Club News

Mrs. Mackie's Handicraft Club
for girls is progressing great deal
this year. At the present time, the
girls are making wooden pocket
cooks from dish cloths. When
finished these make an attractive
accessory. Some time ago the
members of this club made little
cushions in the shape of teddy bears
in which to keep their pins, needles,
and thread. They also learned how
to block print, which is very helpful
IN decorating bureau scarfs, and
other things of this type.
The Crochet Club, which is under
the direction of Mrs. Woodward, has
accomplished a great deal. Almost
every girl has finished one collar and
some have made two of different
types. Most of the girls are work
ing on pocket-books, hats, chair sets,
or collars. Although this club meets

Report Cards

Report cards were given out sew
January and February. This time
there are total of 43 failures for
this period as against SO last report
period. There were 10 failures in
the Freshman class; Is failures in
the Sophomore class; 8 failures in
the Junior class; and 6 failures in
the Senior class. Several pupils who
had failures last month have with
drawn, so by this fact the results are
about the same. The great majority
of failures are in "Y" sections.
Each time when the bi-monthly re-
port cards are given out, Mr.. Zim-
norman writes to the parents of the
pupils who have failed in some sub
ject. In these letters he explains
the cause of the failures and the
Importance of improving in their
work. By these letters he hopes to
gain the cooperation of the parents
and the pupil and reduce the fail
ures. In some homes these letters
have brought results and the pupil
is improving in his class work.
1t is very important to pass all
the subjects if a student wishes to
be promoted to the next grade. Four
years of English are required for
graduation in our high school and a
new law has been made recently
which doesn't permit a pupil to take
two years of English in one year as
it had been possible heretofore. Also
to become full-ffedged Senior, a
Junior must pass the course given In
American history.

Sophomore Party

Last Wednesday a Sophomore
party was held in the auditorium.
Miss Hite, Mr.. Hovermill, Mr.. War
rem and Mrs. Mackie were in charge.
AS the children entered, each was
handed white slip of paper with
numbers from one to five. Each
slip had string in it, red, purple,
white, or yellow. The children with
slips of the same color were in teams
together. Five games were to be
played, and the members of the team
winning each game were to receive
check on their slip. The team re-
ceiving most checks was considered
the winner of the day.
The first game-like all the
others-was a race. The girls tied
the boys neckties (although we are
told that they were not all perfect
four-in-hands) and the winning
team, purple, had checks put on
their slips.
In the second race each team
lined up and small box was placed
on the nose of the leader. This box
had to be passed from nose TO nose
without any aid from the hands. In
the peculiar race purple won.
In the third, chair relay race"
the teams lined up. One player at
time ran up, unfolded chair
which lay folded on the foor) sat on
it, folded it and returned it to Its
former position. He then ran back
and touched the next players hand.
Purple, who seemed to be uncomonIy
quick sitters, won this game.
Next was relay race in which
each player must carry a peanut on
a knife. White won.
In the final race a ball was passed
back over the players heads, the last
player running to the front of the
line and passing the ball back until
each had had his turn at the head
of the line. Miss Hite checked the
slips of the red and purple teams as
winners.
Finally was an informal scramble
for the bowls containing peanuts and
jelly beans.

Results OF Play

The play "Oh Aunt Jerusha,"
which was presented in the high
school auditorium last Thursday and
Friday nights, was a big success.
In spite of bad weather conditions
the auditorium was practically filed
both nights. About $125 was taken
in, which will be divided between
the P. T. A. and the Fire Company.
Much credit must be given to all
those who had part. The work of
the committee of Ruth Little, Neva
Grason and Mary Thomas in dis
tickets for sale among the
school children was greatly appreci-
ated; as was also the help Mr.. War
rem and several of the senior boys
gave in fixing the stage and scenery.

HER LONELINESS NEVER FADED
EVANGELIST JOHN MOSES BAKER
Baltimore Maryland

Author of "A Good Wife Heavens Gift to Man"
Her loneliness never faded,
But as fair and bright to me
AS the day we set sail together,
Out over lifes beautiful sea.
Her voice just the very sweetest,
In the evening time of life,
AS it was in the early morning,
When she first became my wife.
The heart that loves truly loves on evermore,
And the sunshine as fair and as bright.
Time cannot make any changes,
AS we near the harbor light.
Some day in that beautiful city,
When the last battles fought and won,
And the words of the Blessed Master,
Faithful servants, well done"
Our eternal career in Heaven,
Around the Great White Throne;
No parting words will ever be spoken
In that Land of Home, Sweet Home.

Military history was made yesterday
when the Grand Army Of the Re-

along Pennsylvania avenue.
This is said to be the first time in
history that an organization Of any
kind has marched ahead Of the Regu-

GERS at the War Department said that,
although there did not appear to be
any definite records on the subject,
1t was invariable custom that the
Army. as senior military service, al
ways leads off in military professions.
So far as could be ascertained, no
civilian or veterans organization ever
before had been accorded the honor
granted to the Grand Army.
Brig. Gen. Charles D. Roberts,
marshal of the I'd Division, who was
in command Of the Army units in the
parade. was asked before the process
sion how he felt about the Army yield
ing precedence to the Grand Army.

TOLEDO, September 24.-Dust-

ganized into dynamite-throwing
squads, battled today to crush dog
gedly resisting Fascists inside the
ruined Alcazar.
The way was prepared for the
militiamen by a heavy artillery bar
rage. As soon as the cannonade
ceased, the Socialist formations ad-
vanced to blow the Fascists out OF
their war-torn havens.
The insurgents swarmed into the
upper section of the battered south
and east sides Of the fortress and
raked the advancing government ranks
with rifle and machine gun fire. The
ruins shook with the crash Of ex-
plosions and in the cellars a mo
quarter sniping contest filled the
air with flying bullets.
For the first time in almost month
the Fascists held strategic point
on the great upper walls of the his
toric fortress from which they were
able to dominate the city gates.
