''the best worm-holes in all Italy"

you find out how tooth-brushes, sledge-

High School PLAY.

Be an optimist! Did you ever try
being one standing helplessly watch
ing your best friend making love to
your girl, standing wrapped up like
a mummy with every limb growing
stiff and cold-cold from colder cof-
fee? Would you smile if you heard
your girl telling all about your
planned elopement to someone else?
These things all happen to Jimmie
Maynard; yet Isaac, 'bisness'' man
who squeezes pennies until they yell,
tells him to be an optimist.
This may give you an idea of the
laughs you will find in the Askov
high school play, BE An Optimist,''
which will be presented at the D. B.
S. hall on Friday evening, May Is.
Everyone has been working hard on
rehearsals for the past four weeks.

ASKOV HIGH SCHOOL
NOTES
English III Glass Debate.

Resolved: That Red Neckties Are
More Appropriate Than Green Neck
ties at Parties. This was the in
teresting question which six members
of the English III class debated be-
fore the assembly Friday afternoon.
The affirmative, which was upheld by
Otto Jensen, Thorvald Andersen, and
Axel Andersen, won the debate.
Josephine Levins, Edna Sorensen, and
Anna Thomson upheld the negative
and gave very good defense for the
green neckties. The object of the
debate was to provide entertainment,
and it served its purpose very we'll.
This debate was one of the regular
assignments of the English III class.
This class has formulated a society
for the purpose of developing the
speaking abilities of its members.
Thursday, four of the students pre-
scented a debate on-Resolved: That
Physical Education in Our School
Should be Abolished. The affirmative
which was upheld by Opal Hansen
and Else Kilstofte, won the debate
Mabel Nedegaard and Elna Nielsen
gave very good defense of their side
and at the same time admitted that
physical education wasn't what it
should be. They advised that it
should be improved upon.
On Wednesday morning of last
week the students were greeted by a
radical change in the Assembly room.
The problem of our instructors seems
to have been in the control of the stu
dents i'm the back of the room. We'd
nesday it was solved! The instructors
desk, platform-all had been moved
to the back of the room. Woe be un-
to mischiveous students from now on!
Three short scenes have been acted
out by the sophomore class during
their English II class. The plays
proved to be very good, and all wished
for more. The scenes were taken
from the play, "As You Like It," by
Shakespeare.
The English class have also been
doing some acting. They have taken
part of the book, Ivanhoe, and
have presented it in play form. Sew
eral reports have been given on the
different parts of the story. Castles
have been constructed; they have
learned all about how to build castles
and how to capture one. Last Friday
the whole class was taken through
the ''Ivanhoe Art Gallery" with var
Gus members acting as guides. 1t is
being rumored that a tournament is
to be held,
