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.

Mayme Zetta Jackson and Kathyrn Silli- man were absent from school for a few days on account of illness. The Junior boys tried to beautify their appearances on April 26 by all wearing d rbys to school. We can't say that the derbys improved them very much but everyone enioyed a good laugh. By the time this issue is out, the Juniors hope to have had a real banquet, toasts, courses and all decorations for the Seniors.

LA BONNE COMPAGNIE The French Club was organized in the Fall of 1920 with the students of French II as active members and of French I as associate members. It has been under the supervision ef Miss Greene, and many en- tertaining programs have been given the students and have accomplished much that will help them in their French course. One of the most interesting features is the French correspondence, from which they learn all about French manners and cus- toms. Madamoiselle Musy, who has been in this country only about two months, was at the last meeting, and sang some songs and talked with the members. They en- joyed her visit very much and invited her to the next meeting which is to be a picnic. The Fiench Club has proved a great suc- ccss, and the members wish to thank Miss Greene for making it so, and express their hope that she will come back again next year to carry on the work which is so well begun. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Until the past year our Glee Club had never been definitely organized, but now that we have our feet on a firm basis we hope the good work will be kept up in the future. Members, twenty-five in number, are granted one-fourth credit for a full years work, excuses for absence and tard- iness being required as in regular classes. The greatest success of the Glee Club this year was an Indian operetta, The Feast of the Red Corn, given in Recital Hall just before spring vacation. On the evening of April 4th the club entertained the War Mothers for twenty or thirty minutes with some miscellaneous selections. The music for commencement on June 2 will be furnished by the Glee Club. New officers will be elected the first of next school year and it is hoped they will make a big success of the organization. Of course, if Miss Courtright is not here we cannot tell what will happen, for it has been only through her efforts that the Glee Club has done so well. Helen Owens recently spent a few days with Katharine Howe. Both were guests at an informal dinner party during the following week-end.
