Silently, one by one, in the infinite rank books of teachers, blossom the little zeros, the forget-me-nots of the seniors. A switch in the hand is twice as good on the bush. A hint in time saves flunking. Look before you whisper. A good bluff keeps away zeros. Nothing copy, nothing have. Out of class, out of mind. Love me, love my notebooks. Rank does not make a scholar.

Pmss I SCHOOL CREATES THREE SOCIETIES AMONG STUDENTS GREAT FORWARD STEP TAKEN— SPARTANS, OLYM- PIANS AND THESPIANS IS For some time it has been felt jthat our extra-curricular activities were not complete as we had no lit- erary socities of any kind. Last year we did have a dramatic society, but it did not fill the needs of the school nor satisfy the demands of the students, and so to satisfy these } desires three societies were organ- ized at the beginning of this year. The three societies were numbered and the membership in the societies was determined by lot. Fred Stewart; Treasurer, Geraldine Herriman. For the Olympian— ' - President, Robert Whitmore; Seere- e I tary, Mildred Deuel; Treasurer, Fred Luce. For the Thespians — Presi- l dent Earl Metcalf; Treasurer, Har- s old Walsh; Secretary, Paul McNitt. ;s The purposes of organizing these ,s societies may to some extent be self- evident. The constitutions specify U as their aims to promote better k school spirit, to destroy any cliquish- 7 ness which may exist in the school, to build up a better spirit of co-oper- d ation between the students them- ■- selves, to learn to conduct meetings of all kinds according to the rules THESPIAN PROGRAM The Thespian Society is to be con- gratulated on the splendid program they gave for the assembly last Thursday. In fact, they are the only society who have come up to the ex- pectations of the faculty with their entertainment. Earl Metcalf, president of the so- ciety, opened the program with an address on the aims and achieve- ments of the club. The feature of the program was. a play, The Matrimonial Advertise- ment, with the following cast: Theodosia Ball. .Aunt Martha Gordon Mabel Myers Mary Jane Cole ! Edna Jane Kahn.... Grandmother Cole Jim Baker Jack Cole William Simmons .....Uncle Cyrus Gordon The play was well acted, and the cast evidently spent time and effort in making it a success. Beteween the acts Jim Baker gave a recitation ,and Harold Russell ac- companied by Mrs. Redman, played two violin selections. The whole program was exception- ally good, and it is hoped the other societies will follow the Thespian ' s good example. s
