Loyalty House Last fall the House of Loyalty had 219 sev- enth and eighth grade girls. At the beginning of the second semester 100 in the eighth grade were transferred to Portia House. We now number 185. Loyalty House has combined business with pleasure and has used the long record period for spell-downs, the 7 A's against the 7 B's. The honors are about even in the results. Under the leadership of Miss Giasson, we have had community singing in the auditorium and concerts on the victrola. Loyalty has furnished the only girl member of the orchestra. Several mem- bers of the house are now studying violin in school, so we hope in another year to furnish a much larger quota to that organization. The volunteer programs on VVednesday have brought to light considerable unsuspected talent. Among those who have contributed are: Minnie Besler, Mar- garet Meinka, Hazel Shearer, Pearl Wrench, Sophie Muchalski, and Bunts Richards. Valentine's day was celebrated by a party. Each girl contributed a home- made valentine for the girl whose name she happened to draw. Many of the verses and drawings were very clever. Alice Wanicke's contribution was heart- shaped cookies for all the girls. She received the prize valentine made by Helen Dolenga. , Loyalty had 14 on the honor roll the tirst marking this semester and 16 on the second.

The House of Democracy The House of Democracy had an enrollment of two hundred students the tirst semester. This included some of the boys in the seventh grade and all those in the eighth and ninth grades. During the year we have tried to work out a house organization and government that would truly represent our name. We have progressed surely but slowly. Our officers for the iirst semester were: President. Frederick Ottog vice- president, Kenneth johnson: secretary and treas- , urer, Godfrey Heinrich. A House Council was organized this year. The council acts upon all mat- ters of interest which have iirst been thoroughly discussed by the entire house. It is composed of four boys elected by the House, and the chairmen of all im- portant committees. lt meets every Monday at record. The second semester opened with an enrollment of three hundred boys. Due to the large increase in the number of students, we were forced to give up our old House and move into the House of Portia, which is much larger. After an enthusiastic campaign, which lasted for several days, we elected joseph Rozanski, president: l'anl Ranjak, vice-president: Harry liaron, secretary: and Norbert ljasternacki, treasurer. joseph Rozanski had to leave school and this gave Paul Ranjak his office. Lormier Vvilcox was elected both semesters as one of our representatives for the Student Council and Norbert l asternacki was elected one semester. The various committees have worked hard and accomplished much. The lioard Committee is to be complimented on its excellent work. The members of this committee are: VValter VVashington, chairman: Lormier Wilcox, Carl Clott- cheelt and joseph tiauyek. jack Mallinoff and Sam Stovak are on our Program Committee. Democracy with XVebster and Angell Houses has enjoyed several instructive auditorium meetings. VVe heard a talk hy Mr. llell, vice-president of the Packard Motor Car Company. On April 7, lllr. NVinegar, of the Dodge llros. Automobile Company, spoke to the boys on lXlistits. He used his own life as an illustration and told us how he started as a janitor at a very small salary and worked himself up to his present position. Un April 21 we had the honor of hearing Dr. Cooper give a talk on 'lThe School as a Community.', This talk introduced a new subject for consideration, and it was very interesting to the boys. Ile pointed out to us our duty to our fellow class-mates, and warned us not to trespass on the rights of others. A committee has been appointed to draw up a Constitution. The members of the committee are: Paul Ranyak, chairman: Lawrence Carrico, secretary: Herman Rummeand, VValter Hojnacki. Democracy has a reputation for good scholarship, and the boys are striving to keep up this reputation. Twenty succeeded in making the Honor Roll at the first card marking. This number was increased to thirty-three at the second mark- ing. We also are doing our best to keep the House clean and anyone caught marring the desks will be compelled to pick up all the paper that is lying on the floor. No one except the lioard Committe is permitted to write on the boards. LAWVRENCE CARRTCCJ. 29
