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.

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.
