NO VICTORY
MINUS STING

Jane Nagley was last week carried
to the heights of fame and fortune
by receiving the diamond studded
toothpick.
But alas. on the evening of Friday
the 9th. after receiving the beauti-
full toothpick Jane retired to her
bedroom and began to pick from
her teeth the sand she gathered
from the punch at the Senior Ball.
But as she was about to dig after
one very troublesome grain of sand
a weird voice gently called Sweet
Nothings" She was SO startled that
she swallowed the large diamond
studded toothpick. Scientists, ply
sicians. philosophers. psychologists
and G-Men were Immediately call
ed to the scent. It was all to no
AVIAN and Jane went on to another
and better world, we hope. The
exact time of departure was l1:55
Thursday.
G-Woman Giles has been called
into the case. She wants any in
formation leading to the capture
and conviction of the mysterious
person who called Sweet Nothing"
A toothpick just like James will be
given to anyone giving information.

Days of agony and establishment

the years most perfect plots was
uncovered in the shower room. Tan
talizing odorS of hamburgers made
the suffering in the assembly just
before noon almost unbearable. 1t
reached the climax when several
students remembering their ag-

order to eat humburgers at the Pas
time.
BY approaching on hands and

BY careful deductions and figuring
over the weekend the two haps ar
rived in the shower room. Behold!
the jig was up! G-woman Giles and
Deputy Wall (alias Tubby) were
munching hamburgers. Since no
invitations were given to the hap
detectives to join them in their
after-dinner snack (for reducing
underweights) the two luckless in

ROWINGCREW
PLAYSPASCO

Have you heard that KRIS. is
coming out this year with rowing
crew? Yes they are. The boys with
the destruction class have been
working on the shell for the past
month, but they still can't decide
whether it should have wheels or
not. MIR. Johannes, graduate from
w. S. G. says that it would have
wheels because he has never in his
life seen snough water to quite
picture what shell could look like.
Mr. Boulton, however, brags that
he has lived on the coast all his
life and has really been down close
to where the shells were in action
and he can't remember that he ever
saw any with wheels.
The first meet of the season will
be with Pasco, and oh! what a
chance for an argument. Because
the ditch isn't wide enough to take
care of two boats side by side Pas
co declares that they must have the
downstream pull or they won't play
However, whatever the outcome is
we all feel sure that kenneWlck
will float on top.
We are asking the school to back
us in this cause and try to see il
YOU can selp Mr.. Boulto.l and Mr.
Johannes find out how the shell
shall be built.

JUNIOR PROM
EXCITING BAWL

All students should be looking
forward to the annual Junior Prom
to be given February l. pm, in
the furnace ball room.
The motive will be an Ethiopian
idea and unless all students come
dressed as Philippians they will not
be admitted.
Our object is to save the Young
Couples money so they can wear
the same clothes as they did to the
Senior Ball
The first 1000 will be reserved
a spot in front of the high school
orchestra, directed by Mr.. Rogers.
To the Freshmen who believe in
everything they read-April Fools
Day will be here on last Wednes-
day.

In our institution we have a class

by far the most popular in our

NEW BRIDGE

They have just recently put a
bridge across the ditch at the side
of the school house making it ham

school without going clear around
to the lower bridge.
Mr.. Boulton states that this will
really cut down on his mileage per
day. He also remarked that his
wife was getting tired of his fatigue
every night after coming home from
school and holds her responsible
for putting up the biggest fight for
the bridge Ask Mr.. Anon what
happened at the last council meet

much cultivated is that of talking

will probably be explorers in the
future and the sign language will
come in very handy.

to get out of such a class as this
one. At this time they learn the art
of persuasion, and of debating

learning will greatly benefit our flu

The proper treatment
for a bilious child
Three Steps
THREE STEPS
70 RELIEVING
CONSTIPATION

ANY mother knows the reason
Awhen her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constipation.
But what pity so few know the
sensible way to set things rightl
The ordinary laxatives, of even
ordinary strength, must be carefully
regulated as to dosage.
A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need.
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving OF their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment will succeed with
any child and Nth any adult.
The doctors use liquid laxatives.
Hospitals use the liquid form. If it
is best for their use, it is best for
home use. The liquid laxative most
families use is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Any druggist has it.

Dol of suffering if it is borne for

have to bear a cross because of his
own stupidity or because of the
poison of ancestral blood. He may
be compelled to bear a crushing

due to overstrained nerves may
play havoc with the psychic centers
of person who struggles hopeless

can these circumstances rightly in

meaning of the Cross so far as serv-

that it is vicarious. Every great

The Meaning Of the Cross
By LEONARD A. BARRETT

States. The message was the
one word: "Others.'
It is impossible to blend force and
love. The spirit Of the Cross must
prevail if society is to advance. The
Interpretation of life values revealed
through this meaning of the Cross
has given us our noblest heritage.
The law of force has covered the
world with blood and tears. When
the meaning of the Cross shall have
become conferred in our economic
systems, in our educational processes.
and in all our social life, our inner
tied civilization will be secure. Under
the law of force we fight losing
battle.
