School Notes

Friday noon dance hour, held at the
high school each week for the students
actually coming off without a great
question as to what to use for music
During this last week, Mr.. Edmund
Anderson has installed a device fol
simplifying victrola music. This equip
ment is every expensive and Mr.. An
derson deserves the applause of the
students for making it possible to dance
to regular orchestra music and to the
latest of records.
Alumni will probably remember the
negotiations restorted to in their school
days, to first, get the piano moved
down to the gymnasium, and second
to find some one to play it. Also, it
has been quite handicap at parties
give up their fun and play the piano
for the rest of the crowd.
Of course, the victrola music is only
an experiment, but if the equipment
is we'll cared for by the students, rec
ords are supplied and cared for, and
the room seems suitable to the sound
of the amplifier, it appears as though
it should be a successful experiment
The first Student Body meeting of
the year took place Friday, September
%. with President Bill Shelledy pre-
siding.
The secretary, Marguerite Penn, read
the minutes of the final meeting of
last year, followed by report from
the treasurer, Doris Holecek as to the
financial condition of the Student
Body. 1t was found that there were
several unpaid bills from last year,
and not enough money remaining in
the treasury to cover them. 1t was
agreed that an all-school play be given,
in the near future, and the proceeds
Mr.. Nelson volunteered to pay the bills
until the Student Body would be able
to do so, and his offer was accepted.
A suggestion that a party be given
each month, excluding January, the
month of examinations, was greeted
WIN nuCN enthusiasm.
The rules for the annual initiation
of Freshies were read by Charles Good
ner of the Sophomore class. The Cruel
ing starts Wednesday morning and
terminates with the usual Freshman
party Friday evening.
Tentative plans were laid for Stu
dent Body Constitution. Although the
school is ten years old it has never
formed a constitution. The students
group feels that such document would
abolish the haphazard way of voting,
establishing definite principles and
otherwise aid in the smoother running
of student affairs. A committee will
be appointed by the faculty to look
further into the matter
Several members of the Student
Body evinced interest in Glee Club
and Debate Team. Nothing definite
was decided about either matter but
perhaps audiences in the future will
be entertained by the high school local
talent in these respects.
1t was voted to send Mr.. Anderson
a note of appreciation for the phono-
graph amplifer which he installed the
previous week. The motion was passed
The meeting was adjourned 1t is
hoped that the remaining meetings
will prove as interesting and will run
as smoothly as this one did.
Schools To Have News Column.
The offer has been made to the stu
dents of the High School by Mr.
O'Larey, of a column in the White
Bluffs Spokesman for school news. The
students appreciate this opportunity
very much as they yet are too small
an organization to put out their own
paper. 1t was agreed to allow the ia
Guilty to select a staff which would
probably consist of a reporter from
each class and an Editor in Chief A
news writing contest was held in each
English class and the staff was to be
selected on the basis of the ability
shown in writing up their article An
account of the Student Body meeting
was the topic assigned to all and the
above description is the product of
Helen Wheeler, who was selected as
the new Editor in Chief Her staff will
be as follows Senior reporter, Louise
Shinn; Junior reporter, Jane Renting
er; Sophomore reporter, Charles Good
ner; Freshman reporter, Ruth How
