Miss Yong appeared with Garbo in The Painted Veil. In regard to the present situation in China, she stressed the unity of China which has been brou ht on by the war. This unity, stated Miss Yong, is not the result of any accident or force of circumstance, but of internal work centering in the new life movement begun in l934. She maintains that, although there may be a militaristic victory for Japan, China achieves victory in keeping its morale and in finding unity. Her address was completed with three fine character sketches in the authentic costumes of the Chinese stage. Zets And Q. D. Sponsor Spell-Down For Two Clubs The Zet-Q.

STUDENTS ATTEND I COUNCIL MEETING Twenty-Two Members Of Municipal Club View Government Twenty-two members of the Munici pal club, accompanied by Miss Marian McDonough, attended a session of the City Council last Monday, February7, in the Safety Building. Welcomed by Leo Wonderly, sergeant at arms of the present city council, the group, heard discussions on whether or not trailers should be allowed to park in the city, on having policemen in the outlaying business districts, unemploy- ment, and equipment for the Navarre Park Shelter House. Those who attended the session were especially impressed with the large groups of citizens who were present and at the length of time the council stayed in session during the day. Mr. Wonderly presented Miss Mc- Donough with several copies of the City Journal and budget. The purpose of attending this meeting was to permit the members to become more familiar with the political life of Toledo. Miss McDonough was urged to bring more students to the sessions. Leo Karnat- owski is president of the Municipal Club.

You bet I am, was the proud reply of an enterprising junior miss. Christened June Martin on July 17, 1921, she grew to the height of 5 feet 7 inches, acquired a charming personality. became the possessor of brunette hair and hazel eyes, hails Sherman as her first Alma Mater, has traveled extensively through Michigan, Wisconsin, and Indiana and is right handed. In addition to being chairman of the annual J-Hop, J.M.M. is an active mem- ber of the Zets and Art Klan, yet finds time to spend on drawing, dancing, and horseback riding. Anything with four legs attracts my attention, but seriously I am very fond of horses. The fact that Daddy owns a sweet shop doesn't seem to make any difference on June's figure as she dotes mainly on steak and mushrooms. I know that the J Hop is going to be a splendid affairg and with the aid of my committee, we'll . make it the best Woodward ever has had, enthusiasti- cally concluded the competent chair- man. Red Cross Representatives Attend Meeting At Monroe- Juanita Tegtmeyer, Amelia Glaser and Clara McVicker, of the Junior Red Cross, attended a meeting Wednesday afternoon at Monroe school. This meet- ing of the Junior Red Cross organiza- tions of all the schools was held to dis- cuss a new method of electing city oiii- cers. Eleanor Klinksick Plenty Hot Other ,Bowlerettes Are Not Eleanor Klinksick stole the bowling honors Tuesday, February 8, when she rolled high scores of 146 and 139. Virginia Carpenter and Violet Pytel were the only other girls who made scores over a hundred. They had 114 and 110, respectively. Other bowlerettes were Marcella Pat- rick, Virginia Striggow, Eugeness Zien- tek, and Selvina Siegman. Miss McClure's scores were 110, 106, and 132. STUDENTS IN SPECT SAFETY BUILDING Miss Rutan's Govern m e n t Pupils Tour Points Of Interest Under the guidance of Sergeant Gladieur, students in Miss Mable Ru- tan's American Government classes had the privilege of taking an inspec- tion trip through the Safety, Fire and Police Alarm Buildings last Tuesday, February S. After walking through the male sec- tion of the cells and taking a ride .in the prisoner elevator, the visitors were greeted by Chief Ray Allen. The pupils were then divided into two groups. One group visited the gymanasium where twelve officers were undergoing uniform and gun inspec- tion. The oiiicers were then assigned to their districts and given a list of all complaints, including stolen and re- covered cars. With the police garage as their point of interest, the second group observed the inspection of the scout cars and examined an old patrol wagon on dis- play. Lieutenant Roth gave an inspiring talk on the morals of the youth of to- dayand the ways in which delinquent actions can be averted. Concluding the tour was an excursion to the Ere call department and the dispatch department. My Great Thrill It was the night of the big basket- ball game. In the locker room, the air was tense with excitement. We went up to the gym to warm up. The whistle blew. The game had started. Through the uneventful quarters, I warmed the bench. The fourth quarter now with 5 minutes to go. The score was 26-26. My pulse leaped as the coach's roaming eyes rested on me. My big chance. My head was filled with ex- citement Fumbling clumsily, I charged up to the coach. He nodded! I nervously paced back and forth, my ears waiting to hear the toot of the referee's horn. It came. My ,big thrill! All my training to show my school how big a hero I was. I darted forth with the wet towels. COLLEGE OR INDUSTRY? Application for admission to DeSales College should be made to the Regis' tar's Oflice, 815 Superior Street,Toledo' Ohio. Credentials from the high school should be filed in the Registrars Oflice in advance of the opening of the se- mester for which the student wishes to register. These records must be sent by the proper official of the school in which they were earned: they must not be handed in by the student. If a student presents 15 units but lacks one high school unit, he will be admitted on the condition that he enter in the subject which he lacks to make up the deficiency. Required units for entrance includes English, 3 unitsg history, 1 unitg algebra, 1 unitg plane geometry, 1 unitg science, 1 unitg language, 2 units. At least three units must be from the following list of electives: modern and ancient lan- guages, advanced mathematics, and special sciences. Not more than three units may be counted from the follow- ing group: commercial, vocational, art, music, and similar subjects. The tuition is four dollars per sem- ester hour, not including special fees. Full time students are required to pay 50 per cent of the tuition and fees be- fore the quarterly examinations. The maximunallowance of study for a student is eighteen hours. What type of young men and women are personnel men of industry looking for? This was the question answered, in an interview last Wednesday afternoon, by Mr. Huntley, Y. M. C. A. secretary, who has a wide acquaintanceship with business and industrial employers. Character, strong character is the most important thing employers are looking for today, stated Mr. Huntley. Honesty, the ability to assume responsi- bility and to work are prime requisities of hopeful young people, according to Mr Huntley. ' Personal appearance is a major point in securing a postion. The applicant should be confident, but not cockey, frank not reticent, truthful not evasive. He must exhibit a spirit of wholeheart- edness for, and an attitude of interest in his work. Personal habits are very important. To keep a job the worker must live with- in his means. If a person runs up huge bills and loses his credit land compan- ies find this out very soonl, his employ- er knows that the temptation to steal or embezzle is great, and consequently will discharge him rather than take the chance. Teachers and friends are sources for recommendations. An employer is in- fluenced not only by a good school re- cord, but also by a teacher's unqualified recommendation. Friendship are valu- able not only for developing personality, but also for providing a constantly in- creasing supply of recommendations. . BELOVED STUDENTS TO GET VALENTINES Mushy, Gushy Lines Will Be Sprayed Lavishly On Sweethearts A day for large red hearts, A day for Cupid's darts, A day when sweethearts pine,---sigh, sigh. ' To send their love a line. fWhich they usually do.J Will you be my Valentine? Donit rush! I love you, Be mine, You have stolen my heart. These are just a few of the sugar laden phrases which we are only too glad to receive at this time of year. Heartbeats quicken, hope heightens, and you know now just where you stand with him or her. And so do the recipients ofthe insult bearing missives, commonly called com- cvalentines which have on them dis- to rted male and female figures and which contain such sweet nothings as these. Stop and read, you big stuffed shirt, You think you are quite a iiirt, The luckiest girls on earth, by Harry, Will be the ones that you don't marry! My, my, now is this girl-chaser's ego depleted. To say nothing of others. Don't the noses of some come down just a little? Doesn't the pest with the match- less sense of humor tone it down? Doesn't the baby talker get some sense and realize she's grown up? Doesn't the practical joker cease operation, for a time at least? Perhaps you will or will not receive one of these gentle reminders, but if you do, mend your ways, and if you're a good boy or girl, you might get the other kind next year. Anyhow, it's worth tryingi Or is it? Francis Hunsicker To Have Leading Role In Junior Play Francis Hunsicker has been selected to play the lead in the junior class play, Anne of Green Gables, to be given April 7. Amelia Glaser is student director, who will assist Miss Dorothy Warner in directing the production. Although there have been tryouts, no other parts hav been assigned.

LaRue We are well away on the home stretch of this school year. When these lines come to you there are only fifteen weeks left to work out your courses. This time includes holidays and examinations. Already pupils who cannot stand the pressure of learning anything difhcult or who cannot take it when a teacher insists upon a little work being done, are streaming into the office with requests to drop subjects, change courses, or change teachers. .Fortunately the great majority works away and plows through the difficulties no matter how great they are. It is to this latter class that words of encoura ement are due. You are destined to do the :ps f . 'fs IL W .5 -f, SelT, X, -ff l, X X ff:..M- gs g ig' S worth while work ofthe world. You will be the leaders in the future. Every time you conquer a difiicult task, every time you make yourself do some unpleasant but necessary bit of work, you are building up sinews of strength to carry you through the hard places of the future. The general complaint now is that we are in a peri- od of easy living. Too many people are becoming im- bued with the idea that something may be had for nothing.

Yet there are many small points which are sometimes overlooked. Starting next week, the Tattler will attempt to give a few facts about etiquette that are not so well known. Use The Third Hour HY MUST students roam around the halls during conference hour? If it keeps up, the third period will have to be discontinued. Then there will be no educational programs or entertainments. Make your third hour count. If not attending a club meeting or conferring with a teacher, study read, improve yourself. Swiftest Of Evils T IS unnecessary to relate the legend of George Washington and the Cherry Tree, for we all probably know it by heart. The underlying fact, that Washington was a truthful and honorable man, might be stressed, however, to groups of students with fruitful and imaginative minds. Gossip is the outlet for many! It begins, perhaps, with some insignificant bit of dope Then gradually it is expanded into a rumor ofa detrimental character. The motive for gossip is not so much the urge to get even as the desire to attract attention and entertain groups. The short-lived pleasure derived is not sufficient to compensate for the victim's pro- found embarrassment and our later regret. Don't forget that our characteris judged by our conver- sation and actions. Maybe we all can't be presidents of the United States, but we all can imitate the first president by being truthful. A The Dead Comes To Life AST WEEK we noted with appreciation how certain teachers were enlivening a dry subject, American government, in an interesting man- ner. Nothing can be so boring as a succession of dead facts about our government, nor can anything be so interesting as actual participation in our govern- ment. Co-ed Prom---Good music---Excellent decorations- Good time had by all. Something for other dance committees to aim at. l ,1...l.-.1 Orchids to the W girls for their fine work of ushering during the basketball games at our school. strategic maneuvers. Standing out in bold relief against a background of bitter defeats and discouragements is that eventful Christmas night at Trenton, where with only 6,000 men he crossed the Delaware and gave a crushing blow to the British hopes of victory. Washington was imbued with a strong sense of loyalty, devotion, and duty to his country. His whole life as a planter, soldier, and statesman seems circled round a simple adage inscribed in one of his textbooks: Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of Divine fire called conscience. Returning to his beloved home, Mount Vernon, after the war he intended to spend the rest of his days in the quiet seclusion of his plantation, but the nation rose as one man and requested that he guide our new republic. Saddened by the thought of leaving his home so soon, but nevertheless always ready to serve his people to the best of his ability, he accepted this great honor. George Washington, the first president of the United State, stands First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. Know The Faculty?

In Our Library Built out of the reminiscences of the author Carol Brink's grandmother, Caddie Woodlawn, one of the new books in Woodward's library, is a true story of life on the Wisconsin frontier. It was written primarily for young people but would be of interest to anyone. Of the six Woodlawn children, 12 year old Caddie is by far the liveliest and the most mischievous. The story is laid in Civil War days, but this fam- ily is more concerned with farming, Indians, and other local problems rather than with the great war. - Caddie, who had been a weak baby, was allowed to grow up with the boys learning to plow rather than to keep house. She enjoyed life to the hilt and found everything about her interesting and thrill- 1n . 5 massacre was threatening when Caddie exacted a pledge of faith from the Indians. She discovered, in an old trunk, tiny dancing boots which brought to light the the fact that her father was of English nobilityg then an unexpected inheritance forced the Woodlawns to choose between America with its struggles and England with the promised wealth, or as Caddie expressed it, between the pigeon and the peacock. s This book is rich in background which clearly pic- tures the American pioneer spirit which has made this great nation possible. Three cheers for Carol Ryrie Brink and her book, Caddie Woodlawn! Bureau Of Missing Persons Missing: A cute blond who doesn't fiirt. An English man who doesn't like tea. A girl who'll turn down a new dress. A boy of eighteen who hasn't been in love at least once. The pest who put your lock on backwards. The boy who broke the window. The correspondent who always answers his letters. A high school student who is never broke. The student who hasn't at some time forgotten his conference hour card.
