x, -. .x X R . 24 SPECTATOR The IDISHIIIIHIIICHI COHfCICHCC In 1920, William E. Borah, United States Senator from Idaho, offered a resolution, authorizing President Harding to begin negotiations for a disarmament conference, which Congress passed in June of this year. In July, President Harding presented to Great Britain, France, Italy, and Japan, the plan to send representatives to this disarmament conference to consider the limitations of arms and the problems of the far East. In August, he sent formal invitations to these countries requesting them to meet in Washington on Armistice Day, November 11. In doing this, President Harding had supporting him, not only the resolution of Congress, but also the good will of the entire nation. The other nations accepted America's invitation with virtually the same attitude as our own. Eng- land responded with enthusiasm, France's opinion was also favorable, and it won the popular approval in Japan. Ap- parently the desire for such a conference was unanimous. Disarmament cannot be accomplished, however, un- less the people of the United States support it with per- sistence and determination to the end. We, the students of the High School, as the future citizens of this nation, should manifest our interest in it. We need only to re- member the boys Whose names are listed on our Honor Roll to realize the importance of such a conference as this. It is significant that the Conference opens on the annivers- ary of the signing of the armistice. Let us make our holi- day on November 11 a dedication rather than a day of amusement. J. S. G.

26 SPECTATOR Chapel exercises were held Wednesday and Thursday mornings, October 26 and 27. Imelda Rinkenberger's two solos were greatly appreciated by the student body. John Gunder, of the Johnstown College of Music, encouraged the project of organizing a band. The Hallowe'en party held by the 192115 class on Fri- day evening, October 28, was one of the most successful activities ever given by any class in the Johnstown High School. Nearly every member of the class was present al- though in their strange costumes they were quite difficult to recognize. Enjoyable features of the evening were danc- ing and a trip to Hades. - ,wk EXCHA Glas y QQ :ff Owing to the fact that so few journals have come to the exchange desk of the Spectator, we are unable to pub- lish comments on other papers.
