Here our organizations vie with each other with all ' the energy they can fiercely but what they muster, yet not so may quickly combine against the dam- gers of a school-at-large victory. No other contest of our school is more cos- mopolitan. This year proved a happy one for the school-at-large. Its representative in declamation, Miss Helen M. Haskell Reaves, Won the go-ld medal, while Mr. Oren Hensley, representative in oration, won the silver medal. The silver medal in the declamatory contest Went to Miss Opal Planck, of the American Literary Society, Mr. Harold Husted, of the Manual Society of Debate, won the gold medal in the oratorical contest. The program was exceedingly inter- esting, greatly improved by the assistance of Manual's superb vocal and instrumen- tal music departments. ' Program. Chairman of the Evening, .TUDGE E. E.

THE NAUTILUS ll One of the most interesting and enter- taining features of this yearis assembly programs was a playlet Latin Play by Latin ..Students. Now, until we can get further information to the reader, we do not ad-vise him to turn up his nose at the suggestion of a play in Latin. It may not son-nd very interesting, we understand, but it is enough to say that the testimony of those who saw it was overwhelmingly in its favor. Firstly, it was a scene in a school room at the time when Cicero, Catilina, Caesar, Pompey and Brutus were pupils 5 we can- not say students, for that carries with it an idea of one who studies. An interest- ing feature was that the place of a toy wagon, or perambulator, was occupied by a chariot of diminutive dimensions, which afforded amusement for the Clit- tlej boys, and in the position commonly filled by a driver was a Teddy bear. No apology is necessary for the creation of a Teddy bear a century B. C., for the object of the playlet was one of en- tertainment, and it certainly accomplished that result. Qther Hanachro-nisms,', quoting from a member of the faculty, occurred, such as that of singing On- ward, Christian, S.oldiers. ' at a period ninety years B. C.-but the playlet was heartily received. The part played by Miss Edith Fel- beck. the school teacher, demanded that she know fourteen pages of Latin. The originator and manager of this novelty, Mr. P. B. Burnett, is to be praised for his fruitful effort, and we hope that suc- ceeding years will perpetuate the annual Latin play, which had its birth in 1912. 3: Rivaling all other school entertain- ments of this year was that by the Amer- ican Literary Society.

The books are classihed into works on Mathematics, History, Litera- ture and Science, and they have been distributed among those departments of the school. E. D. P. :Tc The Third Annual Contest and Open Session of the Deutsch Sprach Verein. This popular function occurred on the night of May ll, and proved to be one of the most delightful and' successful school events of the year. VVhile the chief feature of the evening was the contest for the H. R. Seeger 9510 prizes for best original German ora- tion and best German recitation, still the musical numbers anid the two playets added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening. The oratorical prize was won by Ed- ward Wfinkler and the prize in recitation was awarded to Miss Ruth Ziegler. Too much credit and praise cannot be given to Miss Gertrude Von Unwerth, the devoted chaperon of this society, for the patience and labor that she spent to make the entertainment such a success. The members all acquitted themselves well and in true Teutonic spirit. The following is the program as it was given: Music. .... M. T. H. School Qrchestra RECITAir1ofN CONTEST. 1. The Surety ......
