EDITORIALS ' -. Y' , 31-1-. 1, -- 1, A V sf - Yf, --V - A , - -- --- new arf' 1 r- -. A -V The second term of the Anderson Union High School began September 6, with an enrollment of forty-live. Everybody was refreshed by the summer's vacation and ready for the school work. NVe missed many of the old familiar faces, but welcomed the newcomers who filled up the ranks. The rooms were more crowded than last year. It was necessary to make smaller typewriter desks in order to accommodate all the Commercial students, but by this means and by a rearrangement of the desks everybody got a seat and the work went merrily on. One change occurred in the faculty. Miss Romaine accepted a position in the Concord l-ligh School and Miss Alice Hunt, a graduate of the University of California, has had charge of the Latin, the English and the drawing room. The Associated Student Body had so little to do last year that no great interest was taken in it, and by the end of the term its membership was very small. Wiith the beginning of this term it took on new life. Practically all of the students became members and it has been an active and useful element in the school. It has had general control of athletics. Various important questions have come become the Association. Special mention should be made of the Debating Society and the influence it has had on questions of school life. The rather novel' plan of subscribing for a number of the best magazines for the use of the debaters was adopted. If this is carried out it will result in our having a good reference library for debaters. Next year the school will be L1llClCl' the guidance of Mr. Batdorf, who has put in two strenuous years in the Commercial department. It is probable that we will have a new fence and larger school buildings next year. NVe are glad to hear that Miss Romaine has been appointed vice-principal of the Concord High School for next term. Our advertising section is a little larger than last year. VVe may say, in general, that the school has had good support from the people of Anderson.

LITERARY f Q ,--ZA! The Troubles of a Freshie LIEONA VVATSON, '14. Oh! I-Iow tired I am! I have read the first few chapters in Norse Stories over and over again, until I can hardly bear the weight of the book in my hand. The names are so hard to remember! I don't see why the writer ever put such names in a book. VVhy eouldn't he have said 'the ringing horn' instead of 'Gjallar-horn' and 'wanderer' instead of 'Gangraadf especially when they both have the same meaning?,' These were the thoughts of a poor freshie, who had been toiling for some time on this little book. A deep sigh came from the reader and he said: O, dear me! I wish I could go for a boat ride or go hunting up on the hill. It is so hot and I just can't learn this stuff. l1Vhat is the use anyway? Wfith this the book dropped to the side of the sofa on which he was sitting and his head fell upon the sofa pillows. Then his thoughts wandered along the river, over the hills to the many birds that he would have killed if it hadn't been for that old English. All of a sudden he heard two weak little voices talking together. One of them said: Ullfhat will we do with this wicked boy who has been killing the birds that were sent from Asgard to gladden the hearts of men, instead of study- ing his lessons ?l' This the boy recognized to be the voice of Fjalar, one of those mean little dwarfs. ' The best thing I can think of is to take him to the edge of Ginungagap and throw him in, said Galar. Oh! 1et's not do that, said the cruel Fjalar, he would die right away and wouldn't get half the penalty which he deserves. Let us take him to Ititunheim, where the frost giants live. Then if we think he is not punished enough we will take him to the skillful little dwarfs in the interior of the earth and let them make him into birds so that other boys may kill himf' lVhen the poor boy heard this plan and thought of being shot, he attempted to get up but found himself bound in a web. I-Ie tried to call out, but his lips seemed glued together and he could only mumble. The dwarfs silenced him with threats and, in spite of his ceaseless attempts to free himself, they carried him rapidly towards frozen Jotunheim.
