Major Does Amateur program was
held in the Elkton Armory, Tuesday,
February 9th.
This was quite interesting for two
students of Rising Sun High School
participated in this program. Cath
crime Etter, soloist, sang Gin the
Chapel in the Moonlight, and Ger
trude Buck, soloist also, sang
There's something in the air."
Prizes were awarded to the hill
billies and tap dances although our
singers, I'm sure, were very good and
if they try again with some lucky
song they really might win some Of
these prizes.

The members of the Journalism
Club thought it would be quite inter-
esting to see what some Of the grad
yates from our school were doing.
With little investigation we found
out about a good many Of our 1885
graduates. Dorothy Hindman, Hazel
Hall and Ruth Little are going to
Beacon College and doing splendid
work there, Ruth and Dorothy hav.
ing an average of A and b in every
subject. John Tyson and Leonard
McGlothin are attending Goldey and
doing well. We are proud to report
that Leonard is the understudy OF
the main character in their annual
play. Hope Reynolds is doing fine
work at the Baltimore Business Col
lege. Vera Divine is enjoying her
work in beauty culture in Whining
ton. Paul GRAPHICAL is going to Tome
Hill School and getting an average Of
80 in most of his studies which Is

self up in the business and we hope
he does. Alvin Lucas is employed
at the Oxford Mill Works and likes
his job alright. Several of the boys
are driving trucks, among them are:
Spencer Murphy, Emory Rawlings.
Alfred Gyles is doing carpenter work
with his father and enjoys it very

MY GREATEST TREASURE
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

More than any other treasure,
Is the Christ who died for me.
How can we help but love Him,
When we think of Calvary.
When the sun is shining brightly,
And no storm clouds in the sky
The song birds singing sweetly,
Christ my all in all is nigh.
When the clouds are dark and heavy
On life's rough and stormy sea;
More than any other treasure,
Christ is all and all to me.
More than any other treasure;
How sweet His blessed name.
The Christ who never changes;
Always, always just the same.
When the toiling time is over,
And we reach that happy place
In the home Of many mansions,
We shall see Him face to face.

Editorial
A student is very much encouraged
if his work is praised when he has
done it well and will work on 1t hard
err than ever before to reach higher
goals. In our school much has been
accomplished in this field. Every
year the Lions Club of Rising Sun,
presents a medal to the girl with the
best scholastic record and the boy
with the best scholastic record in the
Senior class on commencement. The
Alumni Association makes an award
to the best all around girl and boy
student. These awards are very
much appreciated by the school.
This year the school is going to
award emblems to deserving boys
and girls who are engaged in athlet-
les and have so many years of prac-
tice to their credit. This is very
worthwhile project, and will spur
others on to- try and win one of these
attractive emblems.
l think that these emblems should
also be awarded to students who do
outstanding work in their lessons.
Everyone can't do well in athletics,
just as everyone can't excel in their
lessons. We hope that, in year or
two, the school will be in such finan-
cial condition that it can give en-
blems to pupils leading in their class
work. Extra credit should also be
given to students who are active in
clubs and other activities which ben
eft the school.
This year the Herr Jones Company,
from whom we purchased our rings
and pins, is awarding six gold med
ais. There are two for scholastic,
two for activities and two for ath-
letics. AS yet it hasn't been decided
for what these will be given. The
subject of awards is to be taken up
in the next faculty meeting. We all
think that it is fine thing to give
recognition for outstanding work Of
our pupils.

Just as a random observation
backed up by no authority on
research. it apepars that in times
of stress we turn either to the
superhuman or subhuman or both.
AS to the former, clairVoyants and
mystagogS thrive in the depression
years. and this imposing eXpedl-
tion, under the leadership Of Har-
ward University, brings to a peak
an extraordinary revival OF Sclen-
tific and lay interest in the sub
human balloons, apes, monkeys
and gibbons.
During the last two years, there
has been a boom in monkeys.
Columbia University keeps about
thirty of them, under the con-
slant study of psychologists, bio
logists and anthropologists. Other
universities are king out
elaborate research in monkey do
ings and stocking their seminars
with everything they can get in
that line. Never before has there
been such a demand for anthro-
poids-black, gray, brown or
white.
IN DEMAND
Frank Buck is fixing for an
&,,r - 4hn Dutch Fact
Indies. There is a demand for
monkeys all over the country. 1t
is not alorn the scientists who
want monkeys. They are in de-
mand for pets. In Southern Cali
fornia, where the climate suits
them better, they are beginning to
rival movie stars in popularity.
At that, taking homo Sapiens as
he is, monkeys seem like rather
nice little people.
But regardless of mans eternal
preoccupation with the Subhuman
and superhuman, monkeys have
always charmed and fascinated
mankind. In India they are sa-
cred. Last July. in Bombay, there
was a royal wedding of two mon
keys, staged with elaborate ritual
and with impressive real cere-
monies. The groom was year-old
monkey named Vithal, supposedly
a descendant of Hanuman, the
ancient monkey god.
A venerable guru had had a
vision in which he had been com
manded to take his staff and script
and go through the land search
ing for "a wise, fair-looking male
monkey which will be a descendant
of Hanuman." SO he found
Vithal. Sunderi, the bride, came
from one of the "holy monkey tenn
pies" where the most beautiful
and clever female monkeys are
kept for the day when a royal
bridegroom shall appear.

The letter written by an obser-
yer, about Kansas City, Mo-, and
published in this paper last week
has caused some considerable COM
ment. Some who have lived in or
round about Kansas City claim the
commentator was unfair because
he failed to make any mention of
the high spots of the city; its ex-
cellent schools, it's beautiful
churches, and its high type of citi-
zens, reflected in it's teachers, bust
nessmen and professionals.
1t raises these interesting ques-
tons: Should an observer, passing
through community, write only of
the things that do that community
honor, or, should he write only of
those things of which it's citizens
are least proud, or should he COM
bine the two and write of them
both.
These questions my readers may
answer, each one for himself; I do
not intend to try and influence that
decision here. But I have very
deep interest in a thought that
rises in my mind in which I hope
the community can join in single
agreement.
When any city, be it Kansas
City, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Chi
cagO, or New York, has a large
population many of whom in their
thoughts, actions or business re-
feet no credit upon it; a group that
may be spoken of only APOLOGIZE
cally, it is a challenge to its bet
ter element, to its citizens who try
to think right, to do right and who
seek to foster those businesses
which help to influence it's younger
people to higher regard for all
that the world recognizes as worth
while. 1t is an indictment of its
clergy-its educators, its press and
its intelligence if such things are
allowed to. go unchecked and
spread their virus among its peo-
pie; especially it's young people.
