SCHOOL NOTES
Hi-Y Initiation

The M. & M. club afforded its
incoming members an initiation
that served quite we'll to inaugurate
their acceptance to the Hi-Y organ
ization. The first part of the mi
tiation ceremony was the reading
of an impressive ritual before a
lighted cross, by the officers Of the
club This ceremony was of SOL
emn nature and was presented this
year in the best manner that it has
ever been. Each new member was
told the rules of the organization
and what duties were expected of
him. The latter part of the initia-
ton, under the able supervision of
Bill Whitaker, was a typical initia-
ton celebration, with the so-called
tenderfeet forced to bear certain in
dignities. However a great time
prevailed, and the halls of "Mt.
Airy" rang with shouts of laughter,
especially when the statue of the
Goddess of Peace Ca volley ball)
was embraced by the initiated mem
bers. Following the main show,
volley ball teams were chosen, and
the remainder of the evening was
spent in pushing the volley ball
about.
It's Becoming a Habit
The local loop hitters were again
humbled last Friday by the Crooks
vile teams. The home town boys
have dropped the last four contests
in the league, and the indignity is
most appalling to the players. The
tale of the evening follows: First,
the Little Reds were led to
slaughter and were outclassed from
the start. The Crooksville sextet
scored at will, and completely sub
jugated their endeavoring visitors.
The result was never in doubt The
final score was 33 to IL.
The story of the "Big Reds"
game was entirely different The
boys went into the game with de-
termination to win, and displayed
the best basketball of the year. The
valiant Crooksville team, at the
peak of their ability, gradually
forged ahead in the final act, to win
the game 80 to 28 The contest
was close throughout, with the lead
see-sawing from one side to the
other, and was delight to watch
While the Marquisites were defeat
ed, they should be congratulated on
their efforts. as they time and again
'tfoxed" their opponents and drop |
ped in easy sucker shots. Capt |
Nelson and Carr of Crooksville each |
tailed Is counters, while the locals
scoring was well divided. This |
week, New Concord invades the Mt |
Airy domain and closes the season
for the "Big Reds This contest I
marks the termination of the !
careers of Whitehouse, Grouse, Cal
land and Baker, and the Malconta !
prides, are all popped up to win
the final fling A victory is pre-
dicted by close followers. The

LUNCHEON ON SATURDAY TO
 BE A SUCCESS
Many Reservations Made
 for Mother-Daughter Get Together

With plans of committees in charge virtually mplete, the Mother Daughter Luncheon, Sched- uled for Saturday under the aus pices of the Juneau Womar's Club, bids fair to be an outstanding event of the winter social calendar. The reservation committee, headed by Mrs. A. M. Geyer, reports a most gratifying response among mothers of high school and eighth grade girls who plan to be present with their daughters. This committee has made an effort to reach every mother, but as many have no tele- phones it is possible that some few may have been missed. The com mittee urges all mothers whom they have not been able to reach to communicate with it as soon as possible in order that the reserva- tions may be completed today or early tomorrow.
 The reservation committee also reports that there are fewer re- quests for mother for the day" this year, than there were two years ago, as most of the girls will be accompanied by their own moth CTS this year. Last year forty-six women were called on to act in

IN TITLE ROLE OF
 LILLY TURNER
Brilliant Actress Plays Part
 of Carnival Come On in Capitol Feature

Following her brilliant success in Frisco Jenny" which movie fans by their enthusiastic attendance proved that was the type of role they'd like to see Ruth Chatterton in, the First National studio again cast her in a down-to-earth role. This time she appears in the title role of Lilly Turner" which is playing at the Capitol Theatre to- night.
 In Lilly Turner" Miss Chatter ton has even eclipsed her extra ordinary fine work in Frisco Jen- ny"
 Lilly Turner" which has been adapted to the screen from the New York stage success, is story of a beautiful girl, whose beauty and figure are used as "come-on" for yokels, by the owner of a trav- cling health exhibit, which she joins after hard checkered career.
 Playing the title role, Chatterton, who amazed Hollywood by actually doing a "cooch' dance in tights in- stead of using a double, in the pie ture, is said to give a sublime char acterization with her dramatic pow CT, rising to great heights.
 George Brent, for the first time since his marriage to Ruth Chat terton, appears with her in the same picture as the health exhib- it's strong man. They had both appeared together in 1.-The Crash" but that picture has been made be- fore their marriage.
 Guy Kibbee, last seen in "42nd Street. is cast as Dr. McGill, the owner of the travelling health ex- hibit, while Frank McHugh plays the role of Lilly Turner's drunken husband.
 All told there are eleven splen- did players who appear opposite Chatterton. These include Ruth Donnelly, Gordon Wescott, Grant Mitchell, and Mae Busch.
