 English is required subject at the school and in this subject the boys have received excellent marks. There has been some diversification in the choice of foreign languages, Kelly taking Latin and Spanish, Hube specializing in Latin and French and Benson emulating Kelly by taking Latin and Spanish.
 All three candidates have taken mathematics, physics and two, Kelly and Benson, have specialized in chemistry. The other two subjects which have at times been on the program of the students are ancient history and general science.
 The boys have been equally prom inent in extra -curricular work and offices. Kelly is the president Of the Amphion Dramatic club and Hube is a prominent thespian in this or ganization. Kelly has received the Harvard Book prize, the only award to junior year students for excel lence in studies.
 Benson, the alternative for Kelly as a candidate for Annapolis, is president of the February graduat- ing class. while Hube was president of his class at graduation from the Central Junior high school, from which school the boys were graduat- ed. Hube is also an expert high school cornetist, member of the high school band and of the high school orchestra. Kelly is member of this years track squad.
 Kelly and Hube will be members of the June graduating class, while Benson will be graduated in Febru- ary.

MYSTERY THRILLER
 BY AMPHI0N CLUB
Senior High School Actors in
 "Cat Q Nine Tails"

The Amphion Dramatic club of the Senior High school will present "Cat O Nine Tails" this evening at 8 o'clock in the auditorium of the school. The play has to do with the crimes of an international crook who has fled from a murder in Paris to the backwoods of Maine. and his hiding place turns out to be near the cabin of a certain MT. Gordon. The action centers on this log cabin with thrills aplenty await ing the audience.
 High school dramatic followers will find several familiar faces as the leading thespians have all play ed in previous Amphion club pro- ductions. Richard Hube, who DOT trays Mr. Gordon, will be remem- bered for his realistic town mogul in the last production of the club. Robert Kelly, the halfwit in "Cat O. Nine Tails" also played hu- morous part in the clubs last play. Then there is Clifton Andrews, the son of MT. Gordon for this evening, who will be remembered for hls overfowing big business talk in the production presented last spring.
 For several years Mrs. Amy c. Guilford, the faculty coach and ad- wiser of the players had refused to permit the. Amphion club to put on a mystery because of the relatively few first rate mystery productions that can be obtained for high school production and the painstaking ef- fort that is required from the ac- tors in their parts.
 The cast of characters will be as follows:
 MT. Gordon ..... Richard Tube Jimmie, his son .. Clifton Andrews Jacob ....... Francis Petuskis Fox ........ Behrens Rossberg Henry .......... Robert Kelly Mrs. Gordon .... Marjorie Recor Betty ......,...... Anne Murphy Ted Maitland . . Marguerite Hubert Miss smith ......... lnez Calklrs Bridget ........ Mary Spencieri
 The play was written by Robert Worcester.

Variety in Menus and Recipes
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Partly because of this and partly be-
cause ingredients hitherto considered
incongruous are being combined in all
sorts of recipes, there is a growing tend
ency to be little lavish, not in guam
titles but in kinds.
The discriminating housewife and the
person with epicurean tastes is not cur
failing in variety, but she sees that the
table is varied rather than variety is
overemphaSiZed at any single meal.
heard of one meal recently where dis
elimination was left out and as many
as seven different kinds of fruit were
served at one meal, a number of them
coming during the same course.
In the matter of recipes a housewife
should be quick to try new ones that
appeal to her. She should be slow to
try them for the first time when en-
tertaining. The ingredients may ap-
parently be incompatible, but when
tried out the flavor may be found agree
able to her and to her family If SO,
she can serve the dish at some time
when there are guests and have the
satisfaction Of knowing it is good. One
such dish at a meal is enough, how
ever. Do not at any one meal tax the
appetite by many dishes that are
different"

Angry Children.

Even very young children show anger
If baby has anger spells look we'll to
his diet. Even though you are follow
ing the doctors directions faithfully
consult him about these spells. He
may be able to discover the cause.
Some babies are angry because they
are given bath. Fear, perhaps brought
on that anger. Deal gently with the
child. Speak to him gently. Battle
him carefully so as not to hurt him.
But go through with the process to the
end. If he discovers that anger will
check you you will be checked every
time he feels like exercising his power.
If there are any tight bands on a
child he is likely to be angry and fight.
Loosen all bands. make certain that no
part of his clothing Is pulling on him.
If he feels any restraining force any
where on his body he is likely to get
into a rage about it. We avoid the
cause of anger whenever possible.
That means, of course, that nobody
in his senses teaSeS a baby. If you
hold something before baby and he
reaches for it, give it to him. If you
offer it and then pull it out of his
reach Just TO see him rage, then you
are cruel, you are not being even sens
ible Anger is not good for baby'S
nervous system. RageS and tantrumS
are emotional stress and they are
likely, if repeated to form pattern Of
conduct very undesirable.
That is not to say that baby is to
have everything he reaches for. That
is quite out of the question. But no
body is to offer him anything only to
snatch it away Often this brings on
a tantrum and in some cases. the child
holds his breath until he is blue in the
face That calls for loose clothes, and
a face washing. Cool water on the
face and hands will check that. But
why bring 1t on If being careful will
prevent it.
Some children find it hard to control
their temperS than other children do.
Again we are careful to avoid the occa-
sion. Each exhibition of temper makes
the next one easier. Each successful
attempt at control helps the next one
succeed the sooner
