SMITH While filling the position of principal of Elwood lligh everyone regarded Professor Smith an unusually capable executive, but not until he became Superintendent were his true accomplishments realized. Ile is taking his M. A. degree at Columbia Universitiy, and with his educational facilities we reit- erate that Mr. Smith is capable of retaining an office of a much greater de- gree of importance. Occasionally we are given the opportunity to hear a few words from him. for which we are exceedingly grateful. Mr. Smith indirectly guides us over the pathway of our educational career and to him We are indebted to an un- fathomable extent for the successful completion of our school life. MR. HUFF For the past three years Mr. Huff has steered us through the deep seas of our High School career in an extremely commendable manner. Ile has settled our questions for us, both trivial and important and is ever ready to aid one 'in distress. His aim is to train the student to give to the world the highest and best of which he is capable, to develop us into the future leaders of our destinies -men and women who will stand out as noble in thought, in word, in action, in the eyes of our fellow men-as citizens of the fairest land, whose freedom we enjoy and venerate, and to whose eternal existence we have pledged our all, We know that Mr. Huff is working for our good.

Station E. II. S. broadcasting- a voice announced, and we eagerly waited to hear what this familiar broadcaster, Supt. Smith, might have in store for us. At the time of this announcement Mr. Huff is abroad, making some rare collections in Venice. Harold liehymer, a substitute member of the faculty is capably filling this position Principal. Mr, ,Harsh has given up teaching and is now a famous director of plays -his most sensational work continues- 'l'he Whole Town 's Talking. Miss Spencer has been promoted to his position as head of the English depart- ment, with the understanding that she will not talk more than forty minutes 111 a period. A contest in French and Latin between Misses Beeson, Reese, and Foote, and Mrs. Logan-ltecords, was to be held in the audito1'iun1 a few days ago, out Miss Foote lsnew so many different languages that she was held ineligible and the contest was accordingly postponed u11til she has time to forget some of them. Mr, Kratli and Mr. Noble have perfected an experiment that enables communication witn Mars-they are now regarded as world famous and their resignation is expected ill the near future. Athletics still hold full sway over El Hi and Mr. Phillips, although now old and grey, is worlging his men hard. A game with Notre Dame University is scheduled for next Saturday. Mr, ,House and Mr. Koontz are the efficient mascots of the team. Some dispute has arisen regarding the value of pi, and Mr. Forney, Miss Grosswege, and Miss Thurston are in consultation this afternoon. Their verdict will be announced later. Miss Welborn at this time is Writing a book entitled Pounding His- tory lnto Sophomoresf' Mr. Ashton is sorely displeased because it is whispered he wished to Write a. book of the same theory. You will remember Miss Cox. She is now listed as a famous Senator, and it is said she is very diplomatic--as usual. At this some seemed surpris- ed, while others have an 'I told you so,' gleam in their eyes. The program continued and we devoured each word. fContinued on page 1175 Page Nineteen
