The evening was spent playing games, Mr. Fuller and Miss Slaughter favored the class with solos. The banquet was a wonderful success, it be- ing largely due to the hard work of the officers and teachers. This, however, is only one of the joyous th,at the juniors are having. German Club The first meeting of the German Club took place Wednesday evening Nov. 13, at the home of Grace Zimmerman. Everybody was rather subdued and awestricken at first, how- ever, Miss Server lifted the gloom by pinning slips to everyone's back, on which were written the name of some animal.

The Junior 2:20 class in English has been taking up debating and as a result some very instructive and interesting debates have been held. The first debate was on the question: “Whether Mac- beth was a. victim to circumstances or the cause of bis own down- tall. The decision of the judges was in favor of the affirmative. In the second debate the proposition was: “Whether Written Term Examinations should be abolished in Hudson High School. The de- cision was two to cne in favor of the negative. The questions that are argumented are such that all students understand and are in- terested in and hence debates were handled by the students in an extremely creditable manner.

Then Mr. Fuller sang, “An dem reinsten Fruhlings Mongen’’ Margaret Williams read a paper on Heinrich Heine; another one was read on custofns in the German school. Grace Zimmerman and Blanche Ammunds sang “Ach wie kann ich dich verlassen’ and as an encore “Ach du lieber Augustine.” After the program we had a buisness meeting and then refresh ments were served, apples, peanuts and fudge. Miss Server offer- ed to tell Mr. Burkholder’s fortune. After a great deal of protest- ing “he bit”. Anyone who wants to know his fortune had better goto Mr. Burkholder. He will probably be reasonable and re- liable.
