At the third regular meeting an appropriation of four hundred dollars was asked by the treasurer to partially pay for the football uniforms purchased. This appropriation was accepted and passed. The boys decided they needed an Athletic Manager, so Joe Enos received the position. The president appointed a committee to interview Mr. Halley and Mr. Ackerman concerning the number of minutes and games necessary to be played before earning a letter. A special meeting was called by our president March 12, for the presentation of the letters to the football men. The letters were presented amid loud cheers and hearty congratulations. We have enjoyed music by the boys' and girls' glee clubs occasionally at our meetings, and we hope next year's meetings will be as animated and spirited as those held this year. r ITwenty-twol

'! 1 s THE LOCKED DOOR Just Girl started up the long hill of Education to the home on top, called School. Her mother had given her the key, Home Training, with which she was to unlock the door leading to a room called Social Success, somewhere in back of the School. Now, Just Girl thought much more of this hidden room, Social Success, than she did of all the interesting rooms in the School, so she ran right by the room labeled Geometry, and didn't even so much as glance at the shining letters on the door to Biology. Just Girl saw a flight of stairs leading down, and as there was no passage other than those leading to Chemistry and Latin, she descended. . At the bottom of the stairs called Bluff, she met a sprightly girl named Temptation. Temptation called to Just Girl to follow her, promising she would lead her to the right place. Just Girl didn't ask what the right place was, but seeing Medieval and Modern History in the next room she ran. When she caught up with Temptation whom should she bump into but Tommy Shirky with Inez le Vamp. To her questions as to where they were going, she smiled and said the right place. Two more flights of stairs, led down and past French and General Science. A beautiful room called Spanish, with Senora Expliqueme standing in the doorway almost stopped her, but Georgie Strong-Throat, singing as loud as he could, came out of a hall leading to the fields of Sport, and showed Just Girl his newest baseball glove, Temptation called to her, and she walked on. Then at a dark corner she was nearly frightened to death by an awful hag named Conscience. Tommy Shirky laughed and said, 'ADon't pay any attention to her, she can't hurt youg- anyway-we are at the 'right place' now. ' Just around the corner, Temptation opened a great wide door, and led the way into a room called 'AGood Times. The room seemed to be crowded, and Just Girl opened a little door in the rear of the room, to let in some fresh air. As she opened the door, Alta Always-Dancing, with Joe-Talk-a-Lot, in the throes of the dance called Charleston, crowded her out, and Just Girl fell into the icy waters of Truth. When she came up, what should she see but a flight of stairs, commonly known as Ambition. The waters of Truth were cold, and Just Girl began to fun upSt31I'S. At the Hrst landing, she found the fire of Desire, by which she warmed herself, Just across the hall was a door leading to Domestic Science, which was presided over by Madame Snip-and-Stitch, who gave her some dry clothes. As Just Girl skipped up the stairs, flight after flight. she stopped and entered every room, even the one in which Professoress Dig-'em-Up taught Medieval and Modern History. lTwenty h
