 to
is per cent income yield is that
o dividend is in danger Of either
being suspended entirely or Of
being reduced. Dividends depend
directly upon corporation earn
ingS, and while some corporations
have employed their surplus
funds to pay unearned dividends
over q period Of temporary de-
preston, 1t is recognized that
company cannot continue indefi-
nitely paying out its cash urless
net income considerably exceeds
the dividend rates.
