18 in W W W W A Y BLUE AND WHITE g g EHORACE T. HOUF G. H. S. students were privileged to have Rev. Horace T. Houf, pastor of the Baptist church, with them in chapel on April 7. He took as his theme the sub- ject of Abundant Living. Every one is really living or merely existing. Life originates on the inside and every day pays its way. Life is a bubbling spring by its own power purifying the water of which it is made. Like wise things that purify human life originate on the inside. We must give to the world if we expect to get anything from it. Everybody carries a magnetic current, there is a certain mag- netic field about us, which, if positive, draws others to us, if negative, there is a reaction and we repel people. Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln are won- derful examples of magnetic personalities. Good health is one of the things that go to make up a magnetic field which will benefit us. People with strong personal- ities have formed good habits which lead to good health. In the next place we should be able to direct our energy in a way that really counts and use self-control. And furthermore we ought to be useful in that we turn all our energy loose to accomplish what we have set out to do. There are some people in this world who have lost faith in human kind, but the man with the most friends is always the man who bc- lieves in everyone. The last element in a magnetic field is love. Divine love always has met every human need and always will. ' This issue is the last of our five for this school year. It serves as our annual, and the Seniors have formed the staff. We want to thank our subscribers and adver- tisers for helping us make the Blue and White possible. It means much to our school, and we hope that it has pleased you to the extent that we may have your co-operation next year. Granville High was very fortunate in the county theme contest. Three essays were submitted from Senior High and each won a prize. Mayme Zetta Jackson was given first prize, Adaline Sipe, second, and Harold Shea third. The Junior High also won two places in the grade contest.

IF I ONLY HAD ANOTHER CHANCE When the sun rises in the east, and the dawn brings that one day of all days to the Senior's mind, Commencement, a thought comes to all of us. Those who are to receive a reward for their work are happy in one way and sad in another. Each one looks back and sees the mistakes that have been made. If I only had an- other chance-yes-I would do so many things that I didn't do, and what grades I would make. We find we have wasted so much time and if we had another chance we could go back and make some of it up, but time and tide wait for no one. Some may not be satisfied with the studies they have taken. He or she may not have the required material for their future work. Many, many times have we heard the remark from those who have left school: If I only could have that chance again. Some have utterly failed in their life work and others by mere chance have made use of the knowledge they did have and made a success. Perhaps if they had made use of these gone-by chances some might have made a success and others better success. Our great grandparents and even some of our own grandparents did not have a chance for education. They see the present day opportunities and say Oh, if only I had had that chance. We should take notice of these facts and make the best of all the good that comes our way. Do things well in the future that we will not have to look back and wish we could do it over again. Many activities in our school have been carried on more successfully this year. Yet, we hope for greater improvement along many lines. Our two literary socie- ties should accomplish far more. If pro- grams for the entire year were arranged at the beginning of the semester, better results would be obtained. Students, de- vise plans during your vacation hours. Why not have the championship in the tournament in basketball in '22. We have a splendid start. Keep it up! More interest was shown in oratory this year. It doesn't matter so much if we did not get first place at Newark. Our Ora- torical in Granville showed what bene- fits we have derived from our training. We have not had those debates, however, with other schools, for which we have been longing. Now, for debating next year. OUR TROPHY HALL Who would have thought that Granville High School would ever possess such a wonder, as a Trophy Hall? Well, after a great deal of talk, we really have suc- ceeded in starting one. What a pity that such a movement could not have been started years before, so that now Granville High School would possess something really worth while. Already a number of athletic pictures have been collected, especially football teams which represented Granville High School in 1913. Perhaps the oldest picture which represents an athlethic team for our high school is that of basketball in 1906. It is true, that many of the present-day pupils do not know any of the players representing that team, but it is very amusing to compare those of the present day with those of the past. What a. curio- sity. Granville High School has already won one baseball championship pennant and why not have more than one hanging in our school? On the opposite wall of the hall will soon appear the pictures of the Blue and White staffs of 1920 and 1921. Besides these will be one of Kenneth Breeze, the winner. of first prize at last year's County Oratorlcal. H V qi Q U The following pupils received an aver- age of ninety or above in each of four sub- jects the last six weeks: Hazel Dunlap, Kathryn Howe, Wilhelmina Hulshizer, Junanita Jones, Helen Owens and Roberta Davis. In each of three subjects: Margaret Brooks, Dorothy Hobart, Earl Williams, Kathryn Silliman, Elizabeth Hale, Adaline Sipe, Dean Tyson, Berneda Lowery and Mary Case. In each of two subjects: Uree Black, Forest Loveless, Lucie Draper, Geraldine Ackley, Lorna Jones, Kathryn Rohrer, Clare Lacock, Russell Pierson, Katherine Richardson, Mary McLain, Harry Deeds, Ruth Woolard, Dorothy Blade, Georgia Ables, Ruel Carpenter, Gladys Curtis and Raymond Galbraith. The alumni are planning for a real ban- quet this year. The definite plans were not made at the time of going to press. For the desired success it will be necessary to have the co-operation of all alumni. Let us show the high school that the Alumni Association is a live one.

BLUE AND WHITE 19 il Commencement exercises will be held at the Presbyterian church, June 2, at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Collicott, superintendent of the Columbus schools, will deliver the class address. The Baccalaureat sermon will be de- livered Sunday evening, May 22 at the Baptist church by Rev. Bowden. After our victory at the Oratorical con- test, Friday evening, April 22nd, we gave a surprise party for our contestant, Jua- nita Jones, at the home of Mabel Dicken. The house was effectively decorated in our colors, orange and black. Games and eats were the prominent features of the even- ing. At a late hour the guests adjourned. Everyone reported a jolly good time. Frances Bacon spent April 26 with her school friend, Dorothy Hobart. Uree Black entertained the Misses Courtright, Greene, and Herandez at din- ner Tuesday evening, May 10. BACON BAT Who said Thorn's woods wasn't a dandy place for a Bacon Bat? If you don't be- lieve it, just ask us Where we were Tues- day evening, April 26. Oh, yes, and what we did? Just ask Miss Courtright, she went along-and wasn't it Beeny that had usfall scared to pieces saying he killed three copperheads in that very spot last summer-and who drank the bottle of Ketchup? Yes, it was ketchup and nothing more, and were the senior boys basfhful? At least Lee and Lovey weren't. But where were the absent ones? Did we get caught in the storm? Oh, well, that did-n't matter as long as we had a rip- ping good time. Oh, yes, I forgot to men- tion the wonderful yell we gave on Broad- way. I guess the whole town knew we were out on our last spree. Katharine Howe was the guest of Helen Owpns for the week-end a short time ago. During the time they entertained with a maple sugar party several of their friends. aile Davies and Earle Williams attend- ed.a play at Jacksontown, April 22. Mrs. A. B. Conklin will be a guest of Granville friends during the latter part of this month. It is hoped that Mr. Conklin may join her and that the two may remain for commencement week. THE WHITTER LITERARY SOCIETY The Whitter Literary Society is one of School which must not be forgotten. It the many organizations of Granville High held its first meeting October 5, 1920, when the following officers were elected: President, Kathryn Sillimang Vice-Presi- dent, Clare Lacock, Secretary, Mary Ches- shirg Treasurer, Milford Smoke. We have for the most part had meetings every two weeks during the year which have brought great interest among the high school students and teachers. Many interesting debates have been given of which some were: Resolved, That the teacher is a better factor in character building than a minister, which was decided in favor of the affirmative. Resolved: Devotional exercises should begin each school day, won by the afiirmative. Many clever ideas of roll call were carried out as: Whitter quotations, jingles by naming his favorite book and author and Bible verses. Our Valentine program was very successful and enjoyed by everyone. The roll was called and a few responded with an orig- inal Valentine. The society has enjoyed many original stories and humorous read- ings. Several piano solos and duets have been given. A few contests have been held and prizes have been awarded. If pro- grams could be given out at the beginning of another year for each meeting it would be helpful to the students as they would have more time for preparation. BURNS LITERARY SOCIETY Among the other successful organiza- tions of this year is the Burns Literary Society. The officers: President, Kenneth Breeze, Vice-President, Juanita Jones: Secretary, Katherine Rohrer. They have faithfully performed their duties and help- ed to make the society a success. The society meeting every two weeks on Wed- nesday has had many very interesting and helpful programs. Among the most interesting subjects for debate were: Resolved, That the farmer is unjustly treated. Won by the affirma- tive. And resolved, That men are more patriotic than women. This was decided in favor of the negative. These debates were followed by round table discussion in which all entered with enthusiasm. Our Valentine program was a great success and the original Valentine verses and the contests were of special interest. We are sure that the programs have been more than beneficial to us and we all join in saying that we hope that the good Work of the society will be carried over to the next year.
